Do you blame them?
The reaction is based on fear. Open Source is a challenge to the current echo system. Many of the old school developers and programmers aren't sure how or if they can make a living in this new world. People get scared when it appears a change is coming. They will say and do anything and everything to fight it. Many time the sole purpose of their rants is to buy time to adjust. In the end reality sets in and they'll settle down to a new way of business. As far as open source being commie, thats just stupid. Its as American as apple pie and baseball.
