OPs4 God Bless America!
The corrected headline:
U.S. Communists are the Democrats
The far Left, however, understands it very well.
I'm more worried about Jehadis and Enviros than about a bunch of old farts who sit around being nostalgic for Stalin. They don't even write their own material any more.
Indeed. Lee is...
A Disgrace to the House

Representative Barbara Lee, Democrat of Berkeley, was the only member of Congress who refused to defend her country under attack. The Los Angeles Times calls Barbara Lee a "liberal" and compares her to "anti-war" dissenters of the past ...Barbara Lee is not an anti-war activist, she is an anti-American communist who supports America's enemies and has actively collaborated with them in their wars against this nation.
I met Barbara Lee when she was working in city politics in Oakland. I met her in the penthouse headquarters of Huey Newton, the infamous "Minister of Defense" for the Black Panther Party. Newton was a left-wing gangster at war with America and Barbara Lee was his undercover agent in local government.
Barbara Lee later became a staffer in the office of Democrat congressman Ron Dellums. In this capacity she committed an act of betrayal that I am unable to describe as treason only because she was never prosecuted for it. At the time, Ron Dellums was the head of the House Sub-committee on Military Installations. In this capacity, he had top security clearance and carried on a one-man campaign to thwart the foreign policy of the United States in regard to the Communist dictatorship of Grenada.
U.S. security officials had identified the Communist dictatorship as a threat because of the presence of large numbers of Soviet bloc advisers and their ongoing construction of an airport that could be used for Soviet military planes. As the ranking Democrat member of the House Armed Services Committee, Dellums went to Grenada to conduct his own fact-finding tour. On his return he testified before the House Subcommittee on Inter-American Affairs that "based on my personal observations, discussion and analysis of the new international airport under construction in Grenada, it is my conclusion that this project is specifically now and has always been for the purpose of economic development and is not for military use…. It is my thought that it is absurd, patronizing and totally unwarranted for the United States Government to charge that this airport poses a military threat to the United States' national security."
What legislators did not know at the time, was that Dellums had previously submitted his report on the airport to the Communist dictator of Grenada for his prior approval, and subject to any changes he or his military advisers chose to make. In other words Dellums acted as an agent of the Communist enemy in abetting his hostile designs against the United States. His emissary in this act of betrayal was Barbara Lee. We know this from government documents retrieved by US marines after Grenada was liberated by U.S. forces...

Lee's friendly relations with Cuba date back even further. In 1979, while on Dellums' staff, she traveled to Havana to attend a conference of "non-aligned nations," a Cold War euphemism for countries aligned with the Soviet Union. She attended the conference not as an employee of the federal government, which she was, but rather claiming to be a journalist for the left-wing alternative San Francisco paper, the Sun-Reporter.
The San Francisco paper Lee represented in Cuba was edited at the time by the late Carlton Goodlett. On April 22, 1970, Goodlett received the Lenin Peace Prize in Moscow. It was quite an affair – attended by Leonid Brezhnev and other party notables. The date marked Lenin's 100th birthday.
Until 1956, the Lenin Prize was called the Stalin Stipend. The name was changed only after Nikita Khruschev denounced mass murderer Josef Stalin at the 20th Party Congress in Moscow. It was not just an honorary award for promoting the cause of world Communism and Soviet hegemony. The prize was established in 1928 as the socialist rival to the Nobel Prize and paid its recipients amounts ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles.
When Goodlett returned with his cash, he proceeded to file as a candidate for governor of California in that year's election. He also bankrolled the first big election bids of former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown and Dellums.
In October 1997, a Freedom of Information Act request was filed with the FBI. It sought information about Goodlett, particularly with respect to the Lenin Prize and about his backing of Dellums. A few weeks later, Dellums surprised virtually everyone on Capitol Hill, throughout his district and across the nation by resigning in the middle of his two-year term.

Dellums was first elected in 1970 as the candidate of the Black Panthers, who sought to start a race war in the U.S. "I have attempted to aid the Black Panthers whenever I could," he said later, adding that "the attack on the Panthers is tantamount to Fascism." ...As a member of Congress, he demanded that U.S. officers be tried for "war crimes" in Vietnam, and he wrote tributes to the U.S. Communist Party newspaper. According to Joshua Muravchik in The New Republic magazine, Dellums in 1975 "was a featured speaker at a conference called Counterspy '75," organized by a magazine that specialized in exposing CIA agents, at least one of whom was subsequently assassinated.
Dellums was a professed admirer of Generalissimo Fidel Castro, whose Communist militia rules Cuba. "Mr. Castro is a brilliant man with a visionary look at the world," Dellums wrote following a 1977 trip to Cuba.
When Sandy Pollack, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party USA, died in a plane crash in Cuba, Fidel Castro laid a wreath on her grave and Dellums eulogized her. "Sandy Pollack accomplished ... much more than most who shared her vision of a better and more just tomorrow for all," declared Dellums.
Dellums was a sponsor of the Communist World Youth Festival in Havana in 1978 and the 1985 sequel in Moscow. He also sponsored the founding meeting of the National Defense Organization (Against Racist and Political Repression), whose co-"chair person" was Angela Davis, later the vice presidential candidate of the Communist Party USA. ...
In 1980, Farid Handal visited the United States. Handal was the brother of the general secretary of El Salvador's Communist Party, and was himself an official of the FMLN (the Communist militia group that murdered U.S. Marines in El Salvador). According to Handal's diary -- captured when government forces raided a militia safehouse in El Salvador -- Dellums worked with Maurice Jackson, head of the Washington, D.C. branch of the Communist Party, in arranging for Handal to address the Congressional Black Caucus. "... (T)he offices of Congressman Dellums were converted into our offices. Everything was done there. The meeting with the Black Caucus took place in the liver of the monster -- nothing less than the meeting room of the foreign relations committee." ...
Democrats in Congress later named Dellums to the House Committee on Intelligence, overseer of the CIA. Rep. Newt Gingrich, GA, then the Republican whip, expressed concern: "If foreign agencies come to the conclusion that ... their most secret analysis and their most secret sources might be leaked -- it doesn't have to be true, they just have to be afraid of it -- then it has a very chilling effect on our capacity to gather data." House Speaker Tom Foley, D-WA, ridiculed Gingrich, calling his remarks "offensive." When another congressman suggested that committee members take an oath of secrecy, one of them -- Bill Richardson, D-NM, now Bill Clinton's UN ambassador -- complained that "Republicans are being totally political about a non-issue."
