You got that one right.........It seems the "Left" will just keep shooting themselves in the foot............May be if they had a plan............................
But they usually can't agree on who gets the money.....And "Liberals" are every bit about money as anyone....Look at the "Leaders of their movement.
Sure don't see any poor folks gearing up for the Big White House......
We are all a part of the same hypocrisy.....Maybe we who are not on the left
realize that.

Yes, McCarthyism is alive and well. Rove resurrected it. We should all be praising the trillion dollars wasted on Iraq that we and our children will inherit while Bushie retires to his 98,000 acres in oil rich Venezuela.

Yes, haven't you seen the oppressive effects and the mass suffering people are undergoing for logging onto the internet and getting in chat wars? We all know this is the fault of Bush and his big internet buddies...

You must have posted this reference to "Brown Shirts" to educate those not in the know correct? For those who don't know look up "Brown Shirts" and read about this era in the history of the world.......Of course you are not making a serious reference to the current administration.

Are there really people in the US who do not know about the Brown Shirts ? I thought all kids went to school.

You CAN have Communist sympathies in America. BUT you also have to be EXPOSED so that when they try to indoctrinate people with Commie beliefs, people will be aware that Johnny Depp is a Commie.

All one has to do is to look at Bush and his administration to see just that.
A lot of Liberals try to say "McCarthiesm" was all paranoia, but let's REALLY look at how Communists were inflitrating the US media, Universities, and Washington DC.

Media: We have Bob Sheifer, Dan Rather.... all from the McCarthy era and all Communist sympathisers.

Universities: There was a survey recently done thaty 9 out 10 college professors are left-wing extremists. One recent example of ex-UC porfessor Ward Churchill. This guy calls victims of 9/11 "Nazis"... how much more Commie do you wnat to go??

Washington DC: we have Ted Kennedy (a self-proclaimed quasi-Communist), Nancy Pelosi (a de facto Commie), Hillary (a quasi-Socialist), Chuck Schummer (a quasi-Facist Commie type), Harry Reid (clearly a Commie)... just some examples.

So really was McCarthy wrong when he said "Communists are infiltrating the US government and media"? I guess not.

That is funny! People here are OK with Communists speaking out, BUT if the American Communists had their way, would anyone have any freedoms???

So if you like Communism and support it, is it not true that you do NOT support freedom???

As long as the info is out there, he can say wahetever he wants. But if he is influenciating people with Communist ideas, he needs to be exposed and not pretent he is some pro-freedom guy. After all Communism is tyranny.

So why do people LIKE tyranny???

Are you not afraid of Communism? If the US was Communist, would this board even exist?? You'd be going to jail for posting anything that would go against what the government is doing. Check out Communist China where even Yahoo helped the government arrest anyone who said anything the gov't did not like.

When was the last time Johnny Depp's opinion about anything actually had any remote impact on anyone's life, aside from Johnny Depp and his family?
Anyone in favor of Moore and Depp moving to Cuba say "aye".

Being called names is VERY American, whether you are a neocon reichthuglikkan wingnut or an anti-american socialist tree hugging moonbat.
It is shocking how people this day and age after seeing what Communism does all over the world can support Communism. That goes to show you the level of indoctrination that America's kids receive in public schools.

Anything Hollyweird can do to try to smear America is on the table.

I will make a guarantee that there WILL BE an Osama Bin Laden T-Shirt out in a few years that the 'moral authorities' in LA will be wearing, under the guise that he tried to protect jihadists from Americans trying to kill them.

However, I will give Johnny Depp credit that he moved to Europe. Good for him.
I would not be surprised.

But you know what surprises me?? How ignorant Johnny Depp is. Does he even know who Che Guevara is?? Does he know Che executed or ordered executed 14,000 Cubans and oppressed, tortured, and jailed thousands more???

Thank you for your post Marine. Thank you for your service to America! We thank you.

I am sorry you are serving our country while a moron like Johnny Depp wears a picture of an anti-freedom guy like Che Guevara!!

Good one Mooseketeer - school in the US doesn't teach students much aside from what to expect once they get behind bars, and that if they get a college degree, they can get in higher than the others and earn a decent living working for a corporation.

By the way, my German-born former boss made a point of explaining why on a certain date he was wearing a brown shirt (it happened to be the fuhrer's birthday, and it was to show his solidarity). He explained that Adolf was 'misunderstood' and that many Germans still honor him for all the 'good' he did for them. Needless to say I found another job.

If you get and can watch The Tonight Show/Jay Leno in the UK, then the segment called "Jaywalking" is a good illustration of what you will find in the US. Once, when asked what the capital city of the US is, an actual American answered "Las Vegas".

Spirit

would I say there is a parallel with the brown shirts of the 1930's and the current administration? I feel you can figure that one out yourself....
