Go protest, but know who is using you (Chairman Mao wants you Nov.2?)

Do you regret having missed Chairman Mao's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of the late '60s? Would you really not mind seeing a few million of your fellow Americans sent off to re-education camps for indoctrination in the evils of capitalism?

Then mark your calendars for high noon Nov. 2. That's when the Chairman's disciples plan to start their latest cultural revolution, right here in Public Square, among other places.

Not under that name, of course. Words like "proletarian" don't roll trippingly off American tongues.

But other words increasingly do. Words like "torture," "theocracy," "outrageous lies" and "illegitimate war."...

1. this guy sounds like a reactionary

"beware the commies" doesn't hold much weight with me especially
when its coming from someone that looks like a classic commie anyway:

4. These are things I just don't understand...

to post something thats intentions are inflamatory. To draw attention to an insignificant person's degredation of another human being, and his attempt to slime all associations with said person. And, this is a supposed democratic site? How small is the box that one has to fit oneself in here?

6. Talkin John Birch Paranoid Blues

<snip> I wus lookin' high an' low for them Reds everywhere,
I wus lookin' in the sink an' underneath the chair.
I looked way up my chimney hole,
I even looked deep inside my toilet bowl.
They got away . . .

Well, I wus sittin' home alone an' started to sweat,
Figured they wus in my T.V. set.
Peeked behind the picture frame,
Got a shock from my feet, hittin' right up in the brain.
Them Reds caused it!
I know they did . . . them hard-core ones. <snip>
