Obama = Communist is the new RW meme

They must be desperate.

1. Hillary must have called into RW radio and chided them for not attacking
Obama more. She's good at that!

5. What's really ironic is that most people don't even know what Communism is
They just know that Communism is unAmerican and ergo, bad.

6. Yes, desparate people will do desparate things rather than face the truth.
However, what they resist persists. So, happy karma to them.

16. Nobody uses "meme" right since Terence McKenna died
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 07:12 PM by melody
Deal with it -- it's part of the metaphorical vocabulary now.

8. He'll I've been saying that for months
and thank goodness for it!

I'm kidding of course, but all the stuff about Obama being conservative was completely uninformed, moronic foolishness. Joe Trippi can suck my big toe.

10. It was Clinton's meme last week against Obama
I wish she'd stay away from right wing tactics. It makes me so mad, and sad.

11. The reich wing is desperate and scared of Obama
"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist."
Dom Hélder Pessoa Câmara


The rethug's think anyone that gives a damn about their fellow man is a communist.

14. Weeks ago, a NY Times editorial used the phrase "cult of personality"
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 07:05 PM by Eric J in MN
...towards Obama, saying his campaign was getting close to a "cult of personality."

That is how Kruschev described Stalin's rule.

NY Times columnist Paul Krugman echoed the sentiment of the NY Times editorial.

Associating Obama with communism isn't just for right-wingers. The mainstream press can do it, too!

15. That's pretty standard.
If that's all they've got, then things look pretty good for Obama come November!
