    FTA

    And why has their endorsement been so studiously ignored by our watchdog media?

    (Imagine if a similarly storied ultra-right lunatics had endorsed John McCain? Though, of course, there is no group like that on the right.)

    Still, won’t it be pleasant finally to have a President that the same hard-line Communists who supported Joseph Stalin can support?

    This is the kind of “unity” Mr. Obama will bring us.

      pc25:

      Big deal. Al-Qaeda has endorsed John McCain for President--ALSO "studiously ignored by our watchdog media."

      John Hagee, a similary storied ultra-right lunatic, HAS endorsed John McCain as well.

      Still, won't it be pleasant finally to have a President that the same hard-line terrorists who've gained so many converts and so much attention under BUSH can support?

          Heh. My dreams don't include John McCain winning the presidency.

          But if you thought I was dreaming that al-Qaeda endorsed McCain, check the link I posted below.

          The blogger you sited gets his news from Air America radio.
          When you have a bunch of lefties quoting each other as "news" sources, you get all kinds of new stuff.

            Spinward, I found that link at the top of huge search results on Google. There are many, many more.

            Google al-Qaeda endorsement U.S. election and see what you get.

              Don't tell that to Bill Cosby. It would give him another reason to like McCain.

                "BO makes Hillery look like a conservative."

                They are actually both corporatists, as is McCain. They are just talking different horsecrap to woo their respective support bases in an election year.

                After the election, we will remain in Iraq, gas will keep getting more expensive, working class people will continue to see their earnings erode and their savings evaporate.

                You can take that to the bank.

                    Nicely done. That's true. Neocons can only destroy. They are not creative types at all and have the imagination of a gnat.

                      Neocon (noun):

                      A neocon is a mythical beast that stands 40 feet tall, has green hair and teeth, and tramples villagers that are trying to sit peacefully in a circle smoking medical marijuana.

                      The neocon is evil to it's core and usually votes Republican because it reads from the bottom up and Republican falls under Democratic Socialist on most ballots. This, in-turn, makes Republicans evil by default.

                      Sadly most liberals have been reading their own press releases for so long that they have actually deluded themselves into believing in this mythical beast, so they have taken to hiding the marijuana in locations and items typically belonging to other people.

                        Thank you; too many good people here to ignore even though I think this new format sucks, but hey we can survive 8 years of shrub then all is possible.
                        Thanks again friend (that is if I can figure out how to add all my deleted friends) :-) :-) :-)

                          Hannibal, another voice of reason and civility. Welcome back and we think the prop is almost back as good as the old one. A few more fixes and I think we'll all be able to live with it.

                  I guess it's the same reason they ignored this endorsement. Think about it!

                  As a little intellectual exercise, PC25, why don't you give us a brief description of your take on Communism as a political philosophy. Why do you think it's so bad and, by extension, why we should all get the shivers because CPUSA endorses Obama over McCain? You seem to be an expert, I'd like to hear what you have to say.

                  On a related note, why wouldn't Al Qaada endorse McCain? As with Bush, he'd be the biggest, most successful recruiting tool they could ever ask for.

                    Communism always leads to a Dictatorship. It can not exist in a large group as pure communism because it is counter to human nature, and eventually the Government will have to come down on the people.

                    Show me any communist country you would want to live in.

                      Take the top two Communist entities by population:
                      USSR under Stalin. An estimated 30 million died at the hands of the State.
                      Under Mao an estimated 50 million people died at the hands of the Communists.
                      Need we go on?

                      Under communism the state owns everything.
                      When East Germany was freed, a huge problem was that there were no deeds to property becasue the state owned everything.

                      The childen of an East German friend were medical doctors, who worked if they wanted to, and were paid salaries.

                      The only people who were wealthy were the communist party leaders. They had the only cars, the only vacation houses, and could shop in special stores were the ordinary people could not see what they were buying.

                      Because it's just more guilt-by-association claptrap? Because candidates have no control over who endorses them? Because nobody really gives a rat's a$$ what communists think? Take your pick.

                        The CPUSA are a bunch of sad-sacks who endorse the Dems in every race and somehow think they are bringing the revolution.

                        Al Queda backs Bush/McCain.

                        I`ll take all two people in the communist party over AQ any day of the week. But then again I`m for America.

                          Sanity check, what's new? You wouldn't expect a group of folks like this to support big business and McBush do ya? No news here except for repugs making news out of nothing!
