List all that is "Commie" or "Unamerican" as told to you by a RWer.

[maveric]

at some point in time. Here are a few that I've heard:

Affirmative Action, Welfare, Socialized Healthcare, Labor Unions, Public School Systems, Support Groups, Consumer Watchdog Groups, Bloggers, Anti-bu$h, Anti-Iraq War, Hollywood, NYC, Boston, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Birkenstocks, Lattes, Kennedy's, All Democrats, Jane Fonda, Dixie Chicks, Medical Marijuanna, NE Patriots, AAR, ACLU,...

Whats your list or do you care to add to mine?

[rkc3]

1. Tolerance and diversity are missing.

[xray s]

2. Fluoride in the water

Don't forget the Commie plot hatched by America's commie dentists to destroy our sacred bodily fluids with fluoride.

[Hugin]

3. Separation of Church and State.

Nevermind it was the Churches' idea in the first place.

[POAS]

4. Unions...........n/t

[Locut0s]

5. In another forum I'm in someone said socialism necessarily = dictatorship

It was in a thread with a link to Germany's economic troubles and the topic was Germany bashing.

Stupid people!

[tjwash]

30. Socialism is an economic system, not a form of government.

So his entire premise is flawed from the beginning.

[cornermouse]

6. "List all that is "Commie" or "Unamerican" as told to you by a RWer."

Anything they don't see when they look at themselves in their mirrors. That's their definition of "commie" or "unamerican" in a nutshell.

7. I have heard both Canada and Ireland

dismissed contemptuously, and almost with a sense of pity, as "socialist".

[Radical Activist]

8. Protesting

like most of our founding fathers did to found our nation.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

9. My late great uncle thought that

Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner, and Eric Sevareid were Communists, Cronkite because he opposed the Vietnam War, and Reasoner and Sevareid because they demonstrated against compulsory ROTC when they were students at the University of Minnesota in the 1930s.

[EVDebs]

10. House Un-American Activities Committee (gag)

Roy Cohn, G. David Schine, Joe McCarthy, "I have a list of 350..." and after a few drinks..."I have a list of 50..."

Being out to 'get' someone instead of out to 'help' someone... Very un-american.

[zippy890]

11. Excuse me,..N.E. Patriots?

The rest of your list I've heard or read RW 'commie' labels, but not the Patriots football team.. why is that?

The professional football team I assume your talking about

[maveric]

14. Because they were announced as a team instead of individually.

In a "Socialist way".

[PST]

well, they're from Massachusetts

they're all commies up there ain't they?

[zippy890]

20. Is it that pervasive, the anti-Massachusetts thing?

I know Bush was bashing this great state I live in-- but I didn't know this sentiment was that strong, encompassing the Patriots.

[PST]

22. I guess John Kerry being a MA senator

makes it extra extra French. and therefore Commie..

you gotta love their logic. the world is so fucking easy of you're one of them.

[maveric]

23. Limbaugh made that comment during one of the SuperBowls.

2001 I beleive. The Rams were introduced individually and Belechick had the Pats come out together, as a team. That just seemed to ruffle Rushbo's feathers and he bleated "Socialism".

[sportndandy]

12. Hippies, yippies, blacks, jews, gays, rock + roll

[Stop_the_War]

13. Love, Peace, Kindness, Tolerance, Morality, Compassion etc....

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. intellectuals

them college graduates are the pitts of communism

[quinnox]

15. Gun control, environmentalists

France, basically any country that doesn't agree with all of Bush's policies.

[jilln]

16. Me

When I was about 20 I witnessed OTHER PEOPLE burning a small plastic flag, and from that point on two town idiots made it their mission to call me a commie whenever they saw me. I believe they are still bouncer and money taker at the local bar...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Think of all the things NOT in Mayberry, RFD.

Pretty well covers it.

[Ivan Sputnik]

19. Anything "European"

such as the metric system. PBS, of course. Any kind of art that is "difficult" or challenging. The outrageous notion of universal healthcare.

[TyeDye75]

28. Looks like Im an Un American Commy Pinko Bastard then

[Just Me]

21. Feminism, humanism, secularism, pacificists, political dissenters,...

,...are some additional ones I can add to your list.

Basically, anyone who's different from radical right-wingers.

[LoZoccolo]

24. The gay rights movement.

I don't want to go look for the site that was saying this at work, but there was some right-wing group that was linking the gay rights movement to communism, and it was actually a pretty professional-looking site compared to other red-scare-type sites.

[BlueFlu]

25. Jesus... but not directly. I "Americanized" some of Jesus' quotes

and my right-wing-nut brother-in-law said I was obviously quoting some Commie pinko!

[wideopen]

26. ME

because I don't support the president in any decision he makes,regardless of how idiotic it may be,I think some aspects of socialism are desirable, war is bullshit, I could go on but you get the point--

[maveric]

27. Oh, I forgot Breast Feeding.

[Swamp Rat]
