I love how a Republican hack uses a propaganda video from the 50's meant to attack communism, and use it as a 'prediction' of Obama's America. Even more ironic is how the video uses the automotive industry as a sign of the success of capitalism (OMG there's ISM in capitalism! Evilllll!). Of course you didn't bother to watch it did you?

When Republicans started using Socialism interchangeably with Communism, I knew they had finally run out of arguments. They have to attack Obama blindly because thats all they can do now. They fucked everything up and all thats left is angry lashing out. They were desperate to make Obama look bad even when he hadnt done anything yet. They cant possibly defend their own positions anymore, and besides, the best defence is a good offense.
But at this point all they have left is 4 years of mouthing off. Nothing else they can do.

On the plus side, we should see much more fun stuff like this. I'm sure as they hire more people to write slogans they will also come up with more varied attacks.

LOL - funny cartoon. but if this as meant as anything current I don't see it. It's an anti communusm porpaganda film. Watch the first few mins again where it goes through all the freedoms that make our country great... and tell me what freedoms have been taken away? NOT ONE OF THEM.

Govt regulation of financial systems is not = communism. What Obama is doing is NOT communisnm, and after his 8 years in office, we will still have ALL of our freedoms and America will still be the greatest nation on Earth. You right wing hacks should really practice what you preach and have some faith in the ideals of America. You act like they arent strong enough to survive a crisis. We have been through far worse than this and we will carry on. Its an economic downturn - not the end of our civilization.

Get a grip on reality OP... Another fail post.

There's something weird about ideologues attacking other ideologues for being ideologues.

how about SCOTUS and eminent Domain? by that decision we don't own property anymore, the government can come at any time and take your home and build a walmart.

Aside from Ron Paul, supporting Eminent Domain over private property has been a GOP facet far more than Democrat one. Here in Texas, our douchebag governor Dick Perry has pressed Eminent domain to some rather nefarious ends. Hell, we've sold out to FOREIGN ownership of some roads.

^^ Heh, I had a computer shop in Hillsboro for a while, and got to spend a good bit of time with Will Lowrance. He's a pretty nice guy.

It is a free country - you are free to leave it any time.

You want the benefits of living in America, the greatest nation on Earth... its costs.
