McCain/Palin supporters SCREAM about the socialists taking over our country!

This is the modern Republican party.

“It’s now clear that John McCain would rather launch angry, personal attacks than talk about the economy or defend his risky bailout scheme that hands over billions in taxpayer dollars to the same irresponsible Wall Street banks and lenders that got us into this mess – a scheme that guarantees taxpayers will lose money. While Barack Obama ensured that the rescue plan that passed Congress protects taxpayers and homeowners, John McCain’s scheme has been panned by experts and observers from across the political spectrum,” said Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor.

    Obviously those nitwits aren’t paying attention. Socialists already run this country. Their names are George Bush and Henry Paulson. No one ever said Conservatives/Republicans were that smart.

    He’s like Peter Finch, but crazier and with less interesting things to say.

    This man referred to Sen. McCain’s Senatorial colleague (who wasn’t Bernie Sanders) as a ‘socialist’ and Sen. McCain declined to repudiate his comment. This was not some nutjob blogger making a comment that Sen. McCain will never waste his time reading and thus will never be made aware of. This was somebody speaking specifically to him.

    And Sen. McCain let it go.

    It’s pure vitriol seething out of these nutjobs over the last week. I don’t EVER want to hear them mention the angry left again.

    I’m starting to think I’ve walked into some bizzaro world.

    With all the new material that has come out the last few days, I don’t know what to think. These people actually think Obama is a terrorist. That’s fucking scary.

    There is no Republican Party. On September 19, 2008, Paulson demanded $1 trillion dollar entitlement for Party of Corporate Welfare. That is the date the Republican Party formally admitted they are the Party of Corporate Welfare. America does not tolerate corporate welfare. By the way, corporate welfare is socialism at its worst. Maybe we need to remove the word Republican, and substitute Corporate Welfare from now on. It will help those who need crayolas to understand what they do or do not support.

    Remember when they were talking about how scary the Obama rallies were? All that soaring oratory and chanting crowds and women fainting and all that wild talk about “hope” and “change.” Yeah, that was really scary. It was just like the rallies at Nuremberg!

    But seething mobs shouting about their anger and accusing people of treason and terrorism, that’s just real Americans expressing what’s in their hearts.

    Honestly, what are we going to do with these people? If you think they’re angry now, wait until November 5. This gurgling stew of arrogant stupidity and self-pitying vindictiveness has been churning in America’s gut all this long night long, and the nightmare it has brought will never accept that we have the right to awake.

    I had a moment of sympathy today for Ann Althouse, who dared to point out that neither Obama nor Illinois’s “New Party” is actually socialist. You know, socialist as the Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines it: –noun 1. an advocate or supporter of socialism.
    2. (initial capital letter) a member of the U.S. Socialist party.

    Well, we know Obama isn’t a member of that party, so let’s explore the first part.

    Socialism –noun 1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
    2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
    3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

    Then someone put up the 1928 Socialist platform. Please, God, in the last month of this election, let McCain/ Palin declare the following to be abhorrent, unacceptable ideas:

    4. “An adequate national program for flood control, flood relief, reforestation, irrigation, and reclamation.”

    7. “A system of unemployment insurance.”

    9. “A system of health and accident insurance and of old age pensions as well as unemployment insurance.”

    10. “Shortening the workday” and “Securing to every worker a rest period of no less than two days in each week.”

    11. “Enacting of an adequate federal anti-child labor amendment.”

    12. “Abolition of the brutal exploitation of convicts under the contract system and substitution of a cooperative organization of industries in penitentiaries and workshops for the benefit of convicts and their dependents.”

    After watching that clip all I could think was that conservatism has officially jumped the shark.

    Seriously, what is conservatism these days? We’re _nationalizing_ our fucking banks.

    When Lenin did this, it was called Communism.

    Conservatives are the biggest, loudest hyprocrites on the face of the earth. They love to think of themselves as intellectuals, but there’s so much cognitive dissonance going on it’s kind of terrifying.

    In the above analogy, the part of Von Hindenburg will be played by J. Sidney McCain II.

    If and when J. Sidney Von Hindenburg explodes, they will cry “Oh the humanity.”
