Maybe that 'my fellow prisoners' slip wasn't a slip...

Unlike your comparison with McCain, those who compare Obama with the likes of Marx and/or Hitler, actually have something to base their opinion on.

What he says hold meaning to some.

And here I was already to come on and defend McCain-- who I'm not even voting for!



Thanks for coming up with a lie so big it matches the size of the ones they're telling about Obama. Very devious.

Hmmm. McCain brainwashed by the Communist. And George Bush I was the Ambassador to Communist China for many years. Hmmm. Could this explain why everything sold in the U.S. now is made in Communist China? Could this explain why we now suddenly owe trillions of dollars to Communist China? Hmmm.

Sorry, but if you expect me to believe that most of the people making those arguments have actually read primary and scholarly secondary texts on Marx, Hitler, Adam Smith, etc. and actually know what they are talking about, it isn't going to happen.

Propaganda works by stating some fact and then bastardizing the context, conclusions, connections, etc. surrounding that fact. People are encouraged to think they know what they are talking about, without actually having done any real work to find out the answers for themselves. That's why propaganda is so effective.

I wouldn't compare Obama with Hitler, but Marx is fair. He admitted in his book he surrounded himself with Marxists. Those are the kinds of people he feels comfortable with. He wants to redistribute wealth. Yes, very fair comparison.

Do you deny that McCain had communist "associations" for 5½ years?

leftists have been shrieking that bush=hitler for 7 years now, so i'm not terribly troubled if they don't like hearing obama referred to as a marxist.
