Yes, isn't it amazing how Bush has managed to unite so many disparate groups against him? The closest thing I ever saw to unity among all people of the world was the day that 11 to 15 MILLION people all around the globe protested against warmongering Bush.
1. No, it wasn't a communist march. It was a protest against the policies of the Bush administration. I'm sure you already know that, but just making sure we're clear.
2. No, not everyone who marched loves Kerry. Mostly, we just find him less terrifying than Bush.
3. Don't you think that when half a million people from all walks of life are marching for causes as numerous and varied as women's rights, separation of church and state, war in Iraq, the fact that our country is currently being run by a few really, really rich businessmen who obviously have a lot to gain from said war, the rather shady circumstances under which said businessmen gained control of the country, the fact that these businessmen's friends are getting tax cuts, the fact that this administration supported writing discrimination into the constitution in order to keep a specific group of people from getting married, and I know there's a lot more that I'm missing at the moment - don't you think that when this happens it's time to consider what these people have to say instead of lumping them all together in a generalization of idealistic, anti-American hippie communists? Because that contention doesn't seem particularly well thought-out to me.

Cuba?
North Korea?
Vietnam?
These countries can't even feed themselves but they are spending millions to bankroll "communists" just to embarass the Republican Party?
I guess these are just some of the 54 MILLION "communists" who didn't vote for Bush in 2000.
So many traitors, such a tiny number of patriots.
We live in interesting times.
