I can't listen to this shit anymore!!! How dare they call us Communists?

[fooj]

I am beyond pissed! How dare these rat bastards back a SOB that LIED us into war and has been doing nothing but lying to the people of this country since Day 1! What a bunch of bastards!!!!!!!!! How do these maniacs get away with this?

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm so angry I'm crying!

I've been hitting speed dial for the past 25 minutes so I can get some facts out on C-Span...I CAN"T GET THROUGH!!!

Peace.

[wryter2000]

1. I don't blame you

I don't think they're getting away with it any more, though. The louder *asshat gets, the lower his poll numbers go.

I hope they all go down in flames in 2006. We'll have our revenge then. Chin up.

[DrGonzoLives]

2. That's just the reacion they want

Fundamentally, these idiots are bullies. They want to get to a rise out of you and to get everybody all pissed off and stammering, etc.

The proper response is to call the comment what it is, bullshit, laugh at their stupidity, and move on. Who the hell cares what they think?

[fooj]

6. I hear what you are saying. I don't care about what they think...

I just care about all of the facts getting distorted and totally MISREPRESENTED on the air!

Peace.

[July]

32. I LOVE the way you think, DrGonzoLives.

You are so right! They're taking advantage of the moment when their opponents get flustered. Works so much better for our side when we don't and just make fun of them.

[Warpy]

3. It's the worst thing a moron can think of.

Of course, it's never been against the law in this country to BE a communist. McCarthy had to link them to Soviet spies to get anywhere in his demonization of the whole party.

I just wish a Dem had the guts to stand up and return the favor, they're followers of Antichrist.

[greiner3]

4. call us what we are

Damn right! I'm a Socialist!

[wryter2000]

5. Welcome to DU

You socialist, you. :)

[DrDebug]

10. Welcome to DU

[karlrschneider]

11. Hey, it could be worse...you could be an

ANTIsocialist! :D

[fooj]

18. OR A FASCIST!!!!

BWAHAHAHA!!!

[melissinha]

19. me too

sure some examples of socialism were bad, but they were carried forward in the wrong manner with the wrong intentions.... I'm one too, I agree in the pure motives and policies of socialism.

[Straight Shooter]

23. So am I, greiner3!

So was Jesus, IMHO.

Welcome to DU :hi:

[Chan790]

33. Huzzah Comrade Greiner3!

Me too and Welcome to DU!

Better Pink than Red. I may just call C-Span to yell that on the air.

[fooj]

34. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Thanks. I needed that chuckle!

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

7. They may not...

...get away with everything. The more they make absurd accusations and engage in name calling, the more we know we're having effect.

[LaurenG]

8. Don't cry

This is just the beginning. Most Americans (and world citizens) AGREE with us. They are screwing themselves. We will party by years end due to the UTTER dishonesty of all of them. :hug:

[liberalpragmatist]

9. Just laugh

Seriously. It's totally absurd. I don't know how anyone takes these comments seriously.

Sometimes I think laughter would be an even better tool than anger. Just show the absurdity of the modern GOP.

[fooj]

15. You're probably right. I just hate the fact that they always make

a mockery of our sincerity and authentic concern for our country and the troops. I hate that more than anything!

peace.

[still_one]

12. They have just declared war on the Democrats

I am quite confident that they will NOT have the Democrats to kick around anymore in Congress

[melissinha]

13. me too!

How DARE these lilly-livered cowards label you and me as unpatriotic when the war started, and even now they throw the word liberal around like its a swear word like we are in the McCarthy era..... screw you! How dare you label hard working americans who truly understand responsiblilty and true compassion!!! Every time we want to support the least among us for any reason, even soldiers.. its hand outs.... go to hell where you belong you evil, greedy bastards.... you don't speak for me... and the word "liberal" or prograssive is one I wear with pride.

[HughBeaumont]

14. Most likely because C-Span is a Freep-abler when it comes to callers.

They let these backwoods talking-point-vomiting schmucks excrete the contents of their four existing brain cells the whole damned call-in and cut the other voice (that of the truth) out. Their programs are balanced but their call screeners sure don't seem to be.

[fooj]

16. I should have turned the stupid channel...

it really got to me!

[pocket]

17. you take it as an insult?

Not me :)

Call me a commie or a queer til you're blue in the face, it's music to my ears.

[fooj]

20. You know, I should have simply changed the channel...

dumb move on my part to let the rat bastards get to me.

[Craig3410]

24. Hey, the caller after "Captain Asshole Caller"

called him out on his calling us "traitors".

So there ARE good people left in this country. :D

[HockeyMom]

21. For us OLDER Folks,

it all just rolls off our backs. Been there done, done that. They said the same during Nam. BUT they had no choice but to listen, when the MAJORITY of the American people said the same as the "stupid, anti war, hippies."

It is happening again, and they are getting DESPERATE.

[VolcanoJen]

22. Don't cry, honey.

Seriously. Don't. Buck up. Let them smear and malign.

There is no substance, only style. Predictable style. Slash-and-burn-and-Rovian style. Expect it.

And soldier on. And recognize your own patriotism and love of country. And do not accept their marginalizing. Organize, write your representatives, and vote. Blow off steam in these forums.

But don't ever cry because they called you a Commie. That's hilarious.

Think of how Rep. Murtha feels right now. I imagine he'll let us know on the House floor when the vote goes down. And I bet he won't be crying.

But he'll be mad as hell. And so focus your frustration, ok?

:hug:

[fooj]

26. Thanks. I cry when I'm pissed. It's a curse.

:hug:

[Zookeeper]

25. I watched C-Span for a few minutes...

and the right-wing morons sure have been getting through on the phone lines! The wee-brained, big-mouthed lunatics are calling us Communists, cowards, and traitors. Meanwhile, their depth of understanding of the Iraq situation consists of repeating simple-minded BushCo talking points. (Actually, some of their statements sound recycled from the Vietnam era. And we know how well that turned out.)

[fooj]

27. Yep. These people are the most ignorant, vile individuals on the planet!

Peace.

[Double T]

28. The war mongers will only get away with this as long as we let them......

the bush administration has sold out its own country to provide the military industrial complex (and Halliburton) with a business boom, at the expense of its own soldiers and innocent Iraqi civilians. We all know the nobel causes the bush administration keeps tauting as the reasons for going to war are just plain BS. We need to just keep hammering away at the real truth to mute their continual lies and deceptions. The repubs are desperate and we need to keep driving them into deeper desperation where they will ultimately and totally self destruct.

[madokie]

29. I'm beyond pissed. My service was all for naught, I'm Pissed.

:hug:
I don't like the feeling this no good lying chickenshit bastard moran incompetent has me feeling. I go:cry:

[hobbit709]

30. So I'm accused of being a coward and a traitor?

OK. In the words of Patrick Henry "If this be treason...then make the most of it"

[Tactical Progressive]

31. For every time they say 'socialist' we say 'fascist'

For every time they say 'Communist' we say 'Nazi'.

Until it becomes a rhetorical reflex.

They've been doing this for fifty years. It's long past time for Progressives to hit back in kind. They hate it when people hit them back as hard as they dish it out.

Socialism, socialist, socialistic > fascism, fascist, fascistic.
Communist, communism > Nazi, nazism.

Every single time.

[katty]

35. Communists?! HA! THAT IS SO OLD! BLA BLA BLA

[Mike Niendorff]

36. Pavlov's Dog

They've conditioned their followers to respond blindly to certain phrases and images.

"Jane Fonda!"
**arf**arf**arf!!!***

"Michael Moore!"
**arf**arf**arf!!!***

"ACLU!"
**arf**arf**arf!!!***

"Communist Conspiracies Everywhere!"
**arf**arf**arf!!!***

"Science! Evolution! Education!!!"
**arf**arf**arf!!!***


(You get picture)


They're just playing the same propaganda games that got them where they are.
