In a surprise move, the CPUSA (Communist Party USA) has announced a lawsuit against the Democratic Party and its leadership for the alleged theft of intellectual property. The plaintiffs claim that the entire so-called "new" Democratic agenda is, in fact, the product of a decades-long, painstaking campaign by CPUSA theorists, agitators, and underground subversive cells - which makes it the intellectual property of the Communist Party USA, protected by American copyright laws. "They stole our entire platform, rebranded it 'progressive', and claimed it as their own," declared a CPUSA spokesperson at a press conference in San Francisco. "And we communists say, not so fast! Not in this country anyway, where we still have property rights and the rule of law, thank God! Actually, let me rephrase that..."

"It's just like taking someone else's hard-earned income and redistributing it! ... Never mind, bad example... It's like infiltrating a respectable organization and taking over its management while engaging in subversive propaganda and the rewriting of history... Whoops, bad example again... It's like being devoid of moral standards and rejecting all the norms and values of Judeo-Christian civilization... No, that was totally inappropriate. Scratch that...
"It's time we got our fair share of credit from the current administration. As a gesture of good will, we would be pleased to accept the credit in the form of stimulus checks, subsidies, and loan guarantees for our members. If not now, when?"
CPUSA lawyers presented documents to the press showing that the Democratic platform of 2010, almost-line-for-line, reiterates the CPUSA platform of 1963. As the lead attorney for the plaintiffs pointed out, even a casual reading shows that while the rhetoric occasionally varies, the underlying policies are nearly identical.
"If the public knew that all the Democrat ideas are ours, we'd have more high-paying jobs in the Obama administration," remarked the CPUSA spokesperson. "While all our members can't be czars, we should at least get royalties. We can't survive on government handouts alone, not yet anyway."
This announcement seems to overturn past communist policy favoring the liquidation of czars and royalty.
The Democratic National Committee has declined to issue an official comment on the lawsuit, but a high-ranking White House official stated privately that this development is the result of an historically inevitable "convergence of opposites" - a philosophical concept outlined by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels - whereby the American public catches up with the glorious promise of communism, while the CPUSA becomes so American that it becomes embroiled in litigation. "Don't quote me on this," he added, "but Barack and I believe we can easily reconcile whatever minor differences we have with the CPUSA, and work together to prepare Americans for the final march, in well-organized and neat columns, towards our radiant progressive future."
So, you're goin' after John Semmens customers now, fish?
Durn free market competition.
I thought Commies didn’t believe in property rights.
:)
This is satire right?
Does it REALLY need an “/s” tag?:)
Commies believe in properly left.
good satire is based on reality
Almost. This is 0bama’s Bizarro America, after all.
I would have suggested the ACLU as the Plaintiff's attorneys (pro bono of course).
That’s funny. Instead of suing, they should be celebrating success in achieving one of their stated goals, “Infiltrate and dominate one of the major American political parties.”
Maybe the DC Statehood Greens should sue the Democrats for removing DC Statehood from their platform.
I’d laugh but I’m crying
Not to mention Obama's whole family was part of the communist party USA
Yeah, right? And how are the Commies going to pay the legal fee’s? Doesn’t that mean that someone among the Commies has to go and *gasp,horror* work and exploit some proletarian shlub some how to get money from said shlub to pay the lawyer? What’s an anti-capitalist, anti-American, cosmopolitan dilettante of a Communist to do?
This is satire... right?
...Based on reality.:)
Satire?
These headlines from the website seem typical of MSNBC:
“White House releases new exciting photos of Obama standing, sitting, looking thoughtful, and even breathing in and out
White House: when President shoots skeet, he donates the meat to food banks that feed the middle class”
