"Useful Idiots"

Via Ace (If Ace is Hot Air South, then this site is quickly becoming Ace of Spades South). He linked to this radio documentary about "Useful Idiots" about a week back but it's worth checking out. It's downloadable in two parts (Part I and Part II, both about twenty minutes long).  Put them on the iPod and listen to them on the way into work.  And tell people you're listening to the BBC.  It helps to make you sound classy and know more than they do (Not to mention giving you one up over those NPR listening snobs). 

Listening about the death camps in Part I wasn't shocking.  What was shocking was how many people liked and approved of them.  They were happy that some undesirables 'Went away'.  Stalin had the ability to take the brilliant piece 'Shut Up' by Andrew Klavan to a very extreme level.  

In trying to make the perfect system on Earth, utopia's always end with death camps. 

If you think that a perfect society isn't what the modern Democrat Party is looking for, then listen to what Alan Grayson says here.  If this doesn't chill you to the bone, I'm not sure what would.
