A GOP buzzword has been doing the rounds again

Before the 2008 election, there were several new posters on a country music board I go to.

They all had the same writing style and when talking about Obama they would use the word "Doomed"

When mentioning him.

Fast forward to 2012 and now talk radio, the msm and Fox News have been using this word repeatedly in
a passive aggressive way when talking about President Obama.

It's been getting more consistent, is this some sort of viral marekting by them???

In the sense that Obama has doomed the republican party to a second rate has-been party that may just be on its last legs if all goes well.

apocalypsism, and the end of the Euro etc.

Nothing accidental about it. State-of-the-art engineered brainwashing.

They have been making the rounds on DU as well. I suspect that the trolls have been lurking through the primary and are now starting to disrupt with coordinated talking points. It is really kind of an interesting process to observe.

Did you know Obama is a black man from Kenya Africa? He's a Socialist, he's a Nazi, he's a Gun Grabber, he's a Communist, he wants to pull the plug on grandma, he pals around with terrorists, he's a Mooslem, and did I tell you he's a black man?

how you could betray everything we stand for with your love of country music?

This, to me, is a far greater betrayal.

We don't even know you anymore.

How do you live with yourself?
