Pepe's boy Chavez rolls on in defense of freedom.

Pepe le Pew said...: "Fatherland, socialism or death! We will triumph!"

the commie equivalent of "better dead than red". Stupidity transcends political boundaries.; 7/03/2008 2:06 PM
Mr roT said...: Not exactly. This is the mirror equivalent of 'give me liberty or give me death.' Better dead than red meant for others, not for myself, which is much less crazy.; 7/03/2008 2:46 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: Hmm. i wasn't aware of the implicit clause in the statement. How do you figure ?; 7/03/2008 3:23 PM
Mr roT said...: The way I understood it, 'better dead than red' was an incitement to kill communists. You may be right that it also meant to someone somewhere that they would prefer death to living under communism, which would be equivalent, then to the above examples.; 7/03/2008 4:53 PM
Mr roT said...: Here is another possible meaning.; 7/03/2008 4:54 PM
Tecumseh said...: Pepe: you blew it, your comparison simply sucks. I say, you owe a bottle of VCP Brut (a millesime cru, for sure), to JJ. Pronto, eh?; 7/04/2008 3:33 PM
