    FTA

    And why has their endorsement been so studiously ignored by our watchdog media?

    (Imagine if a similarly storied ultra-right lunatics had endorsed John McCain? Though, of course, there is no group like that on the right.)

    Still, won’t it be pleasant finally to have a President that the same hard-line Communists who supported Joseph Stalin can support?

    This is the kind of “unity” Mr. Obama will bring us.

      "And why has their endorsement been so studiously ignored by our watchdog media?"

      Perhaps because they aren't as chickensh!t and desparate for attention as you are. If you find it such a big deal, why not call Fox News and ask them. Let us know what they tell you.

      pc25:

      Big deal. Al-Qaeda has endorsed John McCain for President--ALSO "studiously ignored by our watchdog media."

      John Hagee, a similary storied ultra-right lunatic, HAS endorsed John McCain as well.

      Still, won't it be pleasant finally to have a President that the same hard-line terrorists who've gained so many converts and so much attention under BUSH can support?

      I guess it's the same reason they ignored this endorsement. Think about it!

      As a little intellectual exercise, PC25, why don't you give us a brief description of your take on Communism as a political philosophy. Why do you think it's so bad and, by extension, why we should all get the shivers because CPUSA endorses Obama over McCain? You seem to be an expert, I'd like to hear what you have to say.

      On a related note, why wouldn't Al Qaada endorse McCain? As with Bush, he'd be the biggest, most successful recruiting tool they could ever ask for.

      Because it's just more guilt-by-association claptrap? Because candidates have no control over who endorses them? Because nobody really gives a rat's a$$ what communists think? Take your pick.

      No such group on the right? Gimme a break! Skinheads, neo-nazis, mercenaries, secret militias, swiftboaters, etc. They are all as bad or worse and of course they are for McCain!

        Al Queda backs Bush/McCain.

        I`ll take all two people in the communist party over AQ any day of the week. But then again I`m for America.

                  Do you even know the definition of communism? Look at the word. It starts with COMMUN(E). It is like the Amish still practice. Share cropping, etc. The society shares it's goods with each other. One guy grows potatos, another corn. They bring everything to the town market and everybody shares. THAT is the definition of communism. If you had a brain cell, you would know this.

                  Communism became a perverted and misused word when referring to the old Soviet Union. They had a totalitarian government.

                Well, the communist party is a member of the left. So, logically, they would support the member with the views closest to theirs even though there is a HUGE difference between Obama's views and those of the average Communist. It would not make sense for the communist party to support McCain, whose views are those of the right.

                  and logically the fascists support McCain because he is closer to their position.

                  But since AQ also supports McCain and they are actually a danger to our nation as witnessed by 3,000 dead on 9/11 and the 4,000 plus dead in Bush`s War in Iraq, I would say McCain has some explaining to do.

                  Well duh! Did anyone of the "Obama supporters" know that there was a Che Guevara flag in his campaign headquarters in Huston Texas?!

                  Oh wait, no, they didn't know, they were too busy standing in front of their full length mirrors admiring how cool they looked in their new "Obama Hope" t-shirts.

                  SHIT GUYS!

                      Seriously, dude. You might want to look up some biographical information on Che Guevara. You're at a computer--it's an easy Google.

                      Che was born in 1928. He was 5 years old when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, 10 when Hitler annexed the Sudetenland, and 11 when WWII started.

                      A Che flag put up by a low-level staffer in her office is hardly a 'smoking gun'. Most people don't even know what Che was all about beyond looking cool on a t-shirt.
