Clinton Mocks Allen West Calling Democratic Representatives Communists: ‘This Isn’t The 1950s’
Mediaite ^ | June 5, 2012 | Noah Rothman

Posted on 06/05/2012 11:26:01 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Former President Bill Clinton mocked Rep. Allen West (R-FL) at a fundraising event for President Barack Obama on Monday night. Clinton mocked West’s claim that House Democrats were communists – he said that “this isn’t the 1950s” and “no one has seen a communist in over a decade.”

Clinton praised the work that Obama has accomplished in his first term in office and said that he’s had to accomplish the reforms he has instituted amid significant adversity. “He’s had to get all this done while people as recently as last week were still saying he wasn’t born in America,” said Clinton.

Clinton continued by targeting House Republicans, singling out Rep. West who he described as one of the “tea party members.” Clinton became animated when he highlighted Rep. West’s comments where he implied that the House Progressive Caucus were communists.

“This is not the 1950s,” said Clinton. “At least Joe McCarthy could skate on the fact that there was one or two living communists walking around. Nobody’s seen a communist in over a decade.”

Clinton concluded saying that “no criticism [of President Obama by Republicans] was too vicious and too fact-free.”

Wow, look how far we’ve come along the path to socialism/communism without the messiah’s help. And just think of the “progress” we can make with Obama.

It’s like an article about the Argentine oil seizure. The article actually said the the nationalization was not socialism per se because the government has appointed a CEO and Board of Directors to replace the Spaniards.

Mussolini coined a term for that. Fascisimo.

No, in the 1950’s you’d be ashamed to be a Commie, now it’s a DNC plank.

Read “You can still trust the communists to be communists”,
and watch the move “Agenda: Grinding America Down”,

and you’ll see what they’ve done, what they’re doing, and how they operate.

Hillary’s a communist, but she’s one of the smarter ones, the Fabians. She probably thinks 0bama’s blowing it by being revolutionary instead of evolutionary.

I think she is right. That is why I have always considered her more dangerous.
Too late, Hill!

The democrat party in this country has been dedicated to founding a ruling nobility ever since it was founded.

When they saw how much more marketable fascist economics were than communism, they adopted fascist economic approaches and only held onto the progressives and communists who they had attracted because they knew useful idiots when they saw them. There are plenty of communists still around and Herr Klinton knows it. He also knows who has the other end of the leash they're on which is why he goes straight to Alynsky prescribed ridicule whenever the subject comes up.

It’s getting to where I have to check every article to see if it’s satire. Nobody has seen a communist in over a decade? Did China disappear?

I don’t think Bill’s a true believer in communism.
He’s simply a leftist because the women are “easier”.

You’re correct Bill, in the 50’s they were not open about their communist affiliations.

"Nobody’s seen a communist in over a decade."

That is akin to the biggest lie ever: the devil tries to convince us that he does not exist.

This is ripe— Taco Bill “Run for the Border” Clin ton is mocking Col Allen West.This isn’t the 1950’s Well tell me Mr.Bill (If you know what the meaning if “is” “IS”?) Is there ANY indication that the Communist dialectic has changed one iota since the 1950’s? Is there even a shred of evidence that the bloody freaking anti-American Communist Party USA does not indeed control —or dictate the issues defended by the Democratic Socialists (sic “progressives” in America since the 1960s’?Tell Me Mr.Bill America wants to know why the Democratic Party is so damn divisive and unAmerican.

It's as least as bad, but it's been able to stealth itself. Partially by pasting a smiley-face on itself (as in, the cover of Jonah Goldberg's book), and the further indoctrination and dumbing-down of another two generations of school kids.

They can't see it as the deadly threat it is. Liberals ignore history, they've been convinced the powers that be are benevolent, and mean well for them. History would tell them about what absolute power does to the power-hungry. It would tell them what John Adams said, that "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

It's pretty obvious we're losing that too, otherwise we wouldn't see the Freak Show we see in politics and banking.
