Communists!

* Dan Proft’s Prairie State Wire…

An election guide posted on the Communist Party USA’s (CPUSA) website said that the party is “deploying its resources” to unseat U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.), as part of a larger effort to flip 24 Republican seats the Democrats need to capture control of the House.

“A plan for staff travel is being worked out with each district (it considers a close race),” the party’s Sept. 20 posting said. […]

Political analyst Chris Robling said that the Communists and other fringe groups in American society have absorbed the message of the Democratic Party, one that’s no longer resonating with a broad national base.

“The Democrats are incapable of appealing to a majority of voters outside the major urban areas,” Robling said. “That’s why the over the past recent elections they lost the presidency, the House and Senate, governorships and state legislatures.”

“They are reaching out to groups, including criminal illegal aliens, that are rightfully marginalized, “ he added. “Don’t underestimate their willingness to do anything for what they perceive as the greater good.”

The linked “election guide” doesn’t actually say which Illinois districts those dastardly commies are trying to flip.

Robling, by the way, predicted two years ago that Donald Trump’s candidacy could help Sen. Mark Kirk and Comptroller Leslie Munger in the suburbs and even in Chicago. Both lost. Trump lost every collar county but one.

1. Robling, have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?

2. Also, 1955 called. It wants its Red Scare back.

3. Funny, I swear it’s the Republicans who are sucking up to the Kremlin these days.

4. Mr. Robling sounds a lot less like a “political analyst” and more like a blatant partisan who has absolutely nothing correct to say about Democratic ideology. Democrats don’t appeal to a majority of voters outside urban areas because those voters rightfully feel like the modern Democratic Party’s neoliberal, incrementalist approach doesn’t do anything for them like its progressive approach did from 1935-1975.

5. Robling will shill for whomever pays his kid’s college tuition. How is he taken seriously at this point?

6. Well, we already have actual Nazis this time, so come on in…

   Comment by Ron Burgundy Wednesday, Oct 24, 18 @ 2:14 pm

7. Oh no! The Communist Party is going to deploy the full force of its resources on behalf of the Democrats! Expect to see DOZENS of dollars spent in this key districts over the next few days…

9. This is getting serious people. The commies have already started to infiltrate the right.

11. Where’s a pinko when you need ‘em? Oh wait, I know a card carrying member of the communist party.

12. From Robling’s facebook page, posted Oct 20th…

    “Amara Enyia is great people!
    Could be Chi’s next great mayor!!”

    This guy’s all over the place!

13. I think I deploy more ‘resources’ during a trip to Menards than the CPUSA is going to deploy in Illinois.

14. Does WGN Radio still have the bit on Monday nights where a Democratic operative half-heartedly makes a factual point, Chris Robling responds by calling their mother a streetwalker, and both sides share a hearty laugh because the consequences of politics will never directly affect either of them?

    That was great stuff. Nearly sent my car into a ditch a couple of times in a blinding rage. Should have gotten College of DuPage to sponsor it.

15. If you think that’s scary, I heard that Mike Bost is going to rally with a self avowed nationalist

    Comment by Driving and posting Wednesday, Oct 24, 18 @ 2:42 pm

16. I dunno if Robling is the voice of his generation, I’d suspect Edward R. Murrow taking that title, but for that generation, Robling has to be in that Murrow team picture…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Oct 24, 18 @ 2:49 pm

17. Glad to see Robling has made it back into mainstream. Maybe if Communists had a sugar momma who could pay for their kids tuition to Georgetown like Chris had, folks wouldn’t have to vote out bad politicians.

19. Rich, I noted your ridicule at the post and assumed that you were correct in pointing out another false story.
    But the facts show otherwise. You can look it up for yourself.

20. “Communists and other fringe groups in American society have absorbed the message of the Democratic Party”

    Lol, nuts. Communists hate the corporatist Democratic Party. Ask Hillary/Shillary. Some people are so gullible, and Trump/GOP/pundits know their marks real well. Feed them their ignorant fears and hatreds and get huge tax cuts for billionaires, ending regulations, big military spending, etc.

21. Communists??? Really??? Even Jesse White thinks that gag has whiskers.

    Comment by Benniefly2 Wednesday, Oct 24, 18 @ 3:01 pm

22. Chris Robling - I’m disappointed. In the past you were sensible and thoughtful.

26. Robling. Stopped reading once I read his name.

    Comment by Flat Bed Ford Wednesday, Oct 24, 18 @ 3:13 pm

27. I think we all owe Rep. Sillicorn an apology for ridiculing him for his prescient warnings of the need to defend ourselves against a Red Dawn style attack.

    Comment by Henry Francis Wednesday, Oct 24, 18 @ 3:14 pm

28. Did these clowns actually read the voting guide. The only Illinois district they mentioned that has a possibility to be flipped is Il-2. No that’s not a mistake on my part - It says Il-2. I assume it’s a typo for Il-2, but if they want to flip Il-2 more power to them.
    The Prairie State Wire writing about Il-6 is nowhere in the guide and is probably a figment of McCarthy’s er… 0I mean Prairie State’s imagination.

    Comment by train111 Wednesday, Oct 24, 18 @ 3:29 pm

29. Well, I’ve been hearing about Nazis for a while.
    We now have Commies getting into the game.

    Are Hippies next?

30. Robling is best buddies with Proft and Peraika does anything else need to be said.
    I remember once standing outside a Greek restaurant years back and having a smoke with JBT. It was a meeting for the Cook GOP and Robling walked up. He talked to her for 5 minuets then went inside. She turned to the two of us and said what a ass that guy is. Geez I miss that woman she was the best

    Comment by Long Time R Wednesday, Oct 24, 18 @ 3:49 pm

31. Long Time R —

    You just made me think — I’d pay quite a lot of money to see the expression on JBT’s face while watching the “unholy union” ad….

34. “Does WGN Radio still have the bit on Monday nights where a Democratic operative half-heartedly makes a factual point, Chris Robling responds by calling their mother a streetwalker, and both sides share a hearty laugh because the consequences of politics will never directly affect either of them?”

    Nah. The host got a different gig. But I heard that segment a few times and it sounded like Robling spent most of the time filibustering so the D guy didn’t get a word in edgewise. But yea, Robling is a piece of work.

    BTW, love the comments above, especially Soccermom’s, “Oh no! The Communist Party is going to deploy the full force of its resources on behalf of the Democrats! Expect to see DOZENS of dollars spent in this key districts over the next few days…” and 47’s “Also, 1955 called. It wants its Red Scare back.”

35. I stopped reading at Dan Proft.

    81% of Americans live in urban areas.

37. Then there is the Real Communists over in China trying to take over the world one continent at a time. Start in northern Africa see how they dominate the financial markets and manufacturing.. this has been going on for the better part of the last decade… Now back to your locally sponsored programing.

38. Robbling is to political analysis as Rauner is to passing budgets

39. Unfortunately there are many misinformed and disingenuous people who are going to believe and buy into this BS.

    Comment by XDNR Wednesday, Oct 24, 18 @ 8:01 pm

40. Rich, my post didn’t make the cut, but I still intend to ™ “Roy Cohn Lookalike Proft.”

    If I find out later you’re printing t-shirts with it, I will have no choice but to lawyer up with Louis Atsaves and bring the thunder.

    The thunder, dude. The thunder.

    You’ve been warned.
