I suppose they will call him a Communist as a matter of fact

Which would be pathetic, and funny as hell...as well as par for the course -- as Mr. Pierce predicts:
The fact that Lech Walesa apparently is planning to come to New York to visit the Occupy site is just about the coolest thing that's happened since the movement's reach began to spread. I am looking forward to hearing David Brooks and George Effing Will and the rest of the people react to the presence of a genuine hero without whom the likes of Brooks and Will — and just about every conservative on the planet — would not be allowed to lie all the time about Ronald Reagan's having won the Cold War.

Since when have pesky little things like facts or reality ever mattered to (Triumph of the)Will or Bobo (or any other conservative for that matter)?

the average American will say 'Lech Walesa who?' Hell a majority of Americans don't know our own history from 30 years ago (or even last year), let alone world history, so I'm sure what ever bullshit Brooks and Will decide to dribble out will pass by pretty much intact. And I guarantee you that the talking heads on TV will do their damnedest to keep people from remembering.

Don't worry - a typical right-winger can pivot a talking point in a day or even an hour should reality threaten their ideology. The contradiction in turning Lech Walesa from the right-wing's favorite unionist into a "commie traitor" or somesuch won't trouble them at all.
