OK the opposition talking point of the day is "Communism"

[LaydeeBug]

They are grasping at straws to be sure, but that is what is going around. I used to tout that their platform is a practice in Fascism, but I might want to be a bit slicker now...

Maybe mention the Einsenhower who endorsed Obama?

Or...?

If *I've* seen it as much as I already have, I can't be alone.

1. Ask them to define Communism.

[LaydeeBug]

2. right now, their definition is "socialism" <<----I guess that term has lost its bite

so they're off to find another.

It's a yawn, but I am pretty sure there will be an uptick in this sorta thing

7. None of these dimbulbs could define either

"socialism" or "communism" if the Webster's was open directly in front of them.

Political discourse in this country sounds like what Tchaikovsky would have written if he'd been inspired to compose Buzzard Lake.

[TBF]

3. Socialism/Communism -

I'm up for discussion if any trolls have questions. What y'all need to understand is that Obama does not fall into those categories - he is somewhere down in "centrist" land w/Ronald Reagan.

8. The Birchers, who were the teabaggers of fifty years ago,

openly accused Ike of being a communist sympathizer and Soviet spy. The more things change . . .

10. Man! Ain't that the truth. nt

[Starry Messenger]

6. Is there something specific?

They've been muttering variations of this for four years at least. They think anyone left of Ronald Reagan is a communist.
