I am so sick of hearing Obama called a "socialist" by the right wing!

15. I hear you

The right wing simply insists on referring to liberals as socialists. They think they made the word "liberal" a bad word, so they are moving on down the line to the next word.

When challenged to find some statement from Obama that the government should own the means of production, and quoted a dictionary definition of the word "socialism" they revert to guilt by association. Obama appointed Van Jones, was a friend of Ayers, and even his mother is brought out for having some kind of Marxist friend. Obama went to Harvard, which they thoroughly believe has a faculty made up of Marxists.

Right wingers are hopelessly stupid. And hypocritical. Do the same thing to them (the sovereign movement or the KKK) and they will suddenly see gradations and differences on the right. But be slightly to the left of Lieberman and you are a raving communist.
