The following was sent to the main address of the Communist League today:
As a retired military officer and now a business owner, I understand your position. You folks are incompentent and can't make it in the real world. So, due to your inability to learn and deal with your own issues, you must blame someone. Wouldn't it be much easier to leave and go to a communist country. You must know, as long as patriots like me, trained assasins for the US government, are alive, your communist agenda will never gain traction. I will fight you to my last breath.
My God Bless Us with your departure.
The would-be "assasins" of League members was kind enough to use his name, Barry D. Todd.
It took about 15 minutes on Google to find this guy. He is the CEO of BDT Enterprises, a financial-planning company in Yuma, Arizona. Before entering the exciting world of financial planning, he was an Army Ranger for 21 years. I tend to think Todd wanted us to know who he was; he seems to have the requisite level of arrogance for it.
If you're interested in registering your displeasure at Mr. Todd's death threats against League members, you can call BDT Enterprises at (928) 344-8000, or visit the offices of BDT, 2615 E 24th St, Ste 2, Yuma, AZ 85365. If I get more information, I'll post it here.
The following is the reply of the League's C.C. Bureau to Mr. Todd:
Dear sir,
It is with great interest that we choose to write in reply to your comment and blatant death threat, sent in the early hours of this morning.
Normally, we would just pin up comments like yours on our FYI bulletin board for our members to laugh at. After all, there is nothing that can stir the depths of one's humor like an obviously alcohol-fueled rant by an ignorant teabagging fascist. But you, sir, crossed a line by issuing a threat against the lives of our members, and that warrants a specific response.
First, for the record, one should never lecture on competence or incompetence when one cannot even spell the word properly. For us, it is not a matter of competence; it is a matter of principle. Many of us could have chosen lucrative fields and careers, but we are proud to be workers -- the true producers of society -- and we have no interest in betraying our class. So, we have chosen to "make it" in our own ways, as both workers and revolutionaries. The fact that you feel threatened enough by us to issue a death threat against our members shows that, indeed, we are "making it in the real world".
We don't blame anyone for anything. We have no reason to hold or issue such blame. This is not about petty moralism or whiny "what about me?" sulking. This is about building a better world for the working majority of humanity. As your life has been that of a professional murderer ("trained assassin") and parasite ("financial planner"), we understand that you have no regard for your fellow human being, only their money or whatever object of value your masters told you they have. Likewise, it is clear to us that your inability to think for yourself means you have no choice but to reduce the world to simplistic and childish "either-or" situations requiring "heroes" and "evil-doers" -- those to blame and those who are blameless.
Now, Mr. Todd, as to your threat against us, it is clear that, after 21 years in the Army, including as a Ranger, we're sure that, in theory, you can make good on your desire to assassinate any of our members. But while committing such an act may sound good in theory, it won't work in the real world. Let us put it another way: For an Army Ranger, you sure did a horrible job covering your tracks. It took us only a few minutes to find out everything we need to know about you, and we have already passed all of your information on to our security forces.
However, at this time, we have no interest in playing your game. As long as your threat remains the idle rambling of a drunken fool, we don't care about your comings and goings in Yuma. But if any of our members are physically targeted by your teabagging Nativist fascist friends, we will hold you personally responsible. You rightwingers like "personal responsibility". Let's see how you like this one. And don't get all whiny with us about this; you invited this by threatening to assassinate members of our organization. Wear your albatross proudly.
As for whether or not our views will "gain traction", all the trained assassins in the world could not stop that. You can kill people, but you cannot kill principles and ideas. Of course, that won't stop you Ku Klux Konservatives from resorting to terrorism -- bombing buildings, assassinating individuals, etc. -- to try to stem the tide.
We will meet you when we are ready to meet you, and not before. And when we arrive, we will not be alone.
