[MD] Speaking of fear campaigns

[Platt wrote]
Run, run, run for your lives. The fascists are coming, the fascists are  coming.
Quick. Get out of Amerika before it's too late. The country is about to open
concentration camps and start gassing Marx-loving  intellectuals. Oh, the
horror. Never mind that Marx and his fellow travelers were responsible for
terror, torture, famine and massacres -- 25 million slaughtered in Russia, 65
million in China, 1.7 million in Cambodia, and on and on. No, no. We have
nothing to fear from Marxist thinkers. They love everybody (except
conservatives) and have heaps of  compassion for the weak, the poor, the losers
in life's lottery. All they want is fairness, and if it takes murdering
millions to attain such a worthy goal, well, so be it. No, no. There's nothing
to fear from the left. The  real threat out there (besides global warming of
course) is Bush and his fellow fascists. So run, run. You don't want to end up
as a bar of soap, do you? But that's what those fascist neocons have in mind
for you. Fear-mongering ? Perish the thought. Because our motives are pure, we
leftists cannot possibly be accused of participating in a campaign of fear.

Quick. Get out of Amerussia before it't too late. The country is about to open
gulags and start imprisoning Rand-loving conservatives. Oh, the horror. Never
mind that fascists were responsible for the terror, torture and massacres
across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and South America. No, no. We have
nothing to fear from Fascist thinkers. They love everybody (except liberals)
and have heaps of compassion for the strong, the rich and the winners in life's
lottery. All they want is fairness, and if it takes murdering millions to
attain such a worthy goal, well, so be it. There's nothing to fear from the
right. The real threat out there (besides terrorist who "hate us for our
freedom", of course) is Clinton and her fellow Marxists. So run, run. You don't
want to end up as a propertyless slave in Russia, do you? But that's what those
evil Marxists have in mind for you. Fear mongering? Perish the thought. Because
our motives are pure, we rightists cannot possibly be accused of participating
in a campaign of fear.

When you are able to see the idiocy of BOTH of the these, Platt, let me know.
Until then, be a Happy Party Jester, and tell us how the ONLY threat is from
those evil, blacktoothed liberal professors and their vast conspiracy to ban
conservative purehearts in the Academy, or whatever the Party Line of the Day
is.
