Communists and Red Hand Clappers: a Report from the Progressive Rally

Since the Obama organization known as “Organizing for America” urged its supporters to attend the rally, this should prompt questions to the White House. But it’s doubtful the media will utter a peep.

Here are the facts: the CPUSA was an official “endorsing organization” and was given space to set up a literature table by the rally organizers. Indeed, a two-page official list of “One Nation March” organizations shows that it was given a highly coveted “reserved space.”

These officially-sanctioned groups also included the AFL-CIO and several left-wing labor unions; United for Peace and Justice, founded by veteran Marxist activist Leslie Cagan; Code Pink; the ANSWER Coalition, a front of the Party for Socialism and Liberation; the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC); the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism; Green for All, the group once associated with former White House official Van Jones; Democratic Socialists of America, which helped give Barack Obama his start in Illinois state politics; and the NAACP.

The special recognition accorded the CPUSA would be comparable to organizers of a Tea Party event or Glenn Beck’s August 28 “Restoring Honor” rally honoring the efforts of an extremist organization that almost everyone would view as beyond the pale. Nothing like that occurred, but this hasn’t stopped the liberal media from picking a few extremists out of various Tea Party events, as if they were somehow representative of the entire grass-roots movement. It is a dishonest tactic that the media and their progressive allies frequently use.

You might recall in the 1990s, when the Berlin Wall had fallen and the Soviet Union as we had known it was no more, the MSM mantra was that communism around the world was extinct. Of course, anyone with half a brain could see that the MSM were lying then, as China, Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam, for example, were still unabashedly communist states.

Turns out that the MSM objective in declaring communism dead was to get anti-communists to take their eyes off the ball, so as to aid the "revival" of communism in the West and in the US which we are seeing today. Seems that in an earlier era, those commies whom Cliff Kincaid met at the October 2 event would not be as overt as they are now.

The one nation rally was ORGANIZED by CPUSA.

And the NEA (Natl Edu Ass) participated.

They all felt the courage to out themselves thanks to Obama.

They already believe they won.

Some True Patriots believe it, too.

I was shocked to see pure socialism demonstrated at this rally. It's no longer hidden, it's right out there in our faces. People better wake up.
