There actually were Bolsheviks at the march yesterday. More properly, there were Bush supporters who dressed as Bolsheviks. They had put together some brilliant signs, illustrated in Soviet realist style, showing John Kerry wielding a worker's hammer, depicting Marx, Lenin, Engels and Kerry in heroic profile. The signs were emblazoned "Communists for Kerry," and "The next generation building communism for America."
"We're just spoofing," one of the men told me. They'd linked up on Free Republic, the ultra-right-wing Internet site and, well, when these people link up, stuff like "Communists for Kerry" is one of their more polite ideas. They slipped into the march and nobody seemed to notice, object or recognize that they weren't actually communists and weren't actually for Kerry. Many of the signs yesterday said, "Bush Lied," but when his supporters do it, it still works.

Whats scary to me is that this is supposed to be a parody, but the communist party is endorsing kerry and is supporting him.
Scary a parody that is actually being done, in real life.

Ted Turner or some other lib/dodo will charter cruise boats giving free fares to all those rich libs wanting to get away from the rest of us, forever is the catch. Imagine, these yokels leaving while illegals sneak in? Hilarious ain't it?

Now we're "ultra-right-wing" eh?I suspect that the story originally said, "right-wing hate site," but an editor got nervous and changed it to, "the ultra-right-wing Internet site."

Here are some
real communists for kerry -- the cp/usa -- can't get much more communist than that.
And there's more. On their home page, they offer "ten reasons" to defeat Bush, ie. elect kerry.

After shouting at a knot of Republicans who stood outside Madison Square Garden, the marchers shouted at a billboard. Fox News had taken out a big ad on the corner and the marchers screamed "Fox lies" at it for a while. Turning the corner by Macy's Department Store, they discovered a huge video screen streaming the Fox News report. They yelled at it, too, until a roar of approval went up as Fox broadcast the protesters live. They watched themselves on TV, then moved on. What a bunch of narcissistic morons.

Oh, I don't know about that.
There's at least one notch to go. Remember Russ Meyer's ''Beyond the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens''? (g!...and ducking very smoothly...)
