Just another FoxNews brainwashed Repuke: “He’s a communist & those of us not voting for him-know it”

[kpete]

While talking to a woman about why she supports President Obama for his health care policy, Chris Matthews heard another woman shout “Communist!” and sought her out.

“What did you mean by that?” Matthews asked the lady.

“All you have to do is study it out. Just study it out. And you’ll see,” she said. “You haven’t done your homework, buddy,” she then accused of Matthews.

“What do I need to study?” he asked.

“He’s a communist,” she replied, “and those of us who are not voting for him know it.”

“And what do you mean by ‘communist’?” Matthews then asked.

“You don’t know?”

“Just tell me. Help me out here.”

“You don’t know?” she said again.

“I just want to know what you mean,” Matthews pressed.

“Oh, I know what I mean,” she shot back.

“Well, help us out. You’re on national television,” the host said. He then asked her if she believes the president is an American.

“No,” she flatly said. “Just because he was born here doesn’t mean he thinks like us.”

“He’s a communist, buddy,” she concluded as the crowd booed.

[frylock]

8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.

3. interesting..........

15. OMG. That basically explains a LOT.

[Kookaburra]

6. She's repeating sound bites

and until she was called out on it, she didn't even realize that's what she was doing and she didn't have a clue what they meant.

4. It seems to relate to the doctrine and covenants of Joseph Smith

The Doctrine and CovenantsSection 9

8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must astudy it out in your mind; then you must cask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your dbosom shall eburn within you; therefore, you shall ffeel that it is right.

5. A recent LTE I read suggested Obama was a communist.

"Read the books, Das Kapital and the Communist Manifesto," the author of the LTE wrote, "Obama's a communist. It's redistribution of wealth. Read the books."

When people say "Read the books," it's a giveaway that they haven't read them, and are relying on opinions from people who claim to have read them (but likely haven't, and know their audience haven't read them either.)

16. yep. i always ask them to "explain it to me like i'm stupid"

"i'm not gunna do your homework" is code for "i really don't know what the fuck i'm talking about."

17. I've had the same conversation when someone once swore Hillary was a communist

"Find out for yourself like I did" was code for "I'm just parroting today's mental vomit from the RW radio nuts because I think it makes me sound 'smart' and 'informed'."

7. Ten bucks says this woman doesn't know what the word communist means.

[meadowlark5]

8. And she couldn't explain what a communist means

She couldn't explain the dictionary meaning of communist or even her own Fox News version of communist. I guess Fox news gives them the titles and words, just not what it means. They just tell their sheep it's bad and they need to vote against it.

If anyone else is watching Matthews talking to the crowd, he then talks to the stereotypical pretty dumb blond suuuthern girl who's there to support Romney. When asked why, her dad is behind her looking all pissed off and feeding her answers. Her final answer was "freedom" while she smiled into the camera (probably hoping for a spot on the next Bachelor). Brainless.

9. proclaiming your ignorance, nationwide...go, girl.

10. What exactly is wrong with communism?

Not that I'm saying I think Obama *IS.* As far as I'm concerned, he could be even more socialist. But "Communist" countries have always been dictatorships without real representation, which seems very much contrary to the central ideas of communism, that is, a civic collective that determines government policy as well as shared ownership of all business. What I'm saying is, it seems like Communism has never really been put to the test.

12. Stalin claimed to be following the doctrines of communism,

but he was really only a corrupt bastard who executed a lot of people.

Kinda took the luster off of communism, I guess.

11. Was she the old lady with the flag hat on?

hope she enjoys having her Social Security and Medicare ended.

13. The republican base

Dumber than a box of rocks, and gullible enough to believe all the crap they hear from fox news, Rush Limbaugh,
and Glen Beck. If this is what has become of the GOP, their days are numbered!

[MattBaggins]

14. It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool...

This Lady needs to be taught that saying.

18. They used to call MLK a "communist," too.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/01/16/martin-luther-king-jr-a-communist-why-he-s-been-whitewashed.html

What would MLK and Barack Obama have in common?



It's *code,* people.

"Just because he was born here doesn't mean he thinks like US."

(Like WHO, exactly? Yeah, that's what I thought.)
