Obama, Lenin and bannon.

If you Google Obama and Lenin you get many results comparing Obama to Lenin. A few years ago the right did not seem to care much for Lenin. This billboard by some teabaggers in Iowa shows just how much they hate Russia. BTW the line at the bottom of this billboard is a very good description of the current commie-in-chief. Bannon is a huge fanboy of Lenin. I suppose when the teabaggers and other right wing nut jobs learn about bannon and his love affair of Lenin, they will be very upset and put up many anti bannon billboards. This would be the patriotic thing to do.

1. The Obama/Lenin comparisons were by people willing to dis Obama

no matter how irrelevant or false and/or by those who don't know Lenin from Lennon. Ignorance and belligerence has worked out well for the RW.

2. Bannon isn't a commie. He's a right-winger.

The idea that he's a Leninist seems to spring from an off-the-cuff comment he made a few years ago to a Daily Beast writer. He claimed to be a Leninist, because he wanted to "destroy the state." Of course, wanting to destroy the state doesn't really make one a Leninist, and if there's any other evidence that Bannon is a Lenin fanboy, I haven't seen it.

Bannon is fucking scary. But not because of any real connection to Lenin.
