A branch of the Russian Communist Party has threatened Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford that he will be “beaten and despised” if he comes to Russia to promote his latest movie. The St Petersburg branch of the Communist party also called for a boycott of the movie, describing it as crude, anti-Soviet propaganda.

My first thought was not for the safety and well-being of Harrison Ford should he go to Russia, but for how long it would take before the anti-communists and the Joe McCarthys in blogdom to seize on this and claim it is proof, EVIDENCE! that all communists are a rather nasty bunch, then go on to tar all lefties with the same brush. Evidence that lefties hate freedom of speech, evidence that lefties are censorial, evidence that lefties are violent and full of hate, evidence that lefties cannot stand Hollywood big-budget adventure flicks.

So far, I have seen nothing. And it’s been over six hours since the ABC News Online posted that bit of news.

If you see anything from the moonbats frothing over the dirty, filthy commies and “Leftards”, leave a note in the comments.

UPDATE:

True to form, the Daily Telegraph have used Our Cate as an angle to this “story”. They also helpfully provided the link to the Russian Communist Party website where the denunciations were made. It’s helpful if you can read Russian.
