Duck Soup

Serially incompetent "blogger" Cliff May is at it again at The Corner (and no doubt soon at the "Foundation for the Defense of Democracies"), this time alerting readers to a dangerous alliance of Communists and Islamists --

The Islamo-communist Alliance [Cliff May]

From a press release circulating in Europe:

Gathering of Arab Resistance forces in Europe

For March 24/25 a major gathering of political representatives of the resistance forces from Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon have been scheduled.
It will take in Italy in Chianciano between Rome and Florence. It is the first time such an event has become possible in Europe. There are two major factors for this change. Firstly, while the anti-war movement is suffering from a serious reflux the anti-imperialist component

And it goes on, the kind of thing that Private Eye would put a Dave Spart byline on and a "continued p94" at the end. But Cliff gives no link or specific source for where he got it.

Still unaware of the technique of just cutting and pasting a line from the item into Google, he therefore passed on the opportunity to let readers see the whole thing for themselves . At least the item appears genuine, unlike some of Cliff's previous findings -- but it's basically a bunch of dudes at the radical left/Arab nationalist intersection who happen to have a website and fancy a trip to Italy in the Spring. Who wouldn't.

But does the world really need to be quaking in its boots, as Cliff implies, from the mortal threat posed by, for example "Revolutionary Communist League (RKL) Thuringia, Germany?" Apparently so.
