Amid a wall of noise, some quiet voices- Columnist slams NY FREEP of Freaks

There actually were Bolsheviks at the march yesterday. More properly, there were Bush supporters who dressed as Bolsheviks. They had put together some brilliant signs, illustrated in Soviet realist style, showing John Kerry wielding a worker's hammer, depicting Marx, Lenin, Engels and Kerry in heroic profile. The signs were emblazoned "Communists for Kerry," and "The next generation building communism for America."

"We're just spoofing," one of the men told me. They'd linked up on Free Republic, the ultra-right-wing Internet site and, well, when these people link up, stuff like "Communists for Kerry" is one of their more polite ideas. They slipped into the march and nobody seemed to notice, object or recognize that they weren't actually communists and weren't actually for Kerry. Many of the signs yesterday said, "Bush Lied," but when his supporters do it, it still works.

"They'd linked up on Free Republic, the ultra-right-wing Internet site and, well, when these people link up, stuff like "Communists for Kerry" is one of their more polite ideas."

Yeah - just a snip from a "main-stream" "journalist" who thinks that CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC are in the center and always tell the truth. At least he did this in his column, and not in a news report, though that would be expected.

GOOD JOB NY FREEPERS! (and I hope that you all showered right after getting away from that crowd!)

[Billthedrill]

Communists For Kerry - one of the funniest parodies I've ever seen. Check out their site, but don't be drinking anything near the monitor...

[Perseverando]

Way to go Freepers! Bump!!!

[NavySEAL F-16]

They just don't have a sense of humor, do they?

Great job, Freepers.

[Steve_Stifler]

Pics!! Pics!! We demand visual confirmation of such daring!

[Choose Ye This Day]

"Shut up, you Bolshevik pinhead."

I like it. Can I get it on a T-shirt?

[Steel Wolf]

They slipped into the march and nobody seemed to notice, object or recognize that they weren't actually communists and weren't actually for Kerry.

THAT'S THE POINT.

Good luck going to a pro-Bush rally and holding up a 'Communists for Bush' sign with Stalin's smiling mug on it. (Fashion tip: Wear Kevlar. Lots of Kevlar.)

[L.N. Smithee]

Hey, isn't he from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, that left wing rag?

SHOVE IT!

Now we're "ultra-right-wing" eh?

Doesn't leave much room for improvement...

I prefer uber-ultra-super-mega-right-wing. I wish the lefties would get it right. ;)

[AzSteven]

Looks like you guys had a blast - would have loved to have seen that!

[ahadams2]

amazing how leftists (as exemplified by the nitwit columnist you quoted) don't recognize satire...I guess it requires more forebrain functions than they have to spare after walking and breathing are taken into consideration....

[ahadams2]

hey! you forgot 'heavily armed'! as in heavily-armed-uber-ultra-super-mega-right-wing.

Silly liberal, don't fuss. I'd be cranky too if my side had no sense of humor. I'd be even crakier if my side was a pack of unwashed, illiterate hippies chanting inane slogans and making vapid, witless signs with crayola markers.

[Focault's Pendulum]

The Contact Secret Police link made me fall off my chair.

I want reparations.

Dennis thinks the the DNC is a right wing organization.

[Billthedrill]

It wasn't me, but I wish that it had been... ;-)

[Bogolyubski]

Terrific job! A really well-done sendup. They look like the real ones.

[Ros42]

OMG, that's just hilarious!!!

[Brytani]

Only reparations? What about a purple heart?

Don't just get your mind right! Get your mind ultra-right!

[Michael.SF.]

They slipped into the march and nobody seemed to notice, object or recognize that they weren't actually communists and weren't actually for Kerry.

Perfect. These fools do not even know when they are being had.

[Focault's Pendulum]

Well...I do have a bruise on my elbow....I think I'd better write this up.

[dila813]

Freaking outstanding guys, where are the pics!!!!

[L.N. Smithee]

huh?

[dj_animal_2000]

...and I always wondered what I am when I write or hang out on here...

hmmm.....so I'm "ULTRA-RIGHT-WING".....

[Brytani]

Don't forget to re-enact your "battle wounds" with your trusty Super 8 camera - always a nice touch!!!

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Talk about a hit piece. Wow.

[risk]

So now we're ultra-right wing? We've sunk to new lows, just for defending our free enterprise Republic.

[DoughtyOne]

I wonder when the last time was that this paper described a left wing enterprise as ultra-left wing. One thing that I almost overlooked was that this vegetable made no bones about the fact that the protesters didn't notice these folks weren't for real. Like, why would they? Did this loon see the real signs?

They slipped into the march and nobody seemed to notice, object or recognize that they weren't actually communists and weren't actually for Kerry.

Now there's the real sin. They weren't actually communists for Kerry. Can God every forgive them. Perhaps so, but the Post Gazette won't.

[Prime Choice]

They'd linked up on Free Republic, the ultra-right-wing Internet site and, well, when these people link up, stuff like "Communists for Kerry" is one of their more polite ideas.

Wow...we're "ultra-right-wing"? Coulda fooled me.

'Course, to the jackwits in the radical Leftist media, I suppose we would look "ultra" right-wing...

[Prime Choice]

Well...I do have a bruise on my elbow....I think I'd better write this up.

That won't get you anywhere, son. You'll need a bandage for that. Here, try some of Johnny's!

[Mr. Keys]

I want to see some of the less polite ideas. Great job Freepers.

[VRWCer]

Hmmmmmm, I'm hanging my head in shame. Let's just hope the neighbors don't find out.

Don't think they are directly affiliated with FR, but are the Protest Warriors group.

[Porterville]

ultra-right-wing

Is that what normalcy has become?

[Michael.SF.]

ERW = extreme right wing.

I liked your original comment.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

Did you note the link to the conservative superstore?

[Michael.SF.]

My bad. My post 42 was meant for you.

[Squantos]

Yeah.....too funny ! A keeper for sure !

[TexanToTheCore]

bttt

[Nova]

Apparently "Communists for Kerry" is "Mainstream"

[Sonny M]

Whats scary to me is that this is supposed to be a parody, but the communist party is endorsing kerry and is supporting him.

Scary a parody that is actually being done, in real life.

[Syncro]

I think you are right.

It was the Protest Warriors.

They talk about it here with some pictures

[Waco]

Ted Turner or some other lib/dodo will charter cruise boats giving free fares to all those rich libs wanting to get away from the rest of us, forever is the catch. Imagine, these yokels leaving while illegals sneak in? Hilarious ain't it?
