Boston | Dear Comrade ...

Earlier I posted the post-speech spin email sent by the DNC to folks on their mailing list, when opens with this:

Dear Friend,

What a remarkable day today is going to be. You and I are going to have the great pleasure of watching John Kerry stand before America and lay out his plans for leading our country in a new, more promising direction.

Then I see this in the comments, posted by KH:

That’s pretty scary… it reads like something Chariman Mao would sign…

Dear Comrade,

What a remarkable day today is going to be. You and I are going to have the great pleasure of watching our Glorious Chairman stand before our heroic workers and lay out his plans for leading our great nation in a new, more promising direction.

I laughed out loud . Nothing against Edwards or Kerry here, but the email does have a sort of soviet-propoganda feel, no?

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
