Edited on Sat Aug-16-08 03:18 PM by Wetzelbill
Well hell, game over. I guess I'll be voting for McCain now. I mean if Glenn Beck says it's true it must be true. I, of course, could look at Obama's record and his policy proposals, but I'm pretty sure Glenn Beck already did that and concluded Obama was a Communist.

It's easy having research done for me. I like it. Thanks Glenn!

But seriously, folks.... :)

1. Does anybody else see Glenn Beck as a junior Rush wannabe?
I mean, he's like Rush's 10-year-junior clone. Same look, same speech style, same purported views...

6. Same 400 million dollar WISH??...yup...Wannabe confirmed....
Empty language..always whining...no real substantive comments/solutions unless slanted toward his GOP....

It was called Yellow Journalism in my day

I believe the term is now PYSOPS...a sustained concentrated effort to SOCIAL ENGINEER into what we have today....where Negativity prevails.....

3. I remember when Glenn Beck did his
"I was mistreated during my butt surgery" media tour. I wanted to feel badly for him, but I just couldn't. :P

decorating the White House Christmas tree with crack pipes too? No seriously, Google it, the Wingnuts accused Hillary of doing just that. How any Hillary supporter could support McCain is beyond me after all the attacks she faced from the Rethugs. These attacks on Obama serve as a reminder that very little has changed with the Rethugs.

13. You'd think McCain's joke about Chelsea would be enough
Edited on Sat Aug-16-08 05:09 PM by Hippo_Tron
I don't have a stomach for adults who publicly make offensive jokes at the expense of teenagers.

9. You know. When anyone says communist to me anymore I
smile and inform them of what the word means. I tell them that they have been brainwashed by cold war propaganda and that in totalitarian states like Russia and China, who adopted a communist economy, it's the political system that they should object to. I also tell them that capitalism flourished under the Nazis and fascists in Italy and is now flourishing in China all major human rights violators. No matter where they take this conversation, they just can't conflate the two systems into one. Most people who have ever had this conversation with me never bring it up again because they know they can't win. It's time to start owning the words communism and socialism and making people see that they are economic systems not political systems. For instance a totalitarian dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and the other Arab states ruled by kings for instance, do practice capitalism and not communism or socialism, yet they are no better than the Soviet Union was or China is today.

That being said, I'm not in favor of pure communism. In my mind it leads to the same political abuses that unfettered capitalism leads to. It's just that both systems can flourish under political systems that are as opposite as democracy and totalitarianism depending on where the leadership takes their nations. I favor regulated capitalism under a social democracy like our friends the Scandanavians have developed. I think this is where the Democrats and Obama want to take us eventually as a country. It's the kind of "communism" I could be comfortable with.
