"Talk about playing into the most extreme stereotype of your party, that it is infested with socialists."

Which is accurate.

[Hugin]

The problem is half of Americans think socialism sounds like a good thing.

[GnuHere]

I wish the “Senator Government” moniker would get repeated on an hourly basis.

"This professor said that Obama was as close to a full-out Marxist as anyone who has ever run for president of the United States."

Calling Captain Obvious.....

[TexasCajun]

Just say no to SENATOR GOVERNMENT!

[stockstrader]

"SPREADING THE WEALTH AROUND"---is just what socialist do!!

It's like breathing to everyone else--it comes naturally, and with absolutely no effort!!

"From each according to his ability,,,,etc.

[notaliberal]

Talking about spreading the wealth--HOW MUCH DID OBAMA AND HIS WIFE GIVE TO CHARITY? (not counting the last two to three years when he decided to run for president- we know that was contrived) Oh! I get it, typical lib--giving is for thee not for me!

[Thane_Banquo]

It is free market capitalism, not socialist redistribution, that has been conclusively demonstrated to “spread the wealth” more widely and more deeply than any other economic system.

“A while back I chatted with a University of Chicago professor who was a frequent lunch companion of Obama’s. This professor said that Obama was as close to a full-out Marxist as anyone who has ever run for president of the United States.”

Who? Milton Friedman? Leo Strauss? Richard Posner? Antonin Scalia? T.S. Eliot?

[jrooney]

Yes he did.

[stockstrader]

"SPREADING THE WEALTH AROUND"?

Spreading? SPREADING??

What a wonderfully sugar-coated euphemism for,

CONFISCATION"!!!

[Savagemom]

I just got one of those emails going around that said:

‘A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover
they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.’

‘From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who
promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that
every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is
always followed by a dictatorship.’

It would be a shame if a few well-populated, greedy regions of our country tore down the whole system.

Don Fanucci: Young man, I hear you and your friends are stealing goods. But you don’t even send a dress to my house. No respect! You know I’ve got three daughters. This is my neighborhood. You and your friends should show me some respect. You should let me wet my beak a little. I hear you and your friends cleared $600 each. Give me $200 each, for your own protection. And I’ll forget the insult. You young punks have to learn to respect a man like me! Otherwise the cops will come to your house. And your family will be ruined. Of course, if I’m wrong about how much you stole, I’ll take a little less. And by less, I only mean - a hundred bucks less. Now don’t refuse me. Understand, paisan? Understand, paisan?... Tell your friends I don’t want a lot. Just enough to wet my beak. Don’t be afraid to tell them!

I believe that this has become the narrative that John McCain will ride to victory. I can't believe Obama allowed himself to get caught saying something so stupid, but I can only think that God put Joe the Plumber in that spot at that time to talk to Obama and elicit that response from him.

I was at the Stop the Obama rally in Carson City, NV yesterday. Deborah John was one of the speakers. She told us how her son was able to get through to a bunch of liberal classmates.

He asked the McCain supporters to go to one side of the room and Obama supporters go to the other. He asked why each group was for their candidate. Then he hit the Obama supporters with this:

Let's say you were in a really tough class. You work you bum off all semester - doing all of your assignments, studying for all of your tests, pulling an A in the class.

Now, there are a few students who aren't doing anything but barely skating by. Missing assignments, D's or F's on tests and tanking the final exam.

Now, final grades are given out and your grade is a C+. You go to the teacher to find out what happened to your A. The teacher informs you that - in order to be fair - your A has been redistributed to help those students who didn't work as hard as you did.

Then the Obama supporters were asked their feeling on this. The Obama-nites were outraged. Comments like, "That's wrong", "That's not fair", etc. Then the speaker looked at them and said:

You are on the wrong side of the room!

we’re headed into a recession. more like ‘spread the misery around’.

More than 8 of every 10 members in Congress lack an education in business, economics, or finance.

Would the professor's initials be W.A.!

Um, he IS a full-out Marxist, and if elected, we're likely to see him reveal his Stalinist side as well...

[Red Badger]

....Obama was as close to a full-out Marxist as anyone who has ever run for president of the United States.

Yes, he's been close to several "full-out Marxists"............
