Obama is finally busted for being a Socialist

I thought that El Ninny said that it was taken out by a UFO...and we all know that his er, research is infallible...not since Jamie Michelle(also an Alex Jones acolyte who is rumored to be the current inhabitant of a strait-jacket and a padded cell) posted here have we heard such sane and rational explanations of the way things really are...

Palin is so out of touch! So what does she call McCain's plan to buy back the bad mortgages with taxpayer money? Isn't that socialism and redistribution of the wealth?

Not to mention that is is a bad idea - there would be no guarantee that the people who got into these bad mortgages would not behave the same way again, and it may encourage many homeowners who are paying their mortgage, to default in order to get in on the "goodies"

Let me see under Pres.Bush we are nationalizing banks, created the large HomeLand Security Dept, ran up the deficits. So seems the Republicans are the socialists. Sen.McCain's economic policies are the same: Tax cuts for people making over 250K (5% of the Pop) and the rest of us can wait for it to trickle down like the last eight years.

Vote for the Sen.Obama. He was just endorsed by the Economics Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman.

Sen.Obama was also endorsed by all the science nobel prize winners too.

Ya it is a bad idea, but then again so was the 700 billion dollar give away they keep trying to spin and they both voted for.

This person puts the "spread the wealth" in the larger context of what Obama was saying to Joe the Plumber. So a statement taken out of context is the basis of the controversy.


Joe the Plumber lied to Barack Obama and received a thoughtful and honest answer to his dishonest question. After a well-considered discussion of the ramifications of his tax plan to Joe’s fictional business situation, Barack asked Joe to think about those who are coming behind him. He asked Joe to consider how much faster he would have been in a position to buy his hypothetical business under Obama’s tax policies.

Near the end of the conversation Barack summed up: "My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. If you’ve got a plumbing business, you’re gonna be better off if you’ve got a whole bunch of customers who can afford to hire you, and right now everybody’s so pinched that business is bad for everybody and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody."

Out of this entire exchange the McPalin campaign chooses to pull “spread the wealth” out of context. From this slender thread they weave a story of a new mythic American hero; Joe the Plumber, a character to rival Paul Bunyan or Pecos Bill. In the land of tall tales, plumbers make more than a quarter million dollars and a three percent higher tax rate on all that income above the quarter mil will determine whether or not Joe will create jobs. If you don’t believe in Joe, you must be a socialist. The McPalin handlers must think we’re children. What a sorry excuse for a presidential campaign.

5 years later... anyone think he's a socialist? In which case the working class must be winning the class war -- ha ha!
