It is beyond imagination that anyone could misconstrue the Soviet agitprop in Jay Carney's kitchen as an indication that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and his wife somehow share the same ideas as the perpetrators of a brutal regime that starved its own citizens while the political elites lived in luxury, abused power, prosecuted the opposition, and ruled the country by means of executive orders.

Next, they would claim that that a neat stack of Chairman Mao's Little Red Books in Valery Jarrett's bathroom is not there merely to serve as an elegant accent to complement the shower curtains; or that the Black Panther Party insignia on Michelle Obama's pajamas isn't merely a bold decorative pattern; or that the black flag of holy Jihad in Huma Abedin's bedroom is somehow indicative of her sympathies towards the Muslim Brotherhood.

Following such flawed right-wing logic, one might even speculate that Saul Alinsky's books on Hillary Clinton's living room mean anything other than an effort to disguise an obscure dried spot that had mysteriously appeared on the coffee table in the last year of her husband's presidency.

Wow, did you write that??

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Nope, but I've laugh a lot. Do you like it?

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

I am not familiar with any news story about Carney's Soviet agitprop.

What is your source? Where is this from?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Possibly, if her name is Oleg Atbashian.

The original source appears to be "The People's Cube (http://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog/the-real-meaning-of-soviet-agitprop-in-jay-carney-s-kitchen-t13853.html)" and or "Pyjamas Media", neither of which is "some women's magazine". And, really, wow, that site is so, uh, something. Let's put it this way: It makes Pyjamas Media look rational and well-written.

I'll take your word for it. I'm afraid to click such a strange link.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Thanks for doing the legwork on the source. Nice to see someone values credibility.

I definitely don't like Dennis Miller's newer work.

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

He admitted that fear made him into an asshole in the post 9/11 environment.

whut?

[malasadas.livejournal.com]

You're like the greatest hits of 2009, aren't you?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Actually more like 80-s. What's your point? Do you have anything against white people?

"I thought it was funny" <--- worst defense ever.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Who is defending anything?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

An interesting observation: nobody said anything about Carney having Soviet posters in his kitchen. Wait, there was one person surprised.

[cinnamontoast.livejournal.com]

Because having that shit in your house is only scary to really stupid people. To other, normal people it's historical propaganda art from the middle of the last century. It's not even worth commenting on when you have two brain cells to rub together.

[mylaptopisevil.livejournal.com]

Because no one sane believes it is secret messaging that shows he is a communist plant (or the idea that communism is evil).

I used to have a calendar from the Mutter Museum. That didn't make me a necrophiliac.

OMG WHAT IS IN HIS BEDROOM DRAWERS?

That cat is adorable. It's also perfect for this thread.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

I thought it's not allowed to delete comments. Maybe 2 sets of rules depending who you are?

Sure. And you'd be saying the same thing if a Republican Press Sec had framed pictures of Nathan Bedford Forrest in his house, right?

The picture would be in the house of Democratic Press Sec, right? Wasn't Forrest a democrat?

Did you report this to the mods or did you just make a comment here about it?
