What Does Your Scared, Incorrect Obama-Association Say About You?
Sadly for Mr. Miles J. Racistmoron, he wrote too large to add more words he didn't understand.
Let’s be honest: if Obama wasn’t black, folks on the far right wouldn’t be coming out in such strong force to rally against him. Sure, he would be taking a lot of heat for his spending plans and conservatives would be doing anything in their power to make folks as scared and angry as possible. But since he’s not white, every scared stupid (and scared, stupid) white person (I think if you find someone who isn’t Caucasian at one of these anti-Obama rallies, you get some kind of prize) are throwing political labels they don’t even understand because some TV or radio pundit used that word even though the pundit didn’t understand it. But the word choice is still important even if you don’t know what it means. The top three choices are “Socialist”, “Marxist”, and “Fascist”. Let’s run through all three to see what it says about the person who uses it!
Socialist: If you call Obama a “socialist”, you may be someone who has a hazy understanding of economic systems and are just using the term as rhetorical hyperbole as a description of Obama’s attempts to expand government in order to serve the people rather than people having the individual freedom to help themselves. But I imagine most cases involve someone who wants to compare Obama to Stalin and thinks calling the President a “communist” may be too passe.
Marxist: The same as the Socialist crowd but attempting to sound smarter despite never reading any of the works of Karl Marx. I am left to wonder if they fear reading his work would make them Marxists.
Fascist: Someone who is comparing Obama to Hitler but who forgot to bring their sign with a picture of Obama made up to look like Hitler. This group is the most peculiar because they want to say that Obama is a dictator who has ambitions to take over the world (and if he ever invades Canada, they’ll have a stronger case) who is providing strict economic controls but they never bring up the whole Hitler-Racism thing. Making that leap would be the equivalent of trying to jump the Grand Canyon on a tricycle.
None of these protesters understand the labels they’re trying to apply to Obama because if they did, they would know they’re only applicable only under the broadest definition of the word. But some pundit has them scared because Obama isn’t a conservative and the pundit keeps throwing out words like “socialist” and “marxist” and “fascist” and the scared people pick those words up and take them to a protest and then yell at the President because they’re angry, scared, and those that are making them that way don’t have, and have never had, an interest in making the scared, angry people anything other than scared and angry.
