Communist Party slams Allen West
Politico ^ | April 11, 2012 | DARIUS DIXON

A top official of the Communist Party USA on Wednesday ripped Rep. Allen West’s “sad ploy” for claiming that as many as 80 Democratic members of the House are communists.

“I just think it’s an absurd way to cast a shadow over his colleagues. It’s kind of a sad ploy,” Libero Della Piana, a vice-chairman of the national Communist Party, said of the Florida Republican’s charge that about 80 House Democrats were members of the radical party.

“It’s just guilt by association taken to an extreme,” he told POLITICO. He also said there are no members of Congress who are members of the Communist Party – not even avowed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

They’re so bad that even the Commies won’t claim them.

Even the Communists don’t want to be compared to the DemonRATS?

All joking aside, Allen West is 50% right.

I would have said 100%.

I don’t know any DemonRATS that aren’t communists.

The good Colonel has had to listen to the blather of the reds in the cloakrooms in the capitol building, and is probably is fed up with hearing the nonsense.

I thought the SDP caucus which was founded by both the communist and socialist usa parties recently outed at least 70 members of their caucus.

LOL Communist Party USA, why don’t these a-holes move to Venezuela to see what REAL Communism looks like. They talk the talk here, but if they moved to a real Commie country they would come back here and kiss the ground

Shouldn’t they be pleased with West’s remark?

I think the Communist Party USA is really upset that Col. West UNDER-estimated the number of communists in Congress.

The actual number is probably much higher.

Communist Party slams Allen West

Could there be a better endorsement of West? I don't think so!

West for VP!

“Shouldn’t they be pleased with West’s remark?”

You would think, but then again, the Marxist RATs in Congress are so bad at their jobs, my guess is that they have disappointed even the Comunists!

I'm sure Politico is right, there are no commies in Congress.

There aren't any in Hollywood either, and never have been.

The fact they even responded to West's statements speaks volumes......'denial' is the first defense for the guilty.

if a congress member voted in favor of obozo care and by that vote alone makes it pretty clear they fall within the communist mind set. So what’s the different between having a communist mind set and actully being a communist? Nothing!
