Right-wing news service associates Obama with Communist Party

It had to happen. The right-wing nuts are now associating Barack Obama with the Communist Party in order to alarm the sheep.

An article published yesterday on the right-wing news site OneNewsNow.com starts out with this provocative paragraph:
An anti-communist activist is not surprised that the Communist Party USA has written a glowing editorial about Barack Obama.
And it ends as follows:
The anti-communist activist says if the CPUSA is that happy with Obama, then clearly he is not someone who is willing to advance American interests anywhere -- and therefore should not be given the keys to the White House.
What?! Where is the logic there?

Especially when you consider that George W. Bush just returned from yet another trip to Communist China, where he and Chinese President Hu Jintao praised the "importance" and "constructiveness" of the U.S.-China relationship.

Double standard, anyone?

  1. Yes, there is a logical fallacy. It's called a Ad hominem attack and is just plain illogical:

    John McCain was held captive in a communist prisoner of war camp for 5 years
    his guard is a communist
    hist guard endorses John McCain

    therefore:
    John McCain is a Communist?

    Just plain silly, of course.
