Help me debunk.....Kerry & Communist Party
The following was sent to me by a former student...a real superstar who married another great kid whose dad just happens to be a fundie Christian pastor. They are both flaming liberals and SMART, but they get hammered with shit like this daily....

Sent to a former student of mine....
GUESS WHO'S ENDORSING JOHN KERRY????

The Communist Party of The United States of America, CPUSA, is publicly supporting the election of John Kerry.

No, this is not a typo...you read it correctly. The CPUSA has made available on its Web site, http://www.cpusa.org/, an advertisement entitled Top Ten Reasons To Defeat Bush. This advertisement can be downloaded. The communist party urges readers to place this ad in local newspapers throughout the country to defeat President Bush.

Remarkably, the "Top Ten Reasons" of the Communist party are identical to those of the Democratic Party; out-sourcing, homosexual rights, abortion and the like.
At first, it was thought that "this was only a coincidence." The Democratic party of the United States couldn't be in lock step with the Marxists! So, the originator of this email wrote to a spokesman of the CPUSA in Georgia and here is part of the spokesman's letter: "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."

Next, it was discovered that one of Kerry's campaign themes is "Let America be America Again." This slogan was borrowed from a Communist poet, Langston Hughes. This is not common knowledge to the average American. "Let America be America Again" sounds good but is a rambling, gloomy poem.

Then, if this was not convincing enough that the Democratic Party has lost it, a third discovery!

A Vietnam vet group took a trip to Communist Hanoi to investigate a report that John Kerry was in the "Hanoi Hall of Fame." Yes, there is a museum in Hanoi with a section dedicated to foreign activists who help defeat the United States Military in Vietnam. Of course, you would expect Jane Fonda's picture to be there. But, alas, there is John Kerry's picture shaking the hand of a communist official. Never has there been such a tragedy! Never has there been
such a threat to America! Has the Democratic party has been taken over by the far, far left?

It's not only the communists but also the homosexual activists who are appalled that George Bush is married to a woman! They are enraged that the President wants a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage between a man and woman.
Then we have the ACLU running to a federal activist judge with every piece of legislation that doesn't fit into their leftist agenda. They support every Democratic socialist whim. The removal of the Ten Commandments is their top priority!


My response to the first part is simply...GWAss has run up fantastic deficits that are primarily funded by China....Ironically, our democracy is being funded by the world's only remaining communist superpower. The rest of it loony Kool Aid, anyway...

2. I never respond to freeper bullshit, but...
You could let them know Langston Hughes was not a communist. Hughes appreciated the apparent lack of racism in the Soviet Union when he accepted an offer to go to Moscow to do a documentary. He had an interest in communism as a thinker and as a black man.

Langston Hughes wrote inspirational stuff during WWII for the American troops and his work is credited with helping troop morale.

3. If you want to define a candidate or party
based on the radical groups that support them.. guess who's most likely to be supported by Neo-Nazi groups ?

Frankly, I'd prefer the one backed by the Commies.

4. Kerry's picture in N Viet museum
is more BS from the Smearboaters. The picture in question (the caption for which is deliberately made unreadable in the Smearboat book) is of Kerry with the American delegation that went to Vietnam long after the war ended for info on POWs & discussions about normalizing relations. Nothing to do with protests or communist sympathizing... instead, a patriotic attempt to help American families find out the fate of missing loved ones.

7. Well, Kerry doesn't have control over who votes for him
And the KKK is a southern organization that tends to be conservative. Guess who they're likely voting for?

Hmm... American Communist Party or the KKK? I'll take the commies, thanks. The communists never amounted to much in this country anyways.

12. CPUSA always endorses dems.
They are worried about workers rights and they complain about Bush's treatment of unions and workers. The Langston Hughes thing is irrelevant even if it is true.

WE WANT BUSH TO WIN

The statement said it supported U.S. President George W. Bush in his reelection campaign, and would prefer him to win in November rather than the Democratic candidate John Kerry, as it was not possible to find a leader "more foolish than you (Bush), who deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom."

In comments addressed to Bush, the group said:

"Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the Arab and Muslim nation as civilisation."

"Because of this we desire you (Bush) to be elected."

The group said its cells were ready for another attack and time was running out for allies of the United States.

"Whose turn is it next? Will it be Japan or America, or Italy, Britain or Oslo or Australia?" the statement said, adding Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were also targets.

The group is named after Muhammed Atef, also known as Abu Hafs, a close bin Laden aide killed in the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan.

14. OK all three.
Edited on Mon Sep-13-04 10:56 PM by LoZoccolo
1. Yes, they support our stance over the Republican's, us being further to the left than Republicans, and there being only two choices. So? I could probably dig up a bunch of racists and fascists and KKK members that say Bush* is closer to them than John Kerry, but the best it'd do is lead to a stalemate that we all know is already there because the original argument is stupid.
2. This is not common knowledge to the average American. Then they admit it's not a big deal because it doesn't mean shit about communism to the average American. Next.
3. Yes, there is a museum in Hanoi with a section dedicated to foreign activists who help defeat the United States Military in Vietnam. I bet there's a few pictures of Hitler in some museums here. But yes, I imagine some people there appreciate the people here that stopped us from shooting at them. Just a guess, though.

Let's take a look at some of this way enthusiastic support that Kerry gets from CPUSA:

In my experience, aside from right wing talk show hosts and their loyal listeners, few people believe that Kerry is a candidate of the left and progressive movement. Most know that he is closely tied to the U.S. ruling class and a defender of capitalism, as is Bush.

That common class affiliation and fondness for the "free enterprise" system, however, doesn't prevent millions of voters from understanding that Kerry is a political centrist and espouses different policies than Bush.

Oh fucken A man, looks like he's in lockstep with their agenda, what with being a "centrist" and a "defender of capitalism". :eyes:
