Rick Santorum: "Middle Class" is "Marxism Talk!"

[limpyhobbler]

[Control-Z]

1. Oh, my.

Didn't he have a similar hate rant about President Obama wanting everyone to have the opportunity to go to college? "How dare Obama assume everyone wants a college degree?" (Paraphrasing) "How dare he insult all the many people who only want to go to trade school?" (Again, paraphrasing.) And what about all the blah people? That was him as well, wasn't it?

He is a special kind of icky stupid. You would think his wife, or one of his modern day kids, would try to tell him what a joke he is - or at least be embarrassed by him. If I had the misfortune of being a family member, it would be my a mission in life to shut him up.

9. Somewhere on the web (I don't recall the link) there is a list of Santorum quotes where he has used

It's a lengthy list.

[maddiemom]

10. Sorry, I cut myself short. It's a list of quotes in which Lil' Ricky has used

that very heinous term himself.

[limpyhobbler]

15. Hopefully that will provide us with some good entertainment at some point.

I'm sure he's used the term 100's of times.

Maybe had an epiphany and suddenly decided America is a classless society.

30. Santorum

Ricky should pay more attention when quoting people verbatim . The statement was that everyone should have the chance to attend college . It did not say everyone should go to college .

[PopeOxycontinI]

2. Apart from...

maybe a closet homosexual, the other cliche Santorum sometimes made me think of
was a harsh schoolmaster in a Dickens novel...and it certainly suits here.

[Jack Rabbit]

3. Man, does that kind of stupid give me a headache or what?

I doubt Mr. Santorum has ever read anything by Karl Marx or, if he has, that he is the least bit capable of understanding it.

If one were to poke a pin in Santorum's head it would make a loud pop followed by a high pitched whistle, with the pitch becoming gradually lower until it stops altogether. After this, Santorum's head would no longer be able to float in water, as it can now.

[Jackpine Radical]

27. He actually thinks it's Karlo Marx--

a brother of Harpo, Grouch and Chico.

[Jack Rabbit]

29. I thought Carlo Marx

. . . was a character corresponding to Allen Ginsburg in a Jack Kerouac novel.

[Deep13]

4. Really? Well, three cheers for Marx, then. nt

[bearssoapbox]

5. So much brown frothiness

So little brain matter.

[Half-Century Man]

6. Here is some more Marxist talk...

"Say the secret word and win a prize" and today's secret word is .."Putz"

PS. Yeah It's "Marxist" not "Marxism". remember, to a politician the correct words are important.

[Jack Rabbit]

18. You forget, that's Republican talk

They often get nouns and adjectives confused. Look at the way they've been using Democrat as an adjective. They've been doing this for years. It makes them sound so illiterate.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

7. Obviously, Santorum's knowledge of Marxism

is on about the same level as his knowledge of spoken Sanskrit.

I have been saying for years that among some conservatives, ignorance is actually considered A Good Thing. (William F. Buckley! thou shouldst be alive in this hour; conservatism hath need of thee: she is a fen of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen)

[BillyRibs]

8. Santorum:

That's Disgusting Sex Talk! Keep trying Rick One Day The Google Bomb will go away!

[greiner3]

11. "...What we RIGHTLY own."

Scary talk from a scary person.

[TBF]

12. "Marxism Talk"

Normally when Marx is mentioned I show up to see if there is some way I can be helpful - to explain terminology or just correct whatever misconception is being bandied about.

I don't have much to say to this guy except that I hope he hides good when he realizes everyone is out on the street because the inequality has gotten so bad that folks can't take it anymore.

You may not wish to talk about class Mr. Santorum, but the results of your your behavior will eventually catch up to you.

13. Further proof of how Home Schooling is dangerous

[MyshkinCommaPrince]

14. They have to scare their people

They have to scare their people away from any reasonable message from our side. Can't have their people starting to use their actual brains to, you know, think about issues that affect them. The Republican base needs to have a quick, easy label to apply to such things, so they will shut down before they can actually hear and consider the merits of alternative ideas or viewpoints. The nature of the label doesn't matter, needn't make sense. There can be more than one label, and they can be mutually contradictory. That doesn't matter, as the label is there to block thought or discussion, not actually explain anything.

16. F*ck you, pRick!

All hail Marx and Lennon!

22. Do you remember the Firesign Theatre?

Awesome comedy and an album named "All Hail Marx and Lennon."

They were aces!

[KansDem]

24. Yes, I do remember the Firesign Theatre!

But I don't remember that particular album...

[Blue Idaho]

28. Enjoy...

31. Thanks!

[lastlib]

17. Groucho, Harpo, Chico, or, Gummo......?

what silliness floats to the top of the santorum...?!

[Triana]

19. I'm sure the John Birch Society aka Tea Party agrees. n/t

[Blue Idaho]

20. Amen

To hell with calling these folks "tea party" members - they ARE the modern face of the John Birch Society. Nothing more, nothing less.

I say we start referring to them as "Birchers" since there is nothing even vaguely patriotic about them.

[Triana]

21. AGREED. I've started pointing out to everyone who will read/listen that they are BIRCHERS

Same attitudes. Same language, words, phrases that the public and the media soundly exposed and REJECTED in the 1960s -- and that they should expose and reject again.

EDIT: and the FACTS are that the Tea Party did evolve from the John Birch Society - it's just JBS with a different name. Claire Conner's book tells the whole story. Poppy Koch was also one of the original JBS founders! It's Bircherism - plain and simple. History is repeating itself only this time, the media is NOT calling them out and they've got more money and a lot more power and influence - thanks to their friends on the USSC - namely Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginny.

[Blue Idaho]

23. I'm with you!

They are Birchers - Period. Its nothing more than the re-branding of ideas America rejected decades ago. They have just wrapped it up in the good old red white and blue and slapped a "New & Improved!" label on it to attract the gullible. I hope others follow your lead, I know I will keep trying to spread the message.

Birchers - Wrong then, Wrong now.

25. Ricky loves his 'pope' !!

26. The voice which keeps on giving, i get worried the GOP is gonna run outta material

But those like Santorum keeps on giving.

[CTyankee]

33. Is it just me that thinks this guy is getting desperate?

"I'll try ANYTHING!" is the title of this thing.

[cynzke]

34. Santorium....

is so full of shit, he should retire and open a fertilizer factory.
