Why Obama Is A Socialist
As we scratch our heads over the winger hysterical dogs screaming "socialist" in regard to healthcare reform or Obama speaking to school children, etc., I finally realized why they are using this word.

In their world, anyone who is President (or any elected official)and who is not white, is just by their very existence the physical presence of "socialism". If Obama went before the camera to speak to school kids and just stood there and said nothing, his "blackness" communicates itself as "socialism" to these people because it's not the status quo. To them it is anti-American and anti-Jesus for "blacks" to hold positions of authority.

Also, Obama has more intelligence in his little finger than Georgie, Ronnie the Dumb and Jerry the Jock all glued together. Wingers believe anyone who is educated, intelligent, and thinks is a threat to their status quo; and, thus, the existence of such people (of any color) is the embodiment of "socialism".

Perhaps Obama needs to figure this out. Unless he can reinvent the color of his skin, everything he proposes will be termed "socialism" and every Repuke politician who rules by manipulating the ignorant is obliged to vote against him. Bottom line: for Christ's sake, Obama, shove a stick of dynamite up this "bi-partisan" ass routine and ignore these demented freaks!!!

1. All the right wing idiots screaming "socialism"
probably couldn't even define the term.

They just know it's bad.

Because Rush and Glenn said so.

Anything that isn't "them" is "socialism". They literally couldn't define socialism, conservatism, or facism if their life depended on it because they are under educated and extremely stupid. They are bar stool patriots who spew out what some clown puts in their mouths because they think it makes them sound "smart". When all layers are peeled away they are: a) racists and b)envious of intelligent/educated people. They are white trash.

3. Who can define socialism?
It has become such a nebulous term meaning anything from Communism to a magical utopia that is yet to be realized or well regulated capitalism.

They can't figure out that "unregulated" capitalism is legalized (and not so legalized) organized crime. Yet they defend it to their death. Instead of understanding who is beating them to death, they defend the abusers and protect them. What we really need in a good healthcare bill is FREE mental health care for wingers!

5. They did the same thing with Dr. King.....

(this was splattered across the South during the Civil Rights movement, King has a 1 on him, Rosa Parks is two people down from the man with the 4 on him.)

(of course my father, who is seated in this audience would tell you, "well yeah he was a socialist! So am I!" lol)

6. The reason they call him "Socialist" is because they really want to call him the N word
but are too chickenshit because they know they'd get called out on it.

8. If he was 100% white, they would hate him only slightly less.
They would still pretend he is the anti Christ.
