You see, it's stuff like this that makes people think Teabaggers are a bunch of right-wing cranks.

But I doubt anyone would be retarded enough to call McCain a communist nazi.

I don’t doubt you’d get those comments from some of the lefty wackos but that guy is an elected official. I don’t believe you would see an elected Democrat calling the standing president a liar in the middle of his speech or going on the radio and talking about Obama wanting to put American’s in Nazi style prison camps. And even if that were to happen I’m pretty sure they be told by their own party to shut the fuck up.

Did any Dems go on the radio and accuse Bush of being fascist? Also, serious question, can one be fascist and communist?

True - the elected official qualification changes things. I was more focusing on message boards dipshits like our boy polecat. But no, I can’t think of any dems in prominent positions making similar statements about Bush.

I’m just waiting for them all to start legislatin South Korean style!

*[Sigh]*I live in his district (although I certainly did NOT vote for him) and, until recently, this guy had such a low profile hardly anybody around here could identify him as their representative. Appealing to the right-wing crackpot crowd is his way of getting attention. Unfortunately, all idiots like him do is perpetuate the stereotype prevelant in the Seattle area that Spokanites and other people from Eastern Washington are trigger-happy paranoid racist reactionaries who still see Reds hiding everywhere. That, in turn, discourages people from moving–or even visiting–here and encourages smart people to leave.

(It’s a damn shame that the only way to elected around here is to put an “R” in front of your name. Too many people don’t seem to care about anything else when they’re voting.)

And according to conservatives, neither are we progressive Republicans

Pickle you, kumquat! Seriously, dude, this reply is so fucking retarded I have no idea how to respond to it.

(shrug) This country is in serous fucking trouble, trouble so bad that our survival as a nation is very much in question. You want to pretend it’s not so, you go right ahead. You go on whistling past the graveyard.

Will you take back your baseless assertion that Obama is quasi-Marxist?

Cause if you don’t, it will be pretty fucking hilarious.

Oh, they will preserve it, just as they took an oath to do. It’s their job, it’s their sworn duty. Protect and defend the constitution, uphold the law, all that stuff. And, it’s no where close to a Stalinist police state. In a Stalinist state, you’d have already been reported to the secret police and probably “disapeared” already. Maybe your family too.

Think on that for a while.

Seems to have worked for about the past year:

Or even the past forty years?

LP, you do seem to have a certain persistent wistful fondness for the idea of a violent insurrection in the US, but I think your wish may be father to your expectation here.

Care to give a rough, high-level explanation, or couple of bullet-points why you think this is so?

Yeah! I mean, christ, they went and put a nigger in the White House! Good lord, what are all us whiteys gonna go now.

I’ve got cop family too. And I don’t give a shit what they say. That’s what they think. So do you, Polecat.

I have faced that question, and come to a fearsome conclusion: I must learn to dance.

Uncle Joe didn’t “disappear” people. He often did it in the middle of the day. “Disappearing” give plausible deniability. Stalin didn’t give a shit about deniability because it diluted the message.

I’m amused that conservatives still assume liberals admire Stalin, like some leftwingers did in the 30s. No, he was a monster equal to Hitler and even commies like Nikita “We will bury you” Krushchev repudiated him.

How did the listeners to the speaker in the OP respond to her?

You and I are truly fucked. I can claim my Minnesota heritage but you are an immigrant.

Oh, hell, Texans can’t dance any better, why they invented the two step, that’s all the further we can count.

Laughed and cheered. You can see the incident in the video in the OP’s link.

If that’s true, I’m not sure you’re on the side you think you’re on.
