Any One Else Hear the "Conservatives" Call Sam Seder and Bitch about Socialism?
Remember this meme, because we are seeing folks here on DU bitch about the same thing, regarding Chavez. If you are a liberal, a democrat or you want anything remotely "socialistic" (which in my mind is a good thing) you are to be labeled a socialist and maybe even a communist, as I was called on another thread regarding.... Chavez..

It's a right wing meme... very interesting. You'll be hearing it more often now that the GE is right around the corner.

1. Thing about Chavez is that he's not a good leader
But he's not a bad leader. Find someone in power now who isn't a bad leader - its hard.

2. It's about ethnic self determination
we don't like native peoples to have control of their own resources. We want friendly puppets.

3. the good old right wing talkers are dredging up their 'favorites'...
in the last two weeks, I have heard 'communist', 'socialist'. 'militant black', etc...

goddam...is it 1970 again?

these RW a-holes will play any card they can to 'gather up the base'...

I thought their hero Ronnie got rid of all the 'communists'....

well, except for the ones who now own most of our IOU's...

maybe the RW talkers should worry about THOSE guys...

8. Good point about the debt................
here's what I wish someone would ask McCain. "When will we start to pay for this war?" 4000 men and women have made their payments, 4000 families have given their part, when will the rest of us, Democrats and Republicans alike, begin to pay off Bush's Folly? I know I don't like my generation running up bills and expecting our grandchildren to pick up the tab.

7. That's how they spread
the devide and conquer mentality, everything good = communism. communism = bad. Free health care = communism. Free education = communism/ communism = bad. Any way you do the math you lose. 4000 dead = patriotic/ patriotic = good.

9. Then when you call them on their actual fascism or totalitarian mindsets
They started acting all offended.

When the French aristocracy started that they relieved them of their heads. Touche!
