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.

1. I had no idea I was "far left" really
I guess disagreeing with the President *does* make you a commie.

Because 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.

2. My Father is on the Barely Moderate Rightie Dem and wants them released
I would tell him he's a Far Left Commie Pinko, but he might have a stroke, so I won't.

3. When the far left attacks Obama viscously don't expect to just get a pass.
When I stop seeing leftist calling Democrats and Obama a Fascist on this site I will stop calling them out for acting as bad as the republicans.

12. I didn't say don't criticize, I said don't call him or Democrats fascist.

That's not criticizing that's just name calling.

14. The Republicans aren't much on saying that right now.
Rather, they're in favor of criticizing the President for anything and everything no matter how valid the criticism is.

18. So those of us on Obama's side of the fence should be smashed into silence?
Edited on Fri May-15-09 03:12 PM by villager
Because Republicans are hypocrites?
A small bonfire so far, maybe a raging inferno soon

Dear leader was told by some grownups what the world was and his handlers have decided that it is better to go back on this naive promise of ending tribunals then to let one of them out to potentially kill thousands of Americans some day.

This is from the same primitive who was saying someone's money isn't really their money and the gov't knows better how money should be distributed than individuals. This idiots definition of "communsim" must be off the charts for him to claim he's want to pull it to the right. His definition of communism would probably place Stalin and Mao in the same category as Adam Smith.

DUmmies are disturbed? I thought that was the normal state of affairs for the DUmp denizens.

"extream"? I never saw it spelled that way before.
