Why would the media and corporations be communist? Wouldn't that be counterproductive.

Moreover, was Bush chosen by the communist elite? Because if their goal is a large government debt, every president since Reagan (and including Reagan) accomplished that. Really, Clinton is the only one that slowed it down even a little bit.

Forget whether Obama is a good president or not, I'm just trying to pick your brain on the whole 'communist elite choosing Obama' thing.

Who said that black folks became elites. You people have a comprehension problem. Re-read what was posted lol

Obama was handpicked by the elites. "yes masta"

Corporations and elites are the biggest Communists. The bigger the bank account, the redder they are.

Did anyone actually watch the interview? It doesn't appear so, since no one is commenting on what he actually said. Everyone instead is vying to be the 10 millionth internet poster to say that Thomas is taciturn. When face it, none of you would know oral arguments from oral sex. You're just regurgitating something that you read on HuffPo and think it makes you sound oh-so intelligent.

He said that if Pres Obama had not shared the values of the elite and MSM, they would have torn him asunder, which is doubtless true. And Thomas comes pretty close to implying that it would be done on the basis of race (while leaving himself a small window of plausible deniability, after all he's a lawyer).

And Thomas is doubtless right. What would the media done with '57 states,' with the teleprompter goofs, with not knowing the def of 'beg the question,' etc. if Obama had been a conservative? Always remember, birtherism arose out of the Hillary '08 camp, not from the right.

He was referring to the non black voters, the Black vote by itself isn't enough to get anyone elected as President.

Not that I agree with his premise, but he is correct about Obama's hold on the media.

Obama had more charisma AND BS to win over votes than those he ran against.

By "elites" I assume you mean the primary voters in the early states in 2008. Many of whom were, you know, black. And/or poor -- right? Because only lazy shiftless poor people vote for Obama.

Not sure if you're joking. In case you are serious, I'll give a serious response.

Doesn't that fly in the face of every logic? Does communism not call for radically sharing the wealth (among other things)? Would that not hurt those who are already rich? Why wouldn't they prefer an unregulated capitalistic economy, in which they aren't burdened with any taxes and don't have to worry about safety regulations or anything else like that?

EDIT: After reading your other posts, it's pretty clear you're joking. Understand that with the some of the posters around here, you can never be sure if someone is being sarcastic, no matter how crazy the post is.

I have more in my savings now than I did five years ago. That is because I saved it. Bush nor Obama helped me. Plus I'm not sure you get how communism works. They are not usually elected fairly. Sorry, but Obama was. Just like Bush was......well the second time anyway.

When Obama was elected. He gave all the power to black folks and took it away from the white folks, payback is a *****. At least that's what the right wing blogs are saying
