Above quote from Sean Penn biography, "Sean Penn: His Life and Times", page 14, by Richard T. Kelly, Canongate US Books.

"...Leo was never a card-carrying communist; he was a Democrat all his life..."

It's the new Democratic Battle Cry:

"We're not Communists. We're Democrats!"

"We're Not Communists..."

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck.

The Communist don't hate America as much as the Democrats.

George Michael isn't gay. He just hangs out in public restrooms cruising for men.

"Six of one, half dozen of the other."

The Soviet Union fell. The Democratic Party, in the thrall of the liberal Dems (Clinton/Pelosi/Boxer/Dean/Kennedy), is still around trying to destroy America.

I knew that there was a reasonable explanation out there. Hopefully, OJ will find Nicole's killers on those community golf courses he is restricted to.

"Same church, same pew."

Communist's and Democrats don't believe in God so they won't understand your anaolgy. How about "same rot, same stench?"

Communists are Democrats in a Wicked Big Hurry. On the other hand, the more liberal Democrats insinuate their left Wing agenda into society over time. They prefer a more "Fabian" Socialist approach to your wallet, property and Liberties..

Check out Marx's (and Engle's) Communist Manifesto of 1848. Look at the 10 main points, looks like what the liberal Dems would generally agree with, if pressed hard, no? Look at all the crazy stuff the Dems have stood for, generally. How about Liberation Theology? How about tax increases? How about opposition to roll-bacls in taxes and spending? How about anti-family legislation and other "PC" laws? Spice it up with a little Central and South American Marxism and we are all set! Also, there's nothing like a heavy, graduated "progressive" income tax to finally financially exterminate the people! (sarc. ad extremis).

"We're not Communists. We're Democrats!" Go Kerry in '08! Actually, a Hillary-Dellums ticket would make more 'sense'?... Maybe, ... for Beijing or the likes of Pol Pot. (sarc.) / END

... Good God, please help us all.

Good bud of mine (from childhood):

"I'm socialist, NOT a communist -- there is a difference..."

Then we leave his owned office of prime real estate on the river, hop into his leased Jag, cruise on back to his half-mil dollar hacienda, crack up a couple o' cold ones, sit in his hot tub, take a dip in his heated in-ground pool, and debate how good/bad capitalism is.

"To me the RATs look just like the Chicoms..."

You are, of course, correct. Thing is, I don't think the Chicoms need to be destroyed immediately to protect America, unlike the Democrats, Sean Penn and the French, who are a clear and present danger to America, democray and all that is good in this world.

Gee, how strange. In the course of my California public school education, I only heard that Senator McCarthy was a bad man and that there was no real communist threat. I did learn all about how evil American Empire is and real neat stuff from mandatory gender studies.

The difference in socialism & communism is the same as the difference in seduction & rape. Ala George Putman.
