The RCP calls for the armed overthrow of the U.S. government...

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

He's gone from "Baghdad Jim" to "Bolshevik Jim".

Why does he hate his country so much?

Voters in Seattle who love McDermott: Would you mind voting for someone else next time around? Because the rest of us are tired of this jerk being inflicted on us. Thank you...thank you very much.

Because his party affiliation isn’t mentioned in the headline, I assume he’s a dem.
