Finally, as for being called a "socialist", well I guess the right has been successful in turning 55% of Americans into mindless rubes:

I would never underestimate the stupidity of the average American.

The majority of Americans also don't believe in evolution and can't name a single Supreme Court Justice but do believe in Ghosts.

Boo.

If the right had been so diligent about calling Obama peanut butter as they have calling him a socialist, the public at large would associate Obama with peanut butter.

Why is Paul McCartney up there?

I guess he is a "fringe" guy after all. Still amused that 20 months after Bush has left people still out there ripping on him personally (as opposed to policy reasons).

Aww, poor Obama gettin' his wittle feewings hurt. I will do a quick search of this forum for your concern over Palin being called stupid all the time, or that she was credited with making the "I can see Russia from my house" quote.

Wow, I didn't think my post would fly so far over your head. Sorry about that.

My point was that if you attach a label to someone enough times people will associate the person with that label, even when the label is completely inaccurate.

I don't really know how you got anything about hurt feelings from that.

Amazes me too; I thought intelligent people served as officers of our court system...

You brought Bush into this, not me.

How many states are there....

I know. I wasn't really calling you out on this. Just that the "fringe" in this country is not behaving as such any more and the detractors on both sides are both loud and influential.

How many 'morans' does the tea party have?



Do they not realize that the 'guvmint' runs Medicare and has since the 60s?

I guess my analogy to Sarah Palin being tagged with the "I can see Russia from my house" quote went over your head because that is exactly in line with your point. The fact is, Palin NEVER said that, but that doesn't stop dooshbags in this forum and throughout the country from saying/believing she did.

As for the socialist tag on Obama; do you believe it is unwarranted? He brought that all on himself by telling JTP that it was good to "spread the wealth around". Oh, and here's Al Sharpton arguing this country voted for socialism when it elected Obama:

And in those states, how many are fans of the Nitaly Lions or were former corpse-men?

Good for Al. Please identify which elected officials of the Democratic Party have claimed that Sarah Palin said that.

I shouldn't be asking, as it grants credence to your false equivalence, but I really am interested to know. "Stupid" or "smart" is a relative opinion. "Socialist" or "capitalist" is a fact.

P.S. Your post seemed more to be about Obama getting his "poor feewings hurt" than anything else. I guess I misread the tone.

Come on, politics is a bloodsport. That's why I care very little about politicians who get their feelings hurt over labeling. I just want consistency in the treatment each side gets from the other side. BTW, Obama can take it, and so can Palin (and they each "take it" just fine and don't need us covering for them).
