"This fits the pattern, make a joke about a real concern, laugh about it with his supporters and the media."

This is how the immature are made to comply...mostly college age persons and the willingly sheepish group thinkers. It is a form of psychological control/manipulation and abuse that the left so proficient uses when they want to deflect. It is a sort of psychological warning..."don't go there or you are out".

Actually, beck is wrong. Zero is a fascist, not a marxist.

During his town hall meeting in Maryland today on the debt crisis, President Obama found time to answer critics who think his position (and positions) have a socialist flavor. And he joked about it. “This isn’t just some wild-eyed socialist position, it’s the position being taken by people of both parties and no party,“ he said with with a smirk as the audience chuckled and after talking about ”shared sacrifice.”

Funny guy.

An actual, diagnostic characteristic of Malignant Narcissistic sociopaths is joking at inappropriate times about inappropriate subjects.

Bingo. He does that all the time - and the press laughs right along with him. .

“revenues”

The new talking point from the left. The word taxes will now be deleted from the English language.

Yes, Obama routinely gets it wrong when something serious and/or tragic strikes America.

Obama at Fort Hood, following the massacre (by a Muslim) of unarmed US servicemen and women:

“I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It’s good to see you.”

Unfortunately, the truth is much more boring than that: he's just a run-of-the mill modern European-style social democrat.

He wants a big, redistributive welfare state funded by high and progressive taxes, together with powerful labor unions. I've seen no evidence that he wants to foment a violent proletarian revolution to sieze the means of production, as a Marxist would. Neither have I seen any evidence that he wants to restrict all economic activity to state-approved industrial cartels and labor syndicates, as a facist would.

Of course, I'm willing to be corrected if someone shows me some evidence.

GM, Chrysler, and GE all all examples of Fascism, as is ACORN, the SEIU, the UAW, and, oddly enough, the Indiana Teacher’s Union Retirement Fund - the senior chrysler bondholder Obama gave a haircut to give the money to FIAT and the UAW.

All illegal, all examples of the regime picking winners and losers, outside the law, but according to the whim of the ruler.

That IS fascism. It is the definition of the thing.

Oh stop that. I sent you two links, documenting Obama’s hardcore, revolutionary marxism in his own words, and you didn’t read either one.

Your tagline says it all - fascism will come to america, not calling itself fascism, but calling itself anti-fascism.

Who did I steal that from? I forget.

Fascism is already creeping in on little cat's democrat party feet, and sits looking out over the nation. It seeks to destroy the Republic and then move on.
