#2 At the close of the Spanish Civil War George Orwell resided in Barcelona and cast his anathama on both the Left (the Anarchists and Communists) and Right (the Fascists).

#5 For all the bluster from the left about bullying, they don't mind going full-bore with bullying when it suits them.

#7 Darth - you know the lefties have the same poster with an elephant on it. I'm sure it drives them to hysterics.
