Capitalist plot

Apparently there is no limit to the dumb crap peddled about bird flu. From the Bill O'Reilly - Rush Limbaugh faction of the Russian Communist Party:

Russian Communist party leader Gennady Zyuganov has blamed the United States for the spread of avian influenza, or bird flu, in a number of European countries, including Russia.

"The forms of warfare are changing. It's strange that not a single duck has yet died in America - they are all dying in Russia and European countries. This makes one seriously wonder why," Zyuganov said at a press conference at the Interfax main office on Tuesday. (Interfax News Agency)

Zyuganov considers himself an authority on this because he thinks he knows something about war gases.

"I tested all kinds of war gases at a range myself," he said.

Asked to be more precise as to whether he believes the bird flu outbreak could be a deliberate attack by the U.S., Zyuganov answered positively.

"I not only suggest this, I know very well how this can be arranged. There is nothing strange here," he said.

There's something strange about this all right, but nothing that going back on your medication won't make right, Comrade Zyuganov.
