Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: theleveller Date: 14 Oct 08 - 03:43 AM What's wrong with being a socialist? I'm a socialist. The opposite of socialism is fascism. So, as Billy Bragg says: 'Which Side Are You On?' |
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: akenaton Date: 14 Oct 08 - 03:24 AM Sorry posted this on another thread by mistake..A I agree with Carol and Freda, if Mr Obama was a Socialist, or anything resembling a Socialist, his candidature would never have been endorsed by the Democrats. Just look at how the semi-Socialists like Mr Nader or Mr Kuninich are discriminated against in this wonderful "democracy" Mr Obama will have been well vetted before his adoption as Dem presidential candidate to ensure that he won't rock the corporate boat. The fact that he is "black" and talks in euphemisms were handy tools to fool the American public into thinking that he represents "change" Neither of our countries will achieve change without the participation of the ordinary people directly ....call it a "popular movement" call it "revolution"...it does not matter, but the enforced nationalising of the banking system has crossed a very important bridge for the left. If ever we had the chance to take our future into our own hands this is the time. If only Mrs Palin's energy and conviction could be harnessed to left wing ideals, we would be on a rollercoaster ride to to change, independence and the real freedom that we all want. One thing is certain, from the hands of an intellectual, mealy mouthed,corporate lawyer, change will never be delivered....Ake |
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 14 Oct 08 - 03:05 AM Freda, what are you smoking????? |
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: freda underhill Date: 14 Oct 08 - 02:34 AM Americans lost their freedom and liberty when their Supreme Court appointed George Bush President over Al Gore. In a democracy, people vote for their President. Obama is no more a socialist than Scary Palin is a barracuda. All this flying dirt is symptomatic of panic. now is not the time to panic, the time to panic was when George Bush came to power. and look, he's plundered the American economy and triggered a global financial meltdown. anyone who supports the Republicans in these circumstances is acting against their own interests. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: Peace Date: 14 Oct 08 - 01:50 AM Obama is the next President of the USA, socialist or not. |
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: alanabit Date: 14 Oct 08 - 01:34 AM In America, if you can make a charge of "Liberalism" or "Socialism" stick, you have proved that your opponent builds Gulag camps, beats his wife and eats cute kittens in pies... The rest of us, of course, recognise this political sophistication as a beacon to world democracy... |
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 14 Oct 08 - 01:13 AM From: Skivee Date: 13 Oct 08 - 11:52 PM Hmmm. Does that make Sen. McCain an anti-socialist? Just wondering. Not at all, just the right wing of the socialist party. They are working toward the same thing....isn't that obvious? |
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: Sawzaw Date: 14 Oct 08 - 12:34 AM 9 Members of the Communist Party USA explain their support for Obama |

Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: dick greenhaus Date: 13 Oct 08 - 11:45 PM I guess if he was endorsed by the UAW he'd be an auto worker. Or if NOW endorsed him, he'd be a woman. |
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: CarolC Date: 13 Oct 08 - 11:41 PM Like I said on another thread, if Obama was a socialist, he would have the approval of the socialists here in the Mudcat. He does not have their support. One of them is even supporting Palin, so I guess that makes her a socialist. The Republicans really have become a bunch of socialists. They practice corporate socialism, which has been described above - privatize the profits and socialize the risk/loss. The Republicans have turned the United States of America into the ultimate nanny/welfare state. |
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: artbrooks Date: 13 Oct 08 - 11:35 PM Obama is a socialist? Sorry, not so. And, by most hyper-left standards, neither are the Democratic Socialists of America. |
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist From: TIA Date: 13 Oct 08 - 11:10 PM Nothing is more socialist than the bail-out cooked up by the Republican Administration. Privatize the profits, socialize the loss. And please, let's nationalize the insurance industry by buying AIG. Oh yeah, please protect us from socialism. Thanks a lot asshat. |
Subject: BS: Obama is a socialist From: Sawzaw Date: 13 Oct 08 - 10:58 PM http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-international-socialist-connections/ Obama's socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul Mendelson, one of the "champions" of "Chicago's democratic left" and a long-time socialist activist. Obama's stint as a "community organizer" in Chicago has gotten some attention, but his relationship with the DSA socialists, who groomed and backed him, has been generally ignored. |
