And the author of this was cheering all along the way. Scheer is a useful idiot for the leninists who want to create the USSA.

Woodrow Wilson brought socialism to America.

[thecabal]

So this moron says deregulation cause socialism? Can I get some of what he’s smoking?

[TChris]

Umm... Hate to break it to you this way, bub. Socialism has been growing in the USA for a very long time.

Yes, this latest circus is giving the S-word a big growth spurt, but it couldn't have happened without Americans being first softened up to the idea over the years.

I have to admit that there’s some truth to what he says here.

[Sender]

Scheer madness. George Bush caused cosmic rays, mad cow disease, Islamic terrorism and paper cuts.

But don't you dare blame the coming socialism on that socialist community organizer who is about to occupy the former White House.

[Centurion2000]

Let the record show that it was George W. Bush, the rich Texas Republican, who brought socialism to America

To SanFran Pole Smoker,
Let the record show that socialism in America got it's start with Woodrow Wilson (D) (Income Tax, Direct Election of Senators, World War I) and FDR (may he burn in hell, too many issues to list)

Republicans are not socialists and the democrats are for all intents and purposes the new Communists in America.

robert scheer, formerly of the l.a. times,

wanted the leader of no korea, kim jong 1’s

writings translated into english

because scheer thought these to be instructive for americans.

It looked like the housing system worked well, that is until the crooks found that they could steal millions and stick the government with the bill. It appears that the Democrats loosened the rules so the folks could purchase a new home, even though they could never afford to pay for it. Congress was told this would never work, but they ignored the warning. Am I wrong?

[sazerac]

Why do people think that letting millions of workers be suddenly laid off is a good thing? We are a compassionate people and will never allow things like letting people die in the waiting room because they don’t have insurance.

Everybody knows capitalism is the only system that works. Let’s just get through this recession without miles of soup lines for unemployed people.

[weegee]

Let’s see, Democrats inside these companies brought them down. Democrats in Congress blocked any attempts at reform and investigation for YEARS.

And there is evidence that Secretary Paulson may be a Democrat.

Looting the treasury is a sure way to bring down this nation and elections turn on the economy.

This is like saying that it was Republicans in the 1920s who ushered in Socialism in the 1930s.

And yes Bush is wrong to sign any of this.

[SolidWood]

LOL. What was FDR then?

BTW it's funny that the SanFranCronicle acts like they dislike socialism.

[Right Wing Assault]

I don’t think Bush actively sought it (until recently) but as LVR said, he mostly just allowed it to happen.

“Robert Scheer, Creators Syndicate Inc. “

What are you, like, 16 or something? Learn some freakin’ history before you let your Mommy write your (so-called) article.

[FrankR]

The author of that article is up obama's butt so far he's forgotten what sunshine looks like.

No one said obama "brought" socialism to America...but you ain't seen nothing yet; just wait until he gets in office.

Insofar as all of these latest event being on "Bush's watch", I think he'd better back that timeline up only as far as the beginning of the Pelosi congress.

All of the press/dems (what's the difference) have received their "blame it on Bush" hymnbooks and are all singing off the same page.

Blaming Bush is their version of "carbon credits" (we'll call them obama credits)...a convenient way to blame Bush for whatever obama may screw up for the rest of his life. Obama has been inoculated against any failure with the Bush vaccine.

Maybe GW can put in a bid with the Governor of Illinois for Obama's old senate seat.

Another one trying to re-write history. Bush sent Regulators in to put limitations on marginal loans, but Maxine Waters, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Ron Meaks, and others pretty much called the Regulators racist and they all told the American people that there was no problem with Freddie Mack and Fannie Mae. This is where the problem comes from. Let us not forget that it is the demoratically controlled congress who is getting these bailouts through.

[svcw]

He is insane.

[domeika]

Wow, what a delusional idiot. This meltdown is the result of bad loans made possible by bad polititians, i.e. democrats. They are responsible for the un-needed institutions Fannie and Freddie, and also responsible for blocking any and every attempt to reign them in. To add to that, some of the biggest players on Wall street with their hands in this mess are democrats as well, and likewise big democrat donors. This whole melt-down can be traced right back to their doorstep, and that’s the last thing they, meaning the democrats and their media lackeys, want the average American to find out. Leftist schills like this bottom-feeder would love for people to believe that this mess was caused by Republicans and that’s why they are trying to chant it over and over hoping that people eventually believe it. We can’t let them. We need to remind people that when life sucks and taxes are too high they have these slimy socialist commie troglodytes to thank for it.

[randog]

...so don't blame it on that African American Chicago Democrat community organizer who made it into the White House.

I guess we'd better get ready for these kinds of comparisons. A "community organizer" when things are dicey (e.g., "...we can't expect a former community organizer to solve a problem of this magnitude overnight..."), a "messiah" when things are going well.
