In Michigan, Americans for Prosperity is going as far as it can with the conservative claim that President Barack Obama is a communist.

An advertisement (pictured above) for a State of the Union watch party in Michigan sponsored by AFP features Obama with the Kremlin in the background. The ad reads "Thank You, Comrade Obama: for Saving the Children from the menace of guns, family, liberty, work, and other outdated values."

The ad seems to be a play off of an communist advertisement featuring Joseph Stalin.

The ad includes a link to thepeoplescube.com, a website trying to poke fun at "progressive liberals."
