Wait. Is this banner proclaiming itself Soviet?

I linked to a page and pointed out this banner in my last post, but these things will be wasted unless I point to it a bit further.

Huh?

What does this mean?  This thing is confusing to me.  When I hear the phrase “Enemies of the People”, I think of the Soviet Union’s dissidents.  Which, generally speaking, would be a good thing.  That would seem to suggest that the original source for this image — Republican or conservative activist — is viewing themselves and his/her movement as a Soviet, sharpening discipline, and calling out Obama, Pelosi, Holder, Napolitano, Rangel, Reid, Frank, and Dodd as “Enemies of the People”.

Or is s/he implying that the eight headed Soviet Politboro of Obama, Pelosi, Holder, Napolitano, Rangel, Reid, Frank, and Dodd are listing out the “Enemies of the People”?  I guess that would make some sense — but I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to double back to thinking of them as the “Enemies of the People”, which leads to perhaps a commentary about the double-edged sword — we become the enemy we fight — or something about projection — or perhaps a statement that we choose sides and really only have one choice because both sides are the same.
