I"m guilty"

Differences of opinion and ideology, passionately held, drive the opposition against ObamaCare.
Yet to shut down the effort to overturn ObamaCare’s unpopular assault on freedom and prosperity, the left resorts to a frequently employed tactic. They and their media co-conspirators find whack jobs holding stupid signs — or saying or doing stupid things — and say, “See! Right-wing intolerance, hatred and racism fuel this movement.”
Idiots, wing nuts and haters exist — on both sides of the political spectrum — in a country of 300 million people. Those who threaten and engage in violence should be arrested and prosecuted. Those who use incendiary language should be denounced.
But which “hater” said the following, and where was the condemnation?
“The (George W.) Bush administration and the Nazi and Communist regimes all engaged in the politics of fear. … Indeed, the Bush administration has been able to improve on the techniques used by the Nazi and Communist propaganda machines.” Was it a) Miss Piggy, b) Lady Gaga, c) the Dog Whisperer, or d) George Soros, billionaire Democratic supporter?
“(George W. Bush’s) executive branch has made it a practice to try and control and intimidate news organizations, from PBS to CBS to Newsweek. … And every day, they unleash squadrons of digital brownshirts to harass and hector any journalist who is critical of the President.” a) Dan Rather, b) Katie Couric, c) Helen Thomas, d) Al Gore, Nobel laureate.
“(Republicans are) coming for our children. They’re coming for the poor. They’re coming for the sick, the elderly and the disabled.” a) Mother Teresa, b) the Grim Reaper, c) Jack Bauer, d) Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.
The contest between Democrats and Republicans is “a struggle of good and evil. And we’re the good.” a) Wolverine, b) Spider-Man, c) RoboCop, d) Howard Dean, then-Democratic national chairman.
When asked whether the number and prominence of blacks in the Bush administration suggested a lack of racism, he said, “Hitler had a lot of Jews high up in the hierarchy of the Third Reich.” a) Adolf Eichmann, b) Joseph Goebbels, c) Heinrich Himmler, d) Harry Belafonte, entertainer and liberal activist.
He called President Bush’s perceived lack of help for Katrina victims “ethnic cleansing by inaction” and called it a “calculated … policy.” He added, “So by simply not doing anything to alleviate this … crisis that was so greatly exaggerated by Katrina, they let the hurricane do the ethnic cleansing, and their hands are clean.” a) David Duke, b) Jack the Ripper, c) Jeffrey Dahmer, d) Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.
“When you look at the way the (then-Republican-controlled) House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation. And you know what I’m talking about.” a) Kunta Kinte, b) Harriet Tubman, c) Booker T. Washington, d) then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, former first lady and current secretary of State.
“George Bush let people die on rooftops in New Orleans because they were poor and because they were black.” a) Ming the Merciless, b) Ivan the Terrible, c) Vlad the Impaler, d) Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.
“It’s not ’spic’ or ‘nigger’ anymore. (Instead, Republicans) say, ‘Let’s cut taxes.’” a) Bernie Madoff, b) Bonnie and Clyde, c) Bennie and the Jets, d) Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y.
“You’re damn right; Dick Cheney’s heart’s a political football. We ought to rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him.” a) Dr. Seuss, b) Dr. Oz, c) Dr. J, d) Ed Schultz, MSNBC and radio host.
“We are in danger. The extreme right wing has seized the government. Tonight (John) Ashcroft and the CIA and the FBI and Homeland Security and the IRS can work together. So look out, because without a definition of who is a terrorist, anyone can be. … Martin Luther King could have been. … The right-wing media, the FBI — they are targeting our leadership.” a) Mr. T, b) Flavor Flav, c) Gary Coleman, d) the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
“And what we are dealing with right now in this country is whether we are having a kind of bloodless, silent coup or not. … (George W. Bush) is trying to bring to himself all the power to become an emperor — to create Empire America,” a) Darth Vader, b) Satan, c) the Rev. Pat Robertson, d) Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash.
Lanny Davis, former special counsel to President Bill Clinton, campaigned for Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. Lieberman, despite his reliably left-wing voting record, infuriated the left for supporting the Iraq War. Davis found himself on the receiving end of “hate and vitriol of bloggers on the liberal side of the aisle” and “their extremism, bigotry and intolerance.” A friend and fellow Lieberman supporter, said Davis, became “fearful for his physical safety.”
“I held on to the view,” Davis admitted, “that the left was inherently more tolerant and less hateful than the right. … I have reluctantly concluded that I was wrong. The far right does not have a monopoly on bigotry and hatred and sanctimony.”
The majority of Americans oppose ObamaCare. Their opposition is not racist, fascist or intolerant. Let us work to prevail.
Sticks and stones....whoops...I’m on Medicare...they might terminate me...

Grin. And I bet the delusional bastard is still a Democrat. They don’t let go.
Apparently racist has replaced tea b-—— and right wing extremist as the socialists favorite Saul Alinsky invectives.
“Against ObamaCare?—If you are, then you’re a fascist racist hater”.
NO, it means I am not a socialist. I worked hard for my money and I f-ing resent this govt taking it to give to some non deserving parasite.
Ya I do hate fascist racists.
That is worth repeating.
We are not socialists! Socialism does not "square" with the founding principles of The United States of America. Got that you liberal lurkers out there?
Socialism is un-American and anti-American because it takes away liberties and freedoms, placing far too much control of our lives with the state. Socialism, as a governing principle, has failed everywhere it has been tried. That's right people, socialism has a 100% failure rate at creating a happy, prosperous, free society.
Why would anyone favour it? Seriously, how could anyone get up in the morning and think "Yeah, socialism sucks, but lets work towards it anyway." Are you stupid or otherwise mentally deficient? Are you just plain old insane? Are you so narcissistic (like obama) that you think yourself better than everyone else, that socialism will be ok 'cause you'll be one of the elites in control?
So I can be arrested because I oppose healthcare reform. Come and get me. Served in the military makes me a right wing extremist. Own a gun right wing extremist. Vote republican, makes me a right wing extremist. Believe in God and serve within the Christian Church, makes me a right wing extremist. Believe in law enforcement, makes me a right wing extremist too. Now because of opposition to the healthcare reform (actually it is deformed), this makes me a right extremist. Gee I have a busy life just being an activist without even saying a word yet. Thanks Mr. pantywaist Pissant you have created or saved over 3 million conservatives in 6 months. Keep up the good work, another 2 - 3 million will be created by your own stupidity. Legacy wanted by BO. Invest in Old Spice because he stinks no matter how much you try to mask it over.
Socialism offers NO incentive to excell.
Apparently wanting to keep my money out of the government’s hands makes me a racist...
Who knew?!?
“If you are, then you’re a fascist racist hater”
An invalid statement.
1) Fascists desired MORE government while Tea Party folks want LESS
2) Most Tea Party members would vote for Thomas Sowell in a heartbeat
3) Racism means that one believes one RACE is superior than another...besides a few loon fringe elements in any race,no one believes in this.
4) Many Fascist were pagans. Many Tea Party members are Christian or Jewish.
‘k.
Awwwwwwwwwwwww!
Your post demonstrates the exact goal of controlling who gets medical care.
“Are you sure you want to criticize the leadership, comrade? I hear your child might need surgery or he’ll die. Wouldn’t want him to get denied that procedure on some technical grounds, now would we?”
Actually anyone who cares to look up Benito Mussolini’s definition of what HE called Fascism will see that the definition fits no other person so well as it fits Barack Obama. The same people who call the Tea Party members fascists are supporting the real fascist and all the other little fascists in congress.
It is so ironic to have little baby fascists who don’t even know what they are calling others by their own proper name. There is no limit to the ignorance of the left.
Last week when I was in Florida I actually heard a guy say “why would anyone oppose what Obama is doing - the only reason is that they’re racists”.
Rather than get into a screaming match with an idiot I got up and left.
Ye Gods!
“Why would anyone accuse those opposed to 0bama’s agenda of being ‘racists’ - the only reason is that they can’t defend his policies on their merits.”
Yup. You’re right. I hate fascist racists. I also hate obama care.
