The Farmer down below notes the VRWC's curiously quaint obsession with trying to tie the Heinz Foundation to support of EEEvil COMMIES in Cuba.

Now we have another case of a Republican getting all atwitter, nearly collapsing from the vapors, because his opponent (again in Pennsylvania, what's with it with this hotbed of radicalism?) has TIES to, you guessed it, EEEvil COMMIES!

(via Philly Inquirer)

[State House Speaker John] Perzel yesterday called for his opponent in November to "sever his ties with the Communist Party."

In a news release, Perzel, a Republican from Northeast Philadelphia, said "samples of Kearney literature [were] featured prominently on the Communist Party's Internet home page."

On the home page of the Communist Party of Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware, there is a link to a Kearney campaign fund-raising letter. However, Kearney's name is misspelled on the link.

Perzel called on [PA] Gov. Rendell [also a Dem, which is practically the same thing as RED a we all know!] to "denounce" Kearney for "his ties to the Communist Party" and asked voters to reject Kearney's "politics of extremism."

Kearney acknowledged that he is not now, nor has he ever been, a member of the Communist Party. He also said he did not know about the Internet link until a reporter called him. He added that the fund-raising letter was written in November.

"My guess is that someone from the Communist Party put it on their Web site," he said.

Rendell's response to Perzel's charge was: "I'm stunned. I thought the Communist Party was totally defunct."

Yeah, that's what those pinkos always say! They want you to graze, sheeplike, while they pollute your precious bodily fluids!

Kearney said that he had "no problem" with the link and that "some of the most active and progressive citizens of Northeast Philadelphia, Germantown, Mount Airy, Center City and West Philadelphia" belong to the local Communist Party.

The House speaker "is sensitive to my campaign portraying him as a failed leader... . Mr. Perzel is grasping at old ghosts from the 1950s because he realizes he is in a close and difficult race against a progressive and new candidate, just like Mark Chilutti in 2000," Kearney said.

Chilutti, a Democratic newcomer, lost by 92 votes to Perzel four years ago.

They're everywhere, I tell you! Defenders of Truth, Justice and the American Way should take notes of all messages received on your dental fillings about this fiend and transmit same to Perzel's office.
