How Far Left Are They?

The anti-Obama protesters in Chicago are so left wing they believe this:

The protesters said they wanted to bring an anti-war and anti-capitalism message to both the Obama administration and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama's former White House chief of staff.

When protesters think this administration is too pro-victory and pro-capitalist, you know they must be communists.

And what do you know? The article actually mentions that (unlike the silence of the lambs over the Occupy Wall Street pedigree):

The Chicago Workers Movement activities ushered in what it called a "Week Without Capitalism," when it seeks to "protest against the capitalism and militarism of NATO-G8," according to the letter the group was to deliver to Obama officials.

Ah, the Chicago Workers Movement. That doesn't sound Marxist at all. Well, maybe they're Maoists. We'll see if the media has any interest at all. I have hope since the protesters might make President Obama look bad unless they are shown to be actual extremists.
