The Daily Caller:
Democratic Florida Rep. Joe Garcia — fresh off being caught eating his own earwax on camera — was caught red-handed (or is it yellow-fingered?) in another gaffe this week, claiming that low crime rates in border cities with lots of federal immigration workers is proof that “Communism works.”
Garcia made the comment during a Google hangout he convened last week to talk about comprehensive immigration reform with supporters. The Democrat attempted to point out how, for all their talk about limited government, many Republicans are fine spending loads of government money on border security.
“Let me give you an example, the kind of money we’ve poured in,” he said. “So the most dangerous — sorry, the safest city in America is El Paso, Texas. It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city in the Americas, which is Juarez. Right?”
“And two of the safest cities in America, two of them are on the border with Mexico,” Garcia continued. “And of course, the reason is we’ve proved that Communism works. If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”
Spoken like a true ear wax eater.
This needs to be a centerpiece clip in every republican campaign commercial. We all knew the dems have embraced the totally immoral philoposphy of Marx despite the denials from the left. The dems are so arrogant that they are now admitting their immoral and delusional beliefs.
It’s partly why I refer to them as part of the Collective. It’s all you hear these idiots babble about in “higher” education.
Really, guys. What comments can describe or analyze such breathless stupidity?
The only idiots who think communism can ever work are those who believe they are the ones who will be more equal than the other animals.
The mask comes off
Having seen video of the actual remark, I’m pretty sure there was some tongue-in-cheek involved, but the current crop of leftists really seem to think that they can make it work here. That’s true everywhere it’s tried. First comes the cheering rabble, then the scarcities, then the crackdowns, then the blood.
@Kraken #1 – I read a clever comment.
With communism all there is to eat is… earwax.
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at that one….
He walked back his remark….my though is why even enter ‘that word’ in ANY conversation?
Yes, Dr John the mask IS off.
@Pete: One of the first things Lenin did when he took power was to take companies away from their private owners and put them in the hands of his Bolshevik cronies, i.e. unions etc. One of the results was that production in 1921 was one-seventh of what it was in 1913. Obama followed in Lenin’s footsteps doing the exact same thing with GM. Here are some of the results:

the unions should be banned from public work on STATES LEVEL AND MOST OF ALL ON GOVERNMENT ANY BRANCH, any level,
hell, even the president is unionyze,
He said, ”If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”
Yeah……
Now, who pays for EVERYBODY to have a GOOD gov’t job?
Heh.
Democratic state Sen. José Rodríguez’s statement in September 2011 was that El Paso had been named America’s “Safest Large City.”
We [Politifact] rated that claim Mostly False;
El Paso had low crime rates, but only a local press release had named it the nation’s “safest” large city–and its police department dropped the label.
Neither El Paso’s press release nor the CQ Press summary identified the border city as the nation’s safest big city.
Marina Ilishaev, CQ Press spokesperson, said, These terms [Safest, and Most Dangerous] are no longer used because perceptions of safety and danger are just that—perceptions.

El Paso has a higher burglary rate than New York City!
El Paso had the fourth-lowest violent crime rate with Austin, San Diego and San Jose having lower rates.
The FBI advises against using its figures to rank cities.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, there are plenty of little neighborhoods where you absolutely don’t go unless you are prepared to meet criminals in El Paso.
