69. This is a sad day for "progressives" around the world. Our heros are spinning in their graves ... Stalin: spinning. Pol Pot: spinning. Karl Marx: spinning. The evil capatalist pigs, enthralled by their oil money dictators have staged a "Hollywood" production, wherein poor, oppressed Iraqi ciizens, corrupted by the evil American Dollar, have been paid to defile one of the great socialist leaders in the world.
But we are not fooled by this American propaganda effort. The Iraqi people LOVED Saddam, as we love Saddam and all our heros: Stalin, Marx, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Castro. Viva La Revolucion!!! Death to the capatalist Pigs!!! Vote for Al Gore!!!
