Who know who "started" the red fist?
I just know that I prefer the one that's armed with a hammer; in possession of the machinery of production and ready to strike a blow for its emancipation:

I don't see how Olbermann is wrong.

I lol'd. Olbermann's definitely my favorite bourgeois commentator. Also, I doubt he's wrong.

But did you know that in 1917 the "women's division" of the IWW was called the Red Hat Society?

They later broke off and evolved on their own because the felt the IWW sold out to the Capitalist business owners.

You can here the sirens of the pig police cars trying to break up their march--but the Comrades held together in worker solidarity!

One of the only political people on TV I can stand. If only because his talent for exposing conservative hypocrisy is entertaining.
