Supporting Bush = Supporting Communism

[GeekMonkey]

Bush is driving our debt to COMMUNIST China up with his military misadventures in Iraq.

The Freepers of the world need to be reminded that they are communist supporters.

Let them argue their way out of that.

1. I've always said turn their friggin weasel words back on them..

accuse them of all the dreadful things they say about liberals..call them traitors and ask why the "hate America" etc etc.. Liberals allow these right wing thugs to get away with too much..they're clueless brainless morons so just throw the crap they been giving out for years in their face and let em argue their way out of it..give it to 'em with both barrels

[GeekMonkey]

2. exactly!

that's why i made this post

what other attack words can we turn back against them?

examples:
Republicans are weak on national security because they leak CIA names for political payback, can't catch osama, etc

Republicans hate our troops - under equipped, sent to die for oil, lied to about otur lengths, cutting VA funding, etc

Republicans hate America - undermining civil liberties, destroying our global reputation, etc

Republicans hate children - underfunding education, after-school programs, PBS, passing on huge debt to futrure generations, etc

Republicans are anti-christian - using bastardized religion to support policies that are the opposite of christ's teachings

Republicans are for BIG GOVT - Patriot Act, Giant Deficits, etc

Republicans are wishy-washy - fire leaker/dont fire leaker, tax steel/dont tax steel, read my lips, etc

any more to add?

3. Im not sure red-baiting conservatives is the right tactic...

but agreed on hitting Bush hard over economic policy.

4. Can you give more details as to why you think its not a good

tactic?

Not looking for an argument, just interested in more detail.

8. First off nobody cares about communism anymore,

so red-baiting doesnt work for anyone. That is why conservatives switched to liberal baiting.

Secondly, most of America, and probably all anti-communists think that free market reforms in China are a victory against communism.

I also object in principle to red baiting, china is not a communist country, and communism has nothing to do with why China is a less than admirable country.

[GeekMonkey]

10. That's odd, since most RWers refer to Liberals as Commies

[K-W]

11. Nope, after we declared communism dead,

most conservatives followed along and said it was dead. Not all certainly, but I challenge you to find red baiting anywhere in recent meainstream discourse outside of the lunatic fringe (coulter, etc)

Instead we see liberal baiting, which is essentially the same.

[GeekMonkey]

12. exactly my point

We show how unpatriotic supporting a regime that is selling us out to the communists.

Besides, have you aleady forgotten the massive hoopla over Clinton's supposed sales of nuclear secrets to - gasp - COMMUNIST china??

[K-W]

14. Yah, those attacks on Clinton worked GREAT

I remember when his approval ratings tanked...

No wait, the population didnt care, because nobody is scared of communists anymore after the fall of the Soviet Union, because the same leaders who invented the communist threat told them that communism died.

And again, most americans think that commercial engagement with China is leading them away from communism.

5. Shopping at Wal-Mart definitely supports communism.

I find that Republican morons have a soft spot for Wal-Mart for some reason.

[GeekMonkey]

6. Because republicans are cheap

and value their own pocketbook more than their fellow humans

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. Oppression of poor workers gives them a boner. (nt)

[GeekMonkey]

9. I think they are scared of boners

which is why they get so upset when people get (or cause) one

13. China is now about as Communist as General Motors.

It's hilarious to watch the "Commies" bite us in the ass with our own dog-eat-dog economic philosophy.

Sadly, it's not so hilarious for the Chinese people who aren't part of the new capitalist elite.
