Not so. I've seen Communism first hand, know people who were forced to live through it, and live under it and die of it, quite brutally.
It's the liberal who has never known anything but the good life of freedom who has no concept of what it is (and doesn't appreciate our hard-won freedoms).
It's not textbook in practice, and if you're trying to fit a perfect definition to a person or situation, it won't work. In its "perfect, ideal, theoretical" state, Communism doesn't work. In reality it is stifling in every respect, mind numbing and demoralizing, and that's barely the tip of the iceberg.
That has nothing to do with anything, as Obama isn't a communist and it's incredibly disrespectful of you to say liberals had nothing to do with winning our freedoms especially as a liberal war hero George McGovern died today. I don't recall Dubya and Romney doing a ton of sacrificing for their country. By any right winger's measure, Ronald Reagan is a communist, as he had higher taxes in his presidency and more restrictive gun laws. As I said before, the righties are too dumb to know what communism actually is and the Democratic party has nothing to do with it.
First explain what he has done that justifies thinking he is a communist or socialist and I'll be glad to explain why you are wrong. The innuendo, hearsay, and dubious projections based on vague claims that you've listed below don't really say much at all.

I heard one Obama supporter on a Facebook group recently say she wanted to shut down the Tea Party(a 1st Amendment recognized group). Not to mention he is pals with people like Sandra Fluke who wants to see the 1st Amendment right to religious freedom violated to provide free contraception to women.

Please read it again for better comprehension. Or, perhaps it won't make any difference.

I want to know how Obama can be a Communist/Marxist and simultaneously a radical Muslim. These two groups hate each other. Its like that Dave Chappelle skit about a Black guy who considers himself a White Nationalist.

Communism is an economic system where the government owns controls the means of production. That sure seems to be the economic system that Obama believes in. He certainly despises private enterprise.
