Commies Gone Wild
John Hinderaker at Power Line posts about the leftist protesters in Argentina at the Fourth Summit of the Americas. The summit provided the protesters with a wonderful opportunity to show the world their approach to fighting poverty: smashing and burning things.
Commie Day!
Check out Scott Johnson's post at Power Line about the rally at the University of Minnesota organized by Socialist Alternative and attended by metro area high school students. James Walsh of the Star Tribune reported on the demonstration, especially the high school student aspect of the story, here. The key sentence:
The followup piece by Katherine Kersten that Mr. Johnson discusses ("Students should take another look at antiwar rally") can be found here. Ms. Kersten's reporting puts the spotlight on the organizers of a rally such as this, which is where it should be from the moment these events are announced.
If you follow the above link to the Socialist Alternative website, you will find this gem:
Yeah, give them another chance. They promise to not kill so many people this time.
Then there's this:
Just like the DPRK!
Also, don't miss their Venezuela revolution and counter revolution link.
Organized by Youth Against War and Racism and the larger Socialist Alternative, the rally began at Coffman before weaving through campus and stopping traffic along several blocks of Washington Avenue before ending up in front of the Army and Navy recruiting offices on Washington at Oak Street.

We believe the dictatorships that existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were perversions of what socialism is really about.
Yeah, give them another chance. They promise to not kill so many people this time.
Then there's this:
We are for democratic socialism where people will have control over their daily lives.
Just like the DPRK!
Also, don't miss their Venezuela revolution and counter revolution link.
Capitalism was so Last Week
Here are columns about two members of the Commie Hall of Fame (via RealClearPolitics):
Mao's 70 million by Ralph R. Reiland
Che Guevara should be scorned - not worn by Ryan Clancy
Yes, these mass murderers are actually idolized by some. This paragraph from Mr. Clancy's column sums up Guevara and works just as well for Mao:
Communist tyrants kill around 100 million people (and counting) and still there are those who don't get it; Commies aren't cool.

What then are we to make of Che Guevara? Che apologists insist he fought "for the people." But when it came to the basics of helping "the people," such as not killing them, he was less than stellar.
