http://www.mediaite.com/online/new-twitter-feud-alec-baldwin-calls-andrew-breitbart-a-festering-boil-on-the-anus-of-public-discourse/

a vocal majority of comments I've read there (I'm not talking about the ones at the Baldwin/Breitbart link, just generally speaking) mostly seem to agree that Obama is a Manchrian candidate, born singing the Internationale, leading us straight to a dreaded socialist quagmires, something along the lines of hellholes like, say, Sweden or Norway or Denmark

here's a good one...not as hate-filled as many, but typical of the total lack of logic informing their paranoid, logically inconsistent maunderings:

Liberals can't seem to grasp a person labeled a socialist (assuming for sake of argument the person in fact is) can't possibly be a socialist if they do 5 or 6 things that are more capitalist than socialist. It boggles the minds of many, but if a person saves the life of 999 people but kills 1 that person is still a murderer. You can argue they can't have it both ways, but the world isn't black and white - they certainly can have it both ways if the preponderance of the evidence or overwhelming evidence from a single act demonstrates their opinion is likely correct.

Whine all you want, but those who cherry pick Obama's decisions to call him a socialist may be just as right as those who cherry pick his decisions to call him a capitalist. He is what he is. I don't choose to label him, except to say I think in some ways he is very much like Jimmy Carter, but in my view only in the obstinate and historical sense.


the money shot:

I see him as very far left based on his record prior to becoming President as well as his record as President. I also think he can be far left and a capitalist at the same time. I don't think its a coincidence we only hear him compared to Stalin by a DNC spokesperson (Scarborough).

that BASTard DNC-er Scarborough, of all people: a closeted Dem, after all these years! who'd a thunk it
