Joe Walsh, GOP Congressman, Quiet While Constituent Calls Obama A Socialist, Nazi, Communist
The Huffington Post | By Nick Wing Posted: 05/21/2012 11:25 am

Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) held another lively town hall meeting this weekend, playing host to a constituent who accused President Barack Obama of "sedition" because he had allegedly lied to voters about his true political allegiances to "socialism, communism and Nazism."

In a discussion about health care reform, a woman told Walsh that she believed the United States was losing its freedom because of elected officials who were falsifying their ideologies to get elected.

“It is sedition. I mean, they did it underground. If they are honest brokers and they believe in what they’re saying and where they want this country to go, like Obama, then you’re right. He should have said it before he was elected, and said 'I’m a socialist, I believe in socialism, in communism, Nazism,' whatever, and say 'this is where I want to lead the country' -- not do it underhandedly,” she said.

Walsh followed up on the constituent's claim without challenging it.

2. It's obvious the idiot saying that hasn't a clue what those terms are

Being a socialist, nazi AND a commie all at the same time would majorly if it wasn't so pitfully stupid.

3. I'm just gonna keep posting Lewis Black's rant every time they call us Nazis.

Really - is that the best they got? It's such an overused reference that there's been a new logical fallacy created for it called "Ad Hitlerum".

4. She suffers from an irrational fear of "isms".

5. A Socialist, and Nazi AND a Communist.

Wow. Not sure that's even possible.

6. You just don't appreciate how tricky those libruls are!

Thankfully, we have Madam Dining Room Table here to explain it all. Oh, and by the way, it's, like, totally unfair to characterize Rep. Walsh as a deadbeat dad, so don't do it! While the cat got his tongue during this nitwit peroration, he's very responsive anytime someone says Rep. Joe Walsh is a deadbeat dad. So, don't say that Rep. Joe Walsh is a deadbeat dad. Or else.
