rudy23 (1000+ posts) Fri May-15-09 02:53 PMOriginal message I'm very disturbed by the campaign to vilify us on the "far left" for criticizing Obama For one, it seems pretty orchestrated. That's disturbing enough. It's very disturbing to see the name calling towards those that are simply advocating transparency, and adherence to the law. Reasoned debate has its place with this issue, but the name calling seems orchestrated and desperate.

Edited on Fri May-15-09 02:59 PM by RandomThoughtsBecause I point out the flaws in the capitalist system that can be reformed, something communism also did. However I believe in much of the capitalist system if moderated.If I was in an extream system like a communist country I would try and pull them to the right, because either extream has more flaws then a mix.

SIMPLYB1980 (1000+ posts) Fri May-15-09 03:06 PMResponse to Reply #10 12. I didn't say don't criticize, I said don't call him or Democrats fascist. Edited on Fri May-15-09 03:06 PM by SIMPLYB1980That's not criticizing that's just name calling.
