Lenin Statue In AC Upsets One Dude
 |
He claimed having a 15-foot tall statue of one of history's most brutal dictators is an insult to thousands of soldiers who died fighting communism. He went on talk radio shows claiming the statue is anti-American, wrote letters and attended Boardwalk parades, urging Tropicana officials to take down the statue.
Now he's claiming the statue is simply "bad luck" and should be taken down lest Atlantic City be smitten by God, who is apparently anti-communism. Wah, wah, a statue of Lenin with a martini in Atlantic City, I must protest! Geeze, what sore winners capitalists are.
Now, the statue of the murderous dictator Julius Caesar? There's a statue worth protesting against.
