| Revolutionary Clowns in New Zealand and the USA | |
| 2005-10-20 | |
| We wish we were making this up, but in New Zealand there is a movement of antiwar leftists calling themselves the "Revolutionary Clowns". They get dressed up in clown outfits when they try to make the world safe for Bolshevism and to show their solidarity with al-Qaeda. Revolutionary Clowns took to the streets of Wellington, NZ to "raise awareness" of the upcoming weapons conference being hosted at Te Papa Tongarewa "Our Place" on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 18 and 19, in New Zealand. The Defence Industry Association is holding its annual conference there. The conference is an opportunity for NZ manufacturers to better market their products to overseas militaries. It is interesting to note that you do not have to go all the way to New Zealand to discover revolutionary clowns. The Bay Area has produced its own neofascist "revolutionary clown" in the form of "Justin" Raimondo. Raimondo's prior claim to infamy was his 9/11 Anti-Israel conspiracy theory detailed in his silly little book, The Terror Enigma: 9/11 and the Israeli Connection. He also has lamented Japan's defeat in the Pacific and has a nasty habit of rooting for an American failure in Iraq. This cryto-fascist also has the nerve to call himself "antiwar." What a clown.Now an entire new web site has been set up to maket "Justin Raimondo Clownware". The Justin Clownware site offers various products, such as shirts, aprons, pajamas, mugs, and bibs, all with images of Raimondo dressed up as a clown. My personal favorite is here. I think the producers should consider some products with Raimondo dressed up like The Fonz and doing his Fonz-like "Hey!" routine before the crowds along the Castro.

| #2 Only a clown could have written dreck like this: August 8, 2001 HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR Why Americans are barbarians The idea that America is, in any sense, a civilized country is easily dispelled by the orgy of self-congratulation and rationalization that accompanies the dual anniversaries of Harry Truman's decision to atom bomb the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Want your gorge to rise? Check out the New York Post editorial "The Bomb That Saved Millions," (August 6) which justifies the bombings as a "military necessity." The editorial opines that "few at the time questioned President Harry S. Truman's wisdom in using the devastating new weapon, but revisionist historians and political activists maintain now – more than a half-century later – that the atomic bombing of Japan was militarily unnecessary and morally unacceptable." The Post is New York City's most popular newspaper – a place where the official standard of morality is closer to the Code of Lek than the Ten Commandants. So why are we not surprised that the Post finds all this appalling? |
