Pundits escalate attacks against Obama Carla Marinucci,Joe Garofoli, Chronicle Staff Writers Thursday, April 9, 2009 PRINT E-MAIL SHARE COMMENTS (1905) FONT | SIZE:

It took fewer than 100 days for conservative critics to start lobbing the F-bomb at President Obama.

"F" as in "fascist."

Take Glenn Beck, the bombastic Fox News host, who in recent weeks has repeatedly used the term - along with references to Mussolini and pictures of Hitler and Lenin - to describe Obama's efforts to revive struggling banks and automakers.

The American Spectator, a conservative publication, earlier this month ran an essay on Obama titled "Il Duce, Redux?"

And TownHall.com's David Limbaugh went even further: He called Obama the head of a "Gestapo government" during a recent San Francisco radio interview.

After 8 years of constantly bashing Bush, it is finally not cool to bash the President.

Calling a Spade a Spade. Get used to it Libtards.

I posted on that thread. On SFGate, I’m “steve_stiffler.”

“Il Duce redux”? Do they visit this site...they stole that from me!?

[goodnesswins]

They can GIVE it OUT, but they CAN’T TAKE IT.....or....FREE speech for ME, but not for THEE.....the usual liberal (fascist) meme.

The bug is, if you know what fascism is, you cannot deny that what the “ill douche” is doing is ... wait for it ... fascism!

“Pose look familiar???”

Yes it does. I've been saying for a long time that Hussein has been mimicking Mussolini's arrogant posture.

Pose look familiar???
Why yes it does!

“Fascist” should be used over and over again. It’s accurate and it bothers the left.

I'll never call Mister Obama a "Facist". The word has too many connotations. Also, some people are inured to the term.

I believe that one could make rational, empirical observations that Mister Obama conducts himself more like a collectivist-redistributionist-Marxist than a free-marketer, more like a muslim than the Christian he pretends to be, and more like an America-hating apologist than any president in our rich and diverse history.

I'll add that Mister Obama has (to this non-psychologist's eyes) all the listed symptoms of a malignant narcissist, and that he is completely unable to speak without a teleprompter (raising a worry that he might be being programed by a cabal of far lefties who do his thinking for him).

All of this, but not a "facist".

Haha they’re up in arms over “Fascist”? What about all the “George Bush is a NAZI” over the last 8 years? What about all the George Bush assassination films?

[SandRat]

They can dish the dirt out but they can’t take it.

[goodnesswins]

YEP....use Alinsky’s rules on THEM!

[Semper Mark]

“All of this, but not a facist.”

But he is a fascist. How are any any of the symptoms that you described any different from Hitler or Mussolini?

Excellent! One day I have to learn photoshop.

[Just A Nobody]

a collectivist-redistributionist-Marxist

And 98% of the population would not have clue what you were saying.
I prefer islamofascist-communist-foreign born bastard.
