Communists boiled babies: Berlusconi

Got to admit, communists do not have a great history with babies...still don't!

[Cyclopean Squid]

Mao was just upset because all the babies were afraid of that weird mole on his chin.

[starfish923]

The Italians have the world's lowest birth rate.
They are killing themselves off, with no help from the commies.
Perhaps, though, the commie party leads the abortion issue, the smaller family drive. I don't trust the commies; never did; never will.

Kill a commie for mommie

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Go and read the black book on communism and you'll find that under Mao's China they didn't eat babies but they boiled them to fertilise the fields.

And to think we had people in the media and academia defending these wackos and still do.

Nice little red x. Did they really eat them too?

[Cicero]

That Mao! Always practical.

If you have to kill a few million babies, you'd might as well put them to use as fertilizer to help the Five Year plan along.

And it makes good Communist scientific sense to boil them, so there won't be any chance that these politically incorrect babies will spread their germs onto the wheat, and thereby endanger the party cadres who get to eat the wheat, while the peasants starve.

Sorry, it was a Snopes.com picture. Maybe they block it or something.

It comes up fine in my Preview.

The way I read it on snopes, the pic is a fake.

Claim: Taiwan's hottest restaurants offer grilled and barbequed fetuses.

Status: False.

Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2001]

[Ironclad]

Take a look at what happened in the Ukraine in the 1930s. 12 MILLION dead from starvation and summary execution on the theory that if the farmer had grain in the barn he was hiding a lot more, so they took all of what he had on hand and he and his family starved to death, and if he didn't have any grain he was obviously hiding some, so they shot him and his family as counter-revolutionaries. They didn't need to boil babies for fertilizer - there was plenty of fertilizer available.

A must read.

Just finished Anne Applebaums, "Gulag", and Bardach's "Man is Wolf to Man"

Also reccomend "Koba the Dread" and "Harvest of Sorrow."

Yup definitely a great guy, sounds just like the type you'd want to have over during your new year's eve party for a few laughs.

(In your best Foghorn Leghorn voice) ... I's a joke son, don't you get it!

Communism killed hundreds of millions during its reign of terror. Hitler was an amateur by comparison!

"A must read." - I bought it when it first came out a few years ago.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Robert Conquest's "Harvest of Sorrow" noted that for each LETTER in his book 20 people died in the collectivazation famine. His book is 441 pages long.
