Red-baiting

Communists, socialists and Marxists are sick of "unfair media attacks, stereotyping and vicious slander" they have suffered in the wake of America's first Marxist president. If experience is any indication, People's Weeksly World is giving the rest of us a look at the next social category to be sheltered from richly deserved mockery.

The communist newspaper provided a link to an online petition titled, "Communists are people, too," asking the news media to end the "hate speech" against communists, socialists and Marxists.

"Our simple request is that you as beneficiaries of our ratings put an end to unfair media attacks, stereotyping and vicious slander against us, your audience," the petition states.

Would not want to hurt any delicate feelings.

Does anybody else bridle when the cyrillic alphabet is cludged in such fashion?

Yeah, the D as A, etc. I know what you mean. Still, it makes the point.
