I'm sure it is just a coincidence.

What makes you so sure of that?

Did you consider the fact that every major speaker at the convention invoked class warfare in their speeches? It sounded like a bunch of communist drivel.

I would like to know why you think it was "just a concidence".

Pramjockey,

I'm sure SamInTheSouth is perfectly capable of speaking for himself.

Actually, I was just looking at a tattoo parlor wall while a friend was getting a tat and it was only $6.00, so I said, what the hell.

Does it matter?

I had a teacher give me a red star sticker on a project in elementary school. S'pose she was trying to turn me into a Russian tank?

If you get enough red stars you just might be able to graduate from elementary school......some day.

Oh you sooo—not funny.

I can't believe this crap is still in "Breaking News in Politics."

I sense a bias keeping this fish wrap around any longer.

It seems like many Marxist nutjob communists and socialists are so dishonest or full of self deceit that they can't even admit that they are communist or socialist. They prefer to use ridiculously ambiguous terms like "progressive".

Why even bother responding then?

Besides, the best I've got is against the rules.

Are you intelligent enough to understand the political significance of the red star or not?

The Democratic National Convention was a major political rally viewed by millions of people, it was not a little schoolchild's fucking homework paper.

What do you think was the motivation for plastering the venue with gigantic red army stars?
