still seeing commies everywhere!

Inside the Mind of John Tierney
Another red-baiting chickenhawk. You'd think that modern conservatives would come up with a few new tricks. I guess they're too stupid.

Tierney, of the Institute of World Politics, identified five groups: ANSWER, Not in Our Name, Code Pink, United for Peace and Justice, and MoveOn.org. He said these groups "come from the Workers World Party" and are an "umbrella" for smaller groups, such as the "Communist Party of Kansas City" and the "Socialist Revolutionary Movement of the Upper Mississippi." Of the last two, he said, "I'm just making these up."

Tierney singled out Sheehan, whose son died in Iraq and who camped out at President Bush's ranch this month to protest the war. "I've never heard of a woman protesting a war in front of a leader's home in my life," he said. "I've never heard of anything quite so outrageous."

Tierney must have led a rather sheltered life.

Looks like Operation Yellow Elephant has a new target: Young Tierney!:

The author said he has "grave, grave problems with the conduct of the operation in Iraq" and wouldn't want to see his 20-year-old son go there. But he said it is "automatic" that anybody who joins a protest by one of the offending groups is supporting communists.


(Atrios)
Supporting communists by protesting a war based on lies that has had disasterous consequences for us, Iraq and the world! These people's views are so skewed that it is impossible for a rational person to understand where they are coming from!
And regardless of the fact that his son shouldn't go there, he thinks that if other people's sons don't go to die there, then they are communist sympathizers!
Whew!
