The Muppets are Communist tools used to brainwash our children

Post by Snooz »

I really hope this is a joke. I was laughing through most of it when the "expert" discussed how the Muppets are being used by the communists in Hollywood to train children to hate corporate America while clips of the movie showed scenes of puppets dancing in the street. Even The Onion couldn't have come up with something this ridiculous.

Speaking as a practising communist, I'm surprised you find it improbable. What's so unlikely about it? Hollywood hosts communist sympathizers, did you pay no attention to Senator McCarthy? Why should you think they no longer exist?

Check the script of the Muppet Treasure Island too if you need convincing. As a parody of Corporate America, the lyrics to Professional Pirate would take some beating.

These good Americans must really hate JR Ewing then, he was the epitome of an evil oil baron.

Apologies, Snooze...off topic...

Spot, could you explain more about being a practising communist, perhaps in another thread? I'm interested in knowing more.

I think those are the same guys that say Billy Graham isn't a Christian.

Anyone miss Ted Koppel's interview with Brian Williams last night?

Ted Koppel: As U.S. Withdraws From Iraq, Questions Remain About American Presence (VIDEO)

Nine years ago, the veteran reporter was embedded with troops as the War in Iraq began. Since then, 4,500 troops have died. Some 32,000 were wounded, many gravely. And the U.S. has spent $1 trillion to fight insurgents and bring down Saddam Hussein


$1 trillion dollars...Does anyone else have trouble bringing that amount of money into perspective? All for oil...

I will say that the government's anti-communist agenda as a means to romanticize capitalism for the benefit of the wealthy that manipulate this country has more than succeeded...

And anyone willing to vote Newt Gingrich into office needs to be imprisoned
