60 minutes ran a piece this Sunday that can only be described as flat out propaganda. It’s nothing new for the network though, they’ve been substituting fabrications for hard hitting news pieces for decades. I guess that this type of, “reporting,” is what Juan Williams had in mind when he told Michelle Malkin that she was only a blogger, and therefore not worthy of being taken seriously for anything that she wrote.
For the anti – Semites out there who are hiding their hatred of Jews under the cloak of, “anti – Zionism,” here is a helpful video explaining how to do your next boycott of the Jewish State correctly.

Ah yes…SeeBS!
The last video was good, but very hard to understand what he was saying as the music was too loud.
It has come to this…again.
BERLIN (Reuters) — Two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, some eastern Germans are once again carrying round images of Karl Marx — if only in their pockets.
The disappearance of communist former East Germany has not deterred them from using credit cards emblazoned with the image of the man who foretold the end of capitalism and the triumph of communism.
More than a third of customers at Sparkasse bank in Chemnitz opted for the picture of a bronze bust of the bearded 19th century German-born philosopher, bank spokesman Roger Wirtz said.
Marx’s stern face is depicted gazing towards the logo of Mastercard.
Before the fall of the Berlin Wall, citizens of Chemnitz — then known as Karl-Marx-Stadt — and the rest of East Germany would have seen Marx’s face on their 100-Mark banknotes.
Flattened during World War Two, Chemnitz was rebuilt as a model socialist city and still boasts a seven meter-tall bust of Marx in its center. The city has been economically depressed since the end of communism and its population has shrunk by 20 percent. . . .
A 2008 survey found 52 percent of eastern Germans believed the free market economy was “unsuitable” and 43 percent said they wanted socialism back.

Didn’t Gates say STFU??? Yet he continues.
The disclosure comes at a time when the administration is fighting off accusations that it deliberately leaked classified information about its national security efforts for political gain. Recent reports revealed the administration’s decision-making process in targeting terrorists for missile strikes, a U.S. cyber attack against an Iranian nuclear facility, and a mole inside al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula who helped thwart a bomb plot intended to strike an airliner headed for the United States.

@ Lily:
Imagine Marx’s face on an American Express card. Then it really would be what Yakov Smirnoff joked about for years:
“Russian Express…Don’t Leave Home.”

For any citizen of a country where 52% voted to bring socialism in, that statistic should be… heartening.
@ Macker:
Don’t you know it. Germany again thinking it is the Master (Race) Card??????

Yep. History repeating itself just in a different guise?
@ Lily:
What’s happened is a lot of Ossies left eastern Germany for western Germany, leaving the older generations behind. Those generations see the big influx of Turks (Islam) in their midst. One of the reasons why they want to see a return to the DDR style of border control as far as immigration is concerned. Regarding free market economy and socialism, they like (as far as my relatives are concerned) what they have now.
Karl Marx on the 100Mark DDR bought nothing back then because there wasn’t really anything to buy. Aluminum slugs for coins too.
Now the Linke (former communist party) want to go all the way. As my cousins would say, “Pfui, zum kotzen mit die Linke”

The Chemnitz Sparkasse Master Card with the Karl Marx Bust was the result of an ONLINE vote for a regional identifying image on the card.
The voting was between TEN different motifs.
Schloss Waldenburg -- Waldenburg Palace
Rennstrecke Sachsenring -- Saxony Racetrack
Karl-Marx-Monument -- Karl Marx Monument
Schloss Forderglauchau -- Forderglauchau Palace
Wasserschloss Klaffenbach -- Klaffenbach Castle with moat
Stadthalle Chemnitz -- Chemnitz City Auditorium
Burg Rabenstein Chemnitz -- Rabenstein Castle
Rote Turm Chemnitz -- Red Gate Tower
Alte Rathaus Chemnitz -- Old City Hall
Industriemuseum Chemnitz -- Museum of Industry
With a lot of ‘Melonenpartei’ votes online, naturally Marx got the nod. That term is the ‘Watermellon Party’ which is the Green Party with the communist party on the inside coalition.
There is a bit of irony in the card though. Karl Marx is FORCED to look at the free market Master Card logo.

Sorry about the duplicating comments.
Really strange.
It seemed to have hung up on my link to the MC picture on one of my web servers.
