A disgusting bunch of agitators in the form of students who have done nothing of any value are keeping the strife at max as much as possible. Problem is that our Justice Department is in bed with them. You know, democracy, and all that?

As Banjojack is not online, I will have to deal with your phraseology.

Explain how they are "USEFUL IDIOTS" It seems either the whole phrase is an oxymoron or one of the two words, ie. "USEFUL" may be an error.

Maybe I should have worded it differently:
One of the most beneficial tools in the dem/prog arsenal - USEFUL IDIOTS!

"In political jargon, useful idiot is a pejorative term for people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they do not understand, and who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause."

Students who are being used by organizations like SEIU, ACORN (oh yeah they still are around) and any of the other organizations that get funding from Soros are darned sure idiots. Since they organize all kinds of protests all over the place they are surely idiots so useful idiots fits them pretty well.

I picked up the term, "useful idiots" reading about what the Communists of the 20s and 30s said about the students of that time. Also, when I was about 19 I read many places where students are all easy for users to use since they are all fresh away from the control of their parents.

I delivered what I thought was an outstanding speech to a speech class in 1952 and found those kids completely taken in. The speech was to be a heckling speech so I was sure the topic would get heckled all over the place. Nope, not one word from those wide eyed western Kansas college students. The topic I selected was an attempt to convince them that communism was the way to go. I ended up trying to point out all the weaknesses of all those things Communists used to snow people. For instance, I had to ask them if they thought the Dictatorship of the Proletariat would ever wither and die as the Commies said it would. I was scared spitless that I had created a room full of Commies and didn't manage to uncreate them either.

Useful idiots. What else could I call them?

I think I broke the rules by reading the whole article. Toward the end of it I had to wonder how many people would accept what was said, since I accepted all of it. I wish you could get people to read articles like this one, now and then, but it just doesn't happen, for whatever reason.

If they are IDIOTS and if they are USEFUL, then thay can have lots of uses.

There are millions of useful idiots, and they can be used for all sorts of things, particularly things that non-idiots wouldn't do, like trying to agitate the public about something the agitator knows nothing about and has no clue why he is agitating. Others, in the millions, are those who vote for whoever he is told to vote for, even though he is voting himself into poverty.

Personally I believe Obama is a useful idiot as are all of his Administration. I think they are useful to the George Soros' of the world and don't know it. They think THEY are running things - and I think they are idiots for thinking that.

I agree . George Soros goes around the world choosing economies to wreck & this time he choose America.

cold iron Loc: White House

Sadly Obama belongs to a party that is chuck full of useful idiot's. They have not a clue as to what they are doing to America..even some to the conservatives are in this group.

Tasine Loc: Southwest US

Yep, and it's sad - but mostly it is maddening :!: :hunf:

I believe George Soros is behind all of this. How else could a totally unknown senator, that had done nothing in his life to distinguish himself, get to be President of the most powerful country on earth? Makes me know he didn't get there by himself.
