If you know Brattus' point, maybe if you could spell it out, one of you would make yourselves clear before the end of the century.

I do believe that comment was directed at Brattus, not you.

Think West is an isolated nut job? Think again. Fox News is gearing up the "Obama is a secret communist" campaign narrative.

Sean Hannity last night did a piece on Van Jones citing his embracing of communism when he was young (don't know if it's true nor do I care). From this Hannity went on to tell all of us that we need to be very afraid of Obama who is hiding his secret communist agenda and beliefs.

Here's the piece.

Hannity's web page has 12 additional volumes of "the real Barack Obama" all with similar themes.

A quick Google search turns up thousands of attacks on Obama because he's a commie. The accusation has been continual for years.

OBAMA'S COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST ACTIVITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS
Yes it is a nut job web page. They claim to be "Exposing communists in the US government." But this narrative is being echoed and amplified by the Republic Party and its ally, Fox News. This commie theme is being amplified with a vengeance for the 2012 election.


Be afraid, be very afraid. :rolleyes:

Are you aware Frank Marshall Davis was Obama’s communist mentor?

Are you aware that Obama has kept and/or appointed conservatives to run the Fed and manage the banking scandal? Much to the consternation of Democrats who wanted progressives?

This BS about Obama being a communist would be kinda funny if Obama didn't act like Bush in his appointment of conservative ideologues with banking connections to important positions.

Geitner, Curdray, Bernanke? Communist? Dude...

Nothing in that link makes West's statement right. He's wrong. Those members are not communists. Even your own link to that insanely slanted wiki does not support his assertion.

Maybe you were in such a panic that you failed to read this:
Many members were and continue to be linked to DSA and/or the Communist Party USA, IPS or other radical organizations.

Keith Ellison co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

In August 2006, the Communist Party USA welcomed Ellison's probable election to Congress, comparing him to the late far left senator Paul Wellstone[4].
If Keith Ellison is elected in November to represent Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, he will bring to the U.S. House of Representatives a fresh progressive voice in tradition of Paul Wellstone. He will also be the first African American congressman from Minnesota and the first Muslim in the U.S. Congress.Ellison is a well-known civil rights attorney and an established progressive leader in the Minnesota House of Representatives. He received the Democratic Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party’s endorsement at the district convention in May, enjoys strong support from organized labor, and has been endorsed by the state AFL-CIO.Peace and justice activists have been volunteering in increasing numbers in the Ellison campaign to refocus attention on Ellison’s program. Ellison calls for immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, a universal, single-payer health care system, protection and extension of civil rights to all, including gays and lesbians, and responsible stewardship of the environment. In the Minnesota House, Ellison supported legislation to raise the minimum wage. He has spoken at peace rallies in the Twin Cities area. He pledged to fight all attempts to erode the Voting Rights Act. He founded the Environmental Justice Advocates of Minnesota.

I'm not sure what that proves but I really don't give a ****. Paranoia over communism is so 1950s. There is no pathway to Communism for America. Not even close. It's such an absurd and silly bit of demagoguery that those who engage in it really do need to be mocked and derided.

Linked by them. That's nonsesne, and I suspect you know it. Using fear of communism to drum up support is a time honored and reprehensible tactic of Nazis.

And you have the gall to imply that others aren't real patriotic Americans and how patriots are supposed to think. This is an attempt to cow others to think as you want them to in order to silence dissent. Another Nazi classic.

Really, you didn't think it wouldn't be painfully transparent? Or am I falling for a Poe here?

But let's go with your 'patriotic' thinking. If being linked to something makes you that thing, then I'm a very conservative Christian Republican. I've had mentors who were such, I have friends who are that right now! As a very conservative Christian Republican in good standing, I find your tactics and spin reprehensible and unbecoming a white Christian conservative. In fact another group who used those same tactics besides Nazis? Communists. That of course links you to communists, making you...

A red herring!

I don't cower in fear of non-existent threats. When was the last time a country became Communist? How many modern liberal Democracies have become Communist?

A true patriot (if such a thing exists) believes that the strength of what makes America great is greater than any ideology. America's strength lies in Democracy and freedom of speech and conscience. A true patriot believes in America without demagoguery and sophistry. A true patriot doesn't silently accept convention and the status quo. The founders gave us the means to choose for ourselves and they had faith that true patriots wouldn't blindly fear any ideology. It was this lack of trust of citizens that helped bring about the fall of Soviet Union, that has kept Cuba and North Korea hobbled. We don't need a Stazi or prior restraint of ideas.

I'm happy to be a capitalist. A patriot. An American.

Part of me wants to laugh, part of me is concerned how many people believe this nonsense.

But the biggest part of me wants to ask, how'd that 1950s thing work out for you?

That's interesting. It shows that the Communists would rather see A progressive Democrat win a seat instead of a teatard.

They would probably rather see a law-abiding citizen whack a child molester whom he caught in an act.

This is to say,
"SO FREAKING WHAT?"

West is still a turd in the national punch bowl, a sorry excuse for a leader or a man and a total whackadoodle.
