FRESNO, Calif.—U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina is distancing herself from a California business owner who called President Barack Obama a "narcissistic Marxist" after one of her campaign appearances.

[pissant]

nlin's president, Tom Vidmar, did not speak at the event. But in an interview with The Fresno Bee, Vidmar called the president a "narcissistic Marxist because everything he does is for himself and he doesn't like this country."

This guy has the boy marxist pegged.

[GeronL]

iCarly looks weaker and weaker by the day

[Walkingfeather]

“narcissistic communist” Fixed...

[kbennkc]

She doesn’t think he’s a narcissist ?

[outofstyle]

iCarly looks weaker

Yep.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

The adjective “squishy” comes to mind.

What a marshmallow.

[Oceander]

Ok, so we’ve got some basic issues with, shall we say, tactfulness, perhaps, but nonetheless, however rough the unvarnished truth may be, it is still the truth.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You should never refer to a narcissistic Marxist as a “narcissistic Marxist”. It hurts their feelings.

[ETL]

“He [Obama] was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth,” says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.

“The idea was basically that wealthy people were exploiting others,” Drew says. “That this was the secret of their wealth, that they weren’t paying others enough for their work, and they were using and taking advantage of other people. He was convinced that a revolution would take place, and it would be a good thing.”

Drew concluded that Obama thought of himself as “part of an intelligent, radical vanguard that was leading the way towards this revolution and towards this new society.” ..."

Referring to Obama’s quote from “Dreams of My Father” that he associated with Marxist professors, Drew says, “What he’s not saying is that he was in 100 percent total agreement with those Marxist professors. When you understand that, Obama’s later associations and policies make more sense, including why he was taken in by Rev. Wright’s ideology.”

(prior to the election)

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

After the election....

A Landslide Mandate For Change

A breakthrough election
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!

We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.

The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.

There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.

The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Change is Here, Change is Coming

Sam Webb, National Chair, Communist Party, USA:

Let me begin with a simple observation: If the last 30 years were an era of reaction, then the coming decade could turn into an era of reform, even radical reform. Six months into the Obama presidency, I would say without hesitation that the landscape, atmosphere, conversation, and agenda have strikingly changed compared to the previous eight years.

In this legislative session, we can envision winning a Medicare-like public option and then going further in the years ahead.

We can visualize passing tough regulatory reforms on the financial industry, which brought the economy to ruin.

We can imagine the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan while U.S. representatives participate in a regional process that brings peace and stability to the entire region.

In the current political climate, the expansion of union rights becomes a real possibility.

Much the same can be said about winning a second stimulus bill, and we sure need one, given the still-rising rate, and likely long term persistence, of unemployment.

Isn’t it possible in the Obama era to create millions of green jobs in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy in tandem with an attack on global warming?

Can’t we envision taking new strides in the long journey for racial and gender equality in this new era, marked at its beginning by the election of the first African American to the presidency?

And isn’t the overhaul of the criminal justice and prison system – a system steeped in racism – no longer pie-in-the sky, but something that can be done in the foreseeable future?

All these things are within reach now!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Obama IS a marxist!

[Wyatt's Torch]

Don’t back away from the truth!

[Saundra Duffy]

“narcissistic Marxist because everything he does is for himself and he doesn’t like this country.”

Sounds ‘bout right.

[Steamburg]

Hopefully, for a change, it’s a conservative making a head fake to the left rather than the norm of Marxists making a head fake to the right. Kaliefornia isn’t going to get better than Fiorina for at least a generation.

[PugetSoundSoldier]

He’s not a Marxist at all; he’s a fascist. Marxists are at least “noble” in their demand that everyone is equal; fascists want everyone ELSE to be equal (with themselves more than equal).

He’s a narcissistic fascist, not a Marxist.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

IMHO you are rationalizing, since you have financial interests in marxism.

[pissant]

He’s a marxist. He wouldn’t know what fascism is. ALL of his mentors were marxists. And believe it or not, the marxists at the top of the heap knew very well that they would have the power and riches while the peasants remained “equal”.

Ever see a poor marxist dictator?

[red flanker]

If that indicates weakness, then start the clock on a statement from Chuck Dewore to fully support the statement from the businessman. After all, he is no longer in the race and a clear public statement from him calling the Θbama "a marxist who hates the country," should definitely prove that Dewore has the political strength and political acumen you so cherish.
