Oh yes they could, and not only that, they have been since about 1920.
When did D.P. Heinbold fall off of the turnip truck?
"Build Unity to Take Back Our Country in 2004!: Defeat Bush and the Ultra Right!
by Joelle Fishman, Chair, Political Action Committee, CPUSA, 31.01.2004 00:00
The 2004 election is a turning point that will make history one way or the other. The backdrop is the mighty battle being waged by right-wing capitalist interests for hegemony over all the world's resources, markets and labor. The shocking disparity between wealth and poverty worldwide, and the never-ending search for new sources of profit, set the stage for sharp conflict."
This is on the home page of the CPUSA. Obviously, we missed something, if they "want THEIR country back" I assume this means that at some point they had it. Was this under the Clinton administration?
Please peek at this and see if you think your Ping Lists would be interested in it?
Letter from Communist Party USA...
" The CPUSA supports the John Kerry campaign with donations and volunteer effort. We believe that defeating George Bush is the single most important issue this November ..."
Can the Communist Party support the Democrat Party officially? What happens to limits on donations to a "party"?
Ahhh, but the Socialist and Communist Parties are not bound by the same FEC regulations as the rest of us. They've had special status for years and don't have to report where they get their funding from or who they give it to... it's to prevent their donors from getting abused because of their party affiliation which would supposedly stifle their freedom of speech.
It's a crock and it's challenged in court again every few years but they have a slew of lawyers and it gets upheld every time.
Just about fell off my chair when I found out about it...

This is a massively bad way to word this.
Langston Hughes was a communist, but many of his poems were not at all political. What is relevant is that "let America be America again" is from a Communist poem, not a Communist poet.
And Kerry can't claim ignorance on the subject, he wrote a foreword to a book of Langston Hughes poetry.
in regard to the comment about viacom and mtv.. you got it backwards.. mtv doesnt own viacom.. viacom owns mtv and vh1, nickelodeon. just to name a few. mtv just happens to be the flagship of all their networks but viacom is the parent company of mtv not the other way around.
The US far-right definately does not support Bush. From what I've seen, he's considered a "pawn of the Jews".
