Who else hates hearing Republicans throw the word "communist" around all the time?

[Rocknrule]

Or "socialist" or "terrorist"?

They're apparently insults and code words for "anyone who disagrees with me" or "anyone to the left of Hitler," just as "Muslim" is code for "n****r." And I am so SICK of hearing them bitch about this stimulus bill. "It's a communist piece of legislation," "we're becoming a socialist nation," blah blah blah I DON'T FUCKING CARE! I don't care if Obama is a Sith Lord and a Death Eater at the same time, ANYONE is worse that the piece of pure concentrated abysmal shittiness we've had for the past 8 years. I don't care if they think it's communist or whatever just because it doesn't help only the rich, we need to take this and other major steps or we're all going to be living in cardboard boxes!

1. They aren't even educated enough...

to know what the fuck "communism" or "socialism" means. I've yet to meet ONE SINGLE INTELLIGENT, INFORMED REPUBLICAN. The Republicans I have met actually think I'm a "genius" and you guys know by now how utterly stupid I am, LOL.

2. Code word for Librul

Yes, those who think what's good of society or the community is good for all of us are eevil bastids.

3. They're all about putting the right labels on things to fit them in the right...

...preconceived pigeon-holes.

4. No

because I know those words really mean nothing--they are both bogeymen words. Their followers are folks who tend to be fearful and to not know much about history or general knowledge. If it weren't these words, they would be other ones. The key here is to work, one on one, with the Republicans in your area. You can change some minds, a little bit at a time.

5. Its okay to suck up to China which is a communist country...they forget.

How many Republican owned business went off shore to Communist China to do business? How many Communist workers do they employ? Again Republican live by fear tactics, scaring them old white haired ladies & men into believing the Dems are selling out the country when they did years ago. They forget Nixon went to China to suck up to Mao.

6. The same tired old shit from the 70s...

...when they said it about anybody who was against the Vietnam war.

Totally bankrupt of anything resembling a new idea = republican party.

7. Flipped to Faux tonight for laughs and Laura Ingram and the Beck idiot

were saying "one more step to socialism" and Faux flashed the hammer and sickle on the screen. LMAO. If they really saw socialism it would horrify them and their faces would fall off. We and Obama are FAR from communism/socialism.
