New - Faux Posts Communists for Kerry quote(It's a Repug Group)
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,134268,00.html

"We're trying to get Comrade Kerry elected and get that capitalist enabler George Bush out of office," said 17-year-old Komoselutes Rob of Communists for Kerry.

"Even though he, too, is a capitalist, he supports my socialist values more than President Bush," Rob said, before assuring FOXNews.com that his organization was not a parody group. When asked his thoughts on Washington's policy toward Communist holdout North Korea, Rob said: "The North Koreans are my comrades to a point, and I'm sure they support Comrade Kerry, too."

It is unclear whether the Kerry campaign has welcomed the Communists' endorsement.

All Fox had to do was click on the "About" link:


"Communists for Kerry" is a campaign of the Hellgate Republican Club, a tax exempt non-partisan public advocacy "527" organization that exists for the purpose of;

"Informing voters with satire and irony, how political candidates make decisions based on the failed social economic principles of socialism that punish the individual by preventing them from becoming their dream through proven ideas of entrepreneurship and freedom."

Our members help elect candidates who support economic growth through Entrepreneurship, limited government and lower taxes. Communists For Kerry is separate and distinct from the Communist party of America and any of its organization. None of it's members are members of any communist organizations.

Were incapable of clicking on the link. They were too busy masturbating themselves and each other, in celebration of finding this "story".

My ghod. How many idiotic gaffes to they get a pass on, before their contemporaries go in for the kill?

9. This is beyond belief
Fox didn't learn their lesson yesterday? Or do they want people to think that Carl Cameron's "accident" yesterday was no mere accident, comrades? (That's a Soviet allusion.)

You'd think after yesterday that Fox would bend over backwards to be fair to Kerry now, lest people start to realize how slanted and partisan they are. And then this happens? Yikes.

What is Fox News up to? Yesterday, they erroneously posted a false story about Kerry talking about his manicure at a campaign stop. Today, they post a story about Kerry getting support from Communists for Kerry which, with negligible effort, they would have noticed is a Republican 527.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,134268,00.html

When asked his thoughts on Washington's policy toward Communist holdout North Korea, Rob said: "The North Koreans are my comrades to a point, and I'm sure they support Comrade Kerry, too."
