Useful idiots...
I know Glenny does not realize this either... but that is very much a MARXIST LENINIST term. The RIGHT is adopting the lingo to tar and feather us... and it is funny shit. I doubt they have chosen to use the language of revolution just because they found it at wikipedia, and this time I doubt Luntz has anything to do with it.
I will have to sleep on it. but twice today I have heard a right winger use the language of the Communist Party...

Did you say something, useful idiot?

Hey, Nobrainzezki, Vladmir Lenin used the term 'useful idiot' to describe idiots who foolishly believe they are an ally of communism, when in fact they are held in contempt by the communists they support. In other words, you and your fellow progressives.

Even RandomThoughts thinks she's grasping at straws.

1. Comrade are you sure about that?
Although I don't think it is about left and right, there are many issues of consolidations that are creating problems.
And I never read any Marx books, but I could probably quote him if I wanted to. :D
If she only had a brain...

Yep, that's the original origin of the term.
One wonders how it got by Nadine.

Might I suggest, in part, the ability of Wikipedia (the collective intelligence vessel for leftists and other c&p specialists) to be heavily edited thus guarding against actual facts being distributed among the masses. It does seem to be a common failing among those on the left to rely heavily on Wiki as pure fact brought down from on high; but, it is often merely a cornucopia of unsubstantiated opinion and mis-information disguised as fact.

Reading nadin brzshnskzyz makes me realize I miss Nance Greggs. At least she had an excuse for posting unintelligible crap.

The useful idiots don't ever seem to realize that shortly after being useful idiots they become useless idiots and are exterminated.

I like that.^5

Probably just blended in with the crowd of all the other facts, thoughts, perspectives, and historical data that were bypassing her at the time...

That's totally sig worthy!

Exactly! I refuse to use the crap at all! I don't consider a site that anyone and his brother can edit if he doesn't like what is posted, to be much of a repository for truth or facts.

The rotund, but not jolly, Ms. Abbott is so far off base, she caused DUmmy RandomThoughts to forget about his beer and travel money, which is still due.

Even by the standards of DU, his/hers/its stupidity really stands out. He/she/it is on fast track to become Primitive of 2011.

Wyle E. Nadin, sooooooooooooper genius.
Beck uses the term correctly and exactly as Lenin did.
