How can Obama be both a Socialist and a Muslim |
|
When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan wasn't the main reason Muslims went to Afghanistan to fight was because they considered Socialism an affront to god?
Having said that, Obama can't be both a Muslim and a Socialist. They should pick 1 smear and stick with it.

1. Now, now. You're asking them to understand what they're saying. |
|
You know teabaggin' rethugs can't do that.

2. don't forget: also a fascist |
|
A Muslim-socialist-fascist non-American-born non-white who personally crashed planes into the WTC and the Pentagon and then personally wrecked the economy. The way I've heard some people talk, I think they might actually think that.

3. Kind of like the cabal of Marxist Jewish bankers |
|
Logic is not a crucial component of stupid bigotry.

Jewish people have been helping people for years, it is part of the teachings.
And I am part Jewish by heritage also, although I think it is disrespectful when someone uses heritage to justify actions they do outside of those teachings.

5. socialism and religious beliefs are separate and distinct... |
|
Edited on Tue Aug-24-10 07:10 PM by mike_c
...and have virtually nothing to do with one another, and nothing to say about one another. It is entirely plausible that one might be muslim and socialist, christian and socialist, buddhist and socialist, atheist and socialist-- whatever. The soviet party bosses did not speak for all socialists or all communists on that subject by any means.

6. Ask any Baath party member... |
|
..back in the 50's or 60's. Or most of Nasser's followers.

They were pretty much that. Technically Muslim, but largely secular. Pan Arabist with socialist leanings.
Syria and Iraq were the centers of power for the Ba'ath parties.
Of course Obama is not a muslim, nor a socialist, but such a thing did exist.

9. Ask all the muslim socialists and communists in Iran and elsewhere. |
|
There are plenty of religious Marxists. Liberation theology, for one.
Let's not add ignorance to already existing idiocies.

10. By also being a Nazi and a Kenyan, |
|
he strikes just the right balance of sneakiness and arrogance to pull it all off.
See how clever he is?
The right wing has completely given up even trying to pretend that they are not batshit, bugnuts crazy. What a freak show.

12. That is plausible. It is much more difficult to be a Marxist, a Nazi, and a Socialist |

13. Yo... you forgot the rest of the smears |
|
that don't make sense.
So for your amusement.
He is a socialist, a communist, a NAZI, a non believer, a Black Liberation Theologian following a crazee Christian Preacher, and a Muslim.
Sling mud, see what sticks.

16. He's neither. The "socialist" charge is a phony RW charge that, while I wish were true, |
|
is wholly without merit. Obama is not even a Progressive let alone a socialist. As far as the "Muslim" claim, who really gives a shit.
