I heard a caller on right wing radio call Obama "Malcolm X"

Why is it whichever candidate we put forth becomes the mostest leftist, liberal person ever in the history of being leftist and liberal?

How did a relatively moderate Senator get labeled thus?

It's so weird to watch one side call him and Hillary Republican lite centrists, and the other side refer to them as Communists and Socialists and whatnot.

1. If reich wingers had brains, they'd be progressives.

:evilgrin:

8. If they had a few more brains, they would be half-wits.

2. God Damn are Right WIng Talk SHow Hosts So Damn Stupid

At least that's what they pander to... pure unoriginal stupidity.

3. The caller was an idiot, but I'll give the host credit. He wasn't buying it.

Never heard of him before. He seemed relatively sane in comparison to the caller.

4. He's not fitting their simpleton stereotypes so they are flailing around blindly. n/t

5. Malcolm X

was rather conservative, in many ways.

6. You raise a good point.

We could nominate Zell Miller this year and the predictable attacks would follow. These scripts were completed long ago by someone at the Heritage Foundation. That person is no longer active in GOP politics - probably facing indictment on child pornography charges or something - but the scripts have never been revised. We'll be hearing them all again soon enough. Again and again and again.

edit: I type like Boosh governs, poorly.

7. One question

Why would anyone, who is not a troglodyte, be listening to right-wing radio?

What radio program was this?

:hi:

9. Sometimes I flip to AM and go down the dial. They were talking about Obama so I stopped.

Host was half way sane, but that caller was nutty as a fruitcake.

10. that's all there is....

if you want to listen to talkradio, then it's rightwing...i thought the fact the reactionarkies have intentionally taken control of the am dial in most of the country, and thus deny progressive voices exposure, even when it cost money (it also leaves millions of left/libs w/out any service, unless we want to listen to their crap)..i thought this fact was basic 'understanding media'(?)

11. I remember reading..

his auto-biography in the early 70's. I don't understand how all these people that made such a positive impression on me, are now the devil. When did this happen?

[TML]

12. That's nothing

I had a sales call today that called Obama "catfish" because of his lips and used the n-word so many times that I felt sorry for the bigot.

And yes, he told me to vote for McCain or this country is going to hell.
