Obama Steals Mao's Slogan
The American Spectator ^ | 5.3.12 @ 6:09AM | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 05/03/2012 12:28:09 PM PDT by LucyT

Forward!

Comrades, you can't make it up. Can you say "campaign blunder"? Or is it a blunder? Is it deliberate? The socialist mind at work in campaign mode?

The Obama campaign has picked a portion of one of the most infamous socialist slogans of 20th century history to use as its own new campaign slogan.

"Forward" is the new Obama slogan, Team Obama borrowing boldly from none other than the late Communist Party of China leader Chairman Mao.

Mao's slogan? "The Great Leap Forward."

It is no blunder in their minds.

These Marxist hiding behind the democrat/progressive label are absolutly positive their time has come and it is NOW.

They make very little attempt at hiding their socialist/communist/Marxist roots and beliefs.

Even the media has been letting their love of socialism slip out. I remember Bob Beckel, right after the election of the dark lord, commenting on someone calling Odumbo a socialist. Beckel said, “what’s wrong with Socialism?”.

The dream of Cloward & Piven collapsing the system via unsustainable debt has been realized and it will only take some burp in the economic engine to bring the economy to a grinding halt. Just like the housing/mortgage bomb placed by Jimmy Carter went off during this current downturn and nearly destroyed us. This time Mubumble Odumbo has placed economic Hydrogen bombs via galatic debt and when they go off we’ll look like Calcutta India.

If this were the first instance of Obama or his campaign using terms that have been prominently used by marxist and socialist organizations, I would probably think nothing of it. But this is not the first time. His campaign video from a month or so ago, ‘The Road We’ve Traveled’ is very close to the book ‘The Road We Are Traveling’ by Socialist Stuart Chase. And then there is self-avowed Communist Van Jones being appointed as a Special Adviser.

The socialist ties are no longer mere coincidences. Its a pattern.

Even Mitt Romney managed to make a joke out of it.

Even if it goes away and no matter the reason....
They can run but they cannot hide. Their utopia is their only hope and it is their lie.
