Fake Communists on Tour in Boston

Hanoi Jane and Mr. Oil for Food bribe taker, UK politician, George Galloway will be touring the US in September. Little Green Footballs has the dates here.

We all know Jane's never ending support for communism, which began when she supported the commies in Vietnam. Galloway, likewise stated, "The worst day in my life was the day the Soviet Union fell." These two losers will team up together, beginning in Boston on September 13th. To call them losers, I suppose has to be an understatement. Communism, once the darling of all liberal ideologies, and once a threat to the world, is now, all but dead and abandoned. It's one of the biggest failures of the 20th century, but these guys are still yearning for the yesteryears of communism and all the goodies it once inflicted upon the world: murder and poverty.

But are they really communists or do they just talk a good game? Smells of hypocrisy to me. After all, Fonda has to have a net worth somewhere near a $ billion smackeroos, after her marriage to Ted Turner. Galloway, while a man of more modest means, also does pretty well for himself. Annual MP salary of 100,000 dollars, plus he receives a salary for writing a column approximating another 135,000 dollars. He has also twice sued newspapers for sums upwards of 150,000 dollars, and he owns two companies and two homes. Nothing wrong with any of this, except one thing - THIS ISN'T COMMUNISM! The only wealth-makers under communism were the elite people at the top: the murderers, and the abusers of the system. The other 99.9% of the population were dirt poor.

So let me get this straight. According to hypocrites like Fonda and Galloway - hey - communism is great for you and the rest of the world, but when it comes to actually living the ideology which they've long supported, this ragtag duo is nowhere to be found. Too busy living the high life.
