Who Dresses Your Dumb Ass In The Morning?
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 05:22 PM by 20score
Honestly, is there nothing you won’t swallow hook-line-and-sinker, as long as it reinforces your prejudices? Obama’s a Muslim? A terrorist? A Marxist? A fascist? Socialist? Or all of these things? Even though some of these ideologies are mutually exclusive. You are actually moronic enough to even consider these things, with no proof what so ever.

You seem to have no problem believing that Obama and his admirers are Marxist and fascist, plus socialist thrown in for good measure. Do you have any idea what these words mean? Of course you don’t, you just know they’re bad… very bad. If you knew and understood what these ideologies stood for, you’d know that fascism and Bushism are almost completely interchangeable. Look up how Mussolini defined fascism and see if doesn’t come very close to what right-wing radio and Fox News espouse. (Disaster Capitalism anyone?) What you should do, if you really are patriotic like you claim, is take each proposal and weigh it on its own merits, then decide if it’s good for the country; instead of having a nervous breakdown every time you hear a label. The whole country would be better off if you did.

I realize our side is supposed to be the one without the anger of your side, but your side has given us real reasons to be angry. Unlike the reasons your side has for anger. I liken it to the difference of hating someone because they come from a city that has a sport’s team you don’t like, (false outrage) and hating someone because their ideology causes unnecessary death, (real outrage). Because of the susceptibility of certain people in this country to propaganda, Osama bin Laden is free and we our bogged down in Iraq. Because so many people are susceptible to propaganda we have a national embarrassment in the White House, a ten trillion dollar debt, a banking crises, a shredded constitution and have lost numerous rights that people actually died for. We also have a country that will not make sure that everyone has healthcare; that puts our mentally ill in jail instead of a hospital and has millions of homeless. All because you refuse to think further than a talking point.

Well, now you’re doing it again, this time because you don’t want to like Obama. This time though, your numbers are fewer. Let’s just hope this trend continues.

(A junk email my wife received today set me off. It accused Obama of being a Muslim, socialist, fascist, terrorist, etc.)

But I've seen hundreds of these types of posts here, even on the main page. Having a hard time understanding your's or crikkett's posts.
Although, at least you weren't rude about it.

24. The GOP base doesn't know the difference between
Karl Marx from Groucho Marx.

The McCain smears are way over their head.
