   Quit calling Obama a socialist. He is nothing of the sort and there is a very specific reason for this

It's because the political landscape in America has been shifting to the right for a long time now and there's hardly any true left wing politicians in federal politics.

No, I didn't bother to read the stupid Townhall bullshiat.

Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely -- and correctly -- regarded as being on the political left.

Revisionism makes the world so pretty.

What's really annoying about this shiat is that it's the lack of evidence that President Obama has any sort of nefarious, wicked plans for us that's used to "prove" that he is a Commie Fascist Muslin Nazi Socialist. For example, you'll get the "OMG FARTBONGO IS GONNA TAKE AWAY OUR GUNS!!!11!!", to which you point out that in President Obama's first term, there have been no meaningful efforts to restrict gun ownership, and that he has, in actuality, actually expanded the right to gun ownership.

The response back, then, is "He's waiting for his second term to do all that stuff!"

That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector.

There is absolutely no parallels to be drawn between this criticism and the GOP's rampant defense spending for non-competitive governmental contracts to the military industrial complex.

/fark you "conservatives" you love big government and pork barrell spending as long as it goes to the special interests that fund your campaigns.

Thomas Sowell breaks out the old "liberals are fascists" canard. These guys must really be getting desperate. Franco and Pinochet were loved by the right wing yet they seem to have gotten a pass. Likewise Mussolini took power by breaking the ruling Leftist party national strike and sending them back to their employers. He would have made Walker proud.

OK, I physically cannot bring myself to click on a Townhall link, or its even more retarded cousin, American Thinker. What's the comments section like? Because their target audience truly and genuinely believes Obama is a Socialist without the slightest understanding what a Socialist actually is.

Many socialist actually hate Fascist and communists.

Both Communists and Fascist get rid of Unions saying the state should decide what they make just like the Republicans who want to get rid of collective bargaining want.

The Townhall link references Jonah Goldberg's book: "Liberal Facism" about how Liberals are Facists because the book "Liberal Facism" is about Facists who are Liberal and FURTHERMORE

Anytime this POS is brought up, you need to first read this article:

and know at least some people know what a hack he is.

I know, theres not really a right wing party anymore. The Republicans today are spend thrifty socialist feeding the military industrial complex. It would be awesome if we had a real small government party to vote for, but no, we got the cluster fark of Republicans.

The removal of outlawing labor unions and removal of labor laws has historically been the early warning signs for a political party attempting fascist/communist control over a government. Other warning signs include propaganda that is counter to reality and even counter to the actual definition of words.

Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should blame the economy all on Obama or call him a fascist for trying to take control of the economy? Mean to say, if'n it's his fault, he can't rightly be tryin' to take control. And if'n he has no control of the economy, it's not a-gonna be his fault.
