Apparently Harrison Ford wasn't thinking about the feeeeeeeeeeelings of commies.

The Politburo Cries Foul

Members of Russia's Communist Party are calling for a nationwide boycott of the new Indiana Jones movie, saying it aims to undermine communist ideology and distort history.

Harrison Ford returns as Indiana Jones in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" stars Harrison Ford as an archaeologist in 1957 competing with an evil KGB agent, played by Cate Blanchett, to find a skull endowed with mystic powers.

It hit Russian screens Thursday.

Communist Party members in St. Petersburg said on a web site this week that the Soviet Union in 1957 "did not send terrorists to the States," but launched a satellite, "which evoked the admiration of the whole world."

Moscow Communist lawmaker Andrei Andreyev said Saturday "it is very disturbing if talented directors want to provoke a new Cold War."

Being a member of the communist party would no longer be a firing offense.

So they are taking back all pretense that they ever believed reality was what had undermined communist ideology?

At what point do realists get to point out that russian communist party members still believe and China communist party members still believe and the death of them as a viable threat to the non-communist world has been overstated?
