Seriously what is this communist bullshit about

[malaise]

now it means anyone who wants government involved in the economy - if Robert Reich is a communist I am Lenin.

I detest ReTHUGS and their hacks.

Go Ed!!

[baldguy]

1. It's a distraction & lets Republicans avoid saying "Vote for me. I'm a corrupt & incompetent fool."

[malaise]

2. Typical ReTHUG obfuscation

3. Well, that makes THEM fascist.

I gotta say, if I had to choose, I'd choose communism.

5. No it doesn't

According to them, fascists are lefties too. It all started when one of them astutely observed that the Nazis were National SOCIALISTS. Of course, the fact that Republican states are RED is merely a coincidence...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. I was speaking in terms of reality...

...not THEIR reality.
So, that makes them fascist.

10. Oh, there you go bringing facts into the argument...

But in all seriousness, you're pretty much right. By any objective definition of fascism they are much closer to it than liberals and progressives are to being actual communists.

4. While we're on this subject

I was just talking to one of my friends from France, who says that she STILL has to fill out "landing cards" when coming to the U.S that ask if she "has ever been a member of the Communist Party." Isn't that the shits? I just can't believe we're still stuck on this subject.

6. I wonder if that's just for the French though?

I'll have to ask some of my English peeps if they get the same bullshit when they visit.

7. Hard Rightists Here, Ma'am, Have Long Viewed New York And D.C. As the Real Center Of Communist Power

And the take-over of the United States by these enemies within as the true long-range goal of Communism. The collapse of the Kremlin and 'capitalist-road' of the Chinese changes nothing for them.

Of course it is all akin to the well-known papist plot to relocate the Vatican to Mobile back in the 1840s, but believers are believers....

9. It's a tried and true tactic from the right's playbook . . .

. . . When you don't have anything of substance to offer voters, create a boogey-man instead.
