"The far left wing of the Democrat Party is waiting to take over..."
Palin is whipping the gullible with the mighty spectre of the far left...and Barney Frank.


Fear, fear, fear.

18. I've been wanting that to happen since 1972!
(BTW, isn't it odd how any Democratic nominee automatically becomes "the most liberal member of..." whatever legislative group they belong to? Just think -- if Joementum had managed to capture the 2004 nomination, he'd have been labeled by Republicans and their media noise machine as "the most liberal member of the Senate!" :crazy: )

20. My sentiments exactly.
I was arguing with a freeper this weekend who suggested that I was being misled by Obama and that I should be careful because he is a covert "socialist". I laughed at him, told him I am an overt socialist, and I have no hope that Obama is going to advance any of the socilaist ideas I support.

38. love that
I say the same thing. Very satisfying, isn't it? I use it as an opening, and convert them to socialism before I am finished. Sure catches them off guard, though.

3. Wow, they are some pathetic jerks if Barney Frank scares them.
He's a threatening as a teddy bear.

Are these people scared of their own shadows too?

22. actually, I'm glad a lot of them didn't go into the military ...
if one of their company cracked his knuckles, they'd wet themselves so many times the cleaning bill of their uniforms would be astronomical ...

This would be a welcome change. :-)

8. Funny coming from the far right wing of the Republican Party
Of course, when she's that far right, even slightly left must seem far left to her.

9. exactly
Most liberals do not fear the far left taking over the party, but that the centrist once again reign in the Democratic party.

11. Palin's sense of left, right and center is no better than her sense of geography
I am sure that from her front porch she can see those left-wingers waiting to take over.

You know... The one pushing government financed abortions for everybody?

Who the hell are these people listening too?

13. What the FUCK is the FAR left of the Democratic Party anyway?
Compared with many other countries, America doesn't even *have* a far left in mainstream politics. Even Bernie Sanders would be moderately left of center in Europe, not far left.

Even our Labour Party, after years of being gutted by Blairism, has more of a real left-wing within it than the Democrats do!

33. Yes but we have not been able to implement it since we have not yet achieved our goals of
confiscating every gun and forcing at least one abortion on every female US citizen.

31. They don't let us out much.
And I'm not even that far left... somewhere around "Green Party" I think. Past that are socialists and communists. If we have any left here.
