KERRY, THE COMMUNIST PARTY’S CHOICE, MUST REPUDIATE ENDORSEMENT, SAYS AMERIPAC

WASHINGTON, DC—Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, the likely Democratic presidential nominee this year, should reject the endorsement he has received from the Communist Party USA, the president of the American Political Action Committee (AMERIPAC) said today.

AMERIPAC President Alan Gottlieb said Americans, and especially veterans, “should be horrified that Sen. Kerry has been endorsed by the Communist Party.”

“John Kerry is widely known as the most liberal member of the Senate,” Gottlieb noted, “and even in her endorsement message, Communist PAC Chairman Joelle Fishman fawns that Kerry represents a ‘progressive coalition.’ Perhaps Kerry’s coalition might also like the support of the French Communists, the Taliban, Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party and other enemies of American values.

“The Communist Party USA has organized a ‘Push Bush Out the Door in 2004’ effort,” Gottlieb added. “They have also heaped praise on Democratic congressional candidate Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, Illinois Democratic Senate candidate Barack Obama, and South Carolina Democrat Inez Tenenbaum, also running for the U.S. Senate. If that’s the kind of political company Kerry wants to keep, he ought to be in a padded room, not the Oval Office.

“Kerry has made a big deal out of his service in Vietnam, fighting communists,” Gottlieb stated. “His campaign has repeatedly mentioned the Purple Hearts he received for combat wounds. Maybe those wounds were as superficial as Kerry’s devotion to American values seems to be, because so long as he allows that Communist Party endorsement to stand, he unintentionally telling every American voter just what he thinks about defending our Republic.

“We call on John Kerry to repudiate the Communist Party USA, and walk away from its endorsement,” Gottlieb concluded. “Otherwise, Americans will know that John Kerry’s vision of America has a hammer and sickle waving somewhere over the landscape.”

I have to howl at this story! LOL! :]] What a hoot! The Commies must really hate Bush! I can hardly blame them though! :]] I don't see why this action should be considered derogatory to Kerry. He has no control over who says what to the Press, just to get in the news, after all. Just another little tempest in a teapot. Not newsworthy. I think Kerry should ignore it.

I absolutely agree and I will second that "So what?" When Kerry

The first key to wisdom is constant and frequent questioning, for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth.  -

What is AMERIPAC?

Who is the Communist Party? Are they bringing back the cold war, or are they just out of touch with the 21st century. I guess they also overlooked the fact that Putin is endorsing Bush while restricting Russian freedoms.

Good grief, wake up! The Communist Party didn't just magically fall apart and disappear at the end of the Cold War. Here's one website...

http://www.cpusa.org/article/static/511/

Here are some quotes from it...


We base ourselves on Marxism-Leninism.

Communism isn’t dead! There is still a worldwide movement of Communists, who are active in the struggles in their own countries, who apply Marxism to their conditions and according to the history of their countries, and who organize international solidarity.

The Communist Party has been a consistent fighter for socialism.

The CPUSA was founded in 1919, most of its membership originally coming from the left wing of the Socialist Party.

Editing to add...If you go to a search engine and type in Communist Party, you'll be surprised at how many sites there are.

So it wouldn't bother you to vote the same way a Communist would? Stop and think about that.

The fact that Communists don't like President Bush is just one more reason I like him.

Faulty reactionary logic: "YIKES! Commies like Kerry so - gotta vote for Bush!" Are we in a time warp back to the 50s nasty McCarthyism, here? Get real. Sorry, but I'd vote for Scooby Doooo Doggie before I'd ever vote for Bush! Oh, gosh! I wonder if Scooby is a card carrying Commie, too? :=O

"Do you honestly believe that just because they endorsed Kerry, that when he's elected he will become a communist?" Of course not. But they do think alike on a lot of issues, and that's what I wanted people to realize.
