Actually "useful idiot" is a Communist term. We conservatives didn't coin it; we're applying it *as it was defined by the Communists themselves*.

This leftie knows it to be true, so he's doing what he can--deflect attention by accusing his political opponents of something heinous.

They do this all the time when they're wrong and they know it.

We should continue using the term "useful idiots", it has gained legs in the press and is humbling to the left.

Red Dupes would also work but "Useful Idiots" does better to identify the aid and comfort that they provide Americas (non-communist) enemies.

The left is getting outraged that protestors are being labeled communists but they are doing nothing to discredit the level of communist backing in the antiwar movement.

They've been had and used as pawns in a larger political game and they aren't happy about it but as always, the left cannot admit that they were wrong.
