Dissent: An ad in The New York Times this week shows that the Christmas debate is about more than political correctness. It's part of a campaign to remove religious impediments to the left's secular agenda.
Taken out by a group calling itself World Can't Wait (WCW), the ad was ostensibly an anti-capitalist and anti-war tome opposing the war on terror and the liberation on Iraq. In the process it managed to lay the blame at the feet of those it called "home-grown Christian fascists."
You'd think "fascists and religious fanatics" would have been a phrase reserved for the regime of Saddam Hussein and those who park car bombs that kill children. But WCW applies the term to members of the Bush administration, charging that the U.S. government "is moving each day closer to a theocracy where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule."
The list of signatories to the WCW ad read like a loony left hall of fame. It included Jane Fonda, from the People's Republic of Hollywood, who once said, "If you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would some day become communist." The irony of praying for communism apparently escaped Barbarella.
Also on the list are such notables as Cindy Sheehan who, despite her son's willing and noble sacrifice, once said, "This country is not worth dying for." Then there was Ward Churchill, the nutty professor from Colorado who called the dead of 9-11 "little Eichmanns," and Mumia Abu-Jamal, poster child for cop killers and counted as one of America's "political prisoners."
WCW, as Fox News pundit Bill O'Reilly notes, was founded in part by the Revolutionary Communist Party.

Let me guess. Was Ted Rall's name on the list?
What a bunch of fascist bunch of idiots!!! If they hate here so much why don't they leave. I can't stand these people who think they enlightened. They shouldn't call themselves progressive anymore. I don't think it is very progressive to take more money from the people. That reminds me of the very British tyranny that our forefathers fought against.
I would guess that Mike Farrell's name is not on this. I doubt that he could afford his part of the fee, not having much in the way of acting fees coming in nowadays.
...they hate those who oppose their grab for more power!
Why is it we never hear of these people buying vacation homes in Cuba?
