ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, fighting for re-election against a centre-left coalition which includes the hard left, said today communists have a history of boiling babies.
"I have been accused many times of saying communists eat babies," he told a rally of his Forza Italia (Go Italy!) party.
"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.
"They say we look to the past too much, but they forget that in the opposition there are three parties who proudly call themselves communists."
Mr Berlusconi has often been accused of being obsessed with the "communist threat" in Italy, a country where during the Cold War the communist party was bigger than anywhere else in western Europe.
In the run-up to winning the 2001 election, Berlusconi said: "I can organise a conference in which I will prove communists have really eaten babies and done even worse things."
With the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union, most of the Italian Communist Party transformed itself into the Democrats of the Left, now Italy's main opposition party.
But smaller breakaway communist parties still exist.
The biggest, Communist Refoundation, is likely to poll 6-7 per cent of the vote at the April 9-10 election, opinion polls indicate. Another party, Italian Communists, may get up to three per cent.
Polls put the centre-left bloc, led by former European Commission President Romano Prodi, 4-5 percentage points ahead of Mr Berlusconi's centre-right.
You're absolutely right. The Communist candidate in the last election (Kerry) was for killing babies.
And the Communist candidate in the next will be exactly the same!
I don't know what to think Coleus.
I found some messages boards linked off of the Euthanasia Church group's site with recipes for cannibalism.
Young people are prefered. Younger the better.
So do the commies eat people? Fertilize?
They are doing something.
And I would like to go back to being clueless soccer mom now. (I've been saying that for a while though....and I'm still here)
there's a lot of bad news out there, sometimes it's just good to not go near it and take a week or so off.
Such statistics are always nebulous. The wide ranges in possible democide deaths as reported by Rummel is a good example.
I suppose proximate cause mattered little to those caught up in it.
Good for Berlusconi. The young are still ignorant of the glories of communism.
Abortion is worse than Communism. Believe it.
Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Pro-Life/Pro-Baby ping list...
Thanks for the ping!
thx.
O, I see.
There was a court case and all... those pics weren't fake... it's advantageous to someone to have a STATUS equal to FAKE....

On another note:
RED CHINA, RED USSR...
Why is the Democratic Party of the USA given the color BLUE?
Why are the Republicans in the USA given the color RED? Anyone know the origins of this color code scheme?
Socialist movements of all stripes are essentially death cults, with a national state as the essential 'Godhead'. The fate of the Chinese under Mao and the Reds was little different from life at Jonestown, Guyana.
Until they are seen as such, there is little hope of dissuading the sheeple from political propaganda illusions of government 'benefits'.
