I agree with Waldo Jaquith, this is “from the ‘WTF’ department.”
[Robert Hurt for Congress “strategist” Chris] LaCivita said that Hurt will not pledge, as Perriello has, to reject contributions from lobbyists or corporate PACs. Hurt will promise, he added, to not take money from “communists…”
OK, then; right here, right now, I will pledge that Blue Virginia will not accept any money from Maoists, Stalinists, Trotskyites, Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Hoxhaites, Titoites, Castroites, Juchists, Communists or Anarcho-Communists. Now, will Republicans pledge that they will not accept money from Fascists, Neo-Fascists, National Socialists, Neo-Nazis, National Frontists, Hellenic Frontists, or Northern Leaguists? Deal? 🙂
