When they call a Dem policy 'socialist', stop them in their tracks and correct them with this word..

DEMOCRACY.

Example..

Cons like Rush and Beck like to call a Public Option(or any reform of HC) "Socialist".
They're wrong(big suprise).
It isn't socialism..

It's DEMOCRACY in action. Democracy is intended to represent the will of the people. The will of the electorate.

Regulation isn't socialism.

It's DEMOCRACY in action.

Oversight isn't socialism.

It's DEMOCRACY in action.

An economic stimulus plan isn't socialism.

It's DEMOCRACY in action.

Democracy is supposed to be the will of the electorate. Resulting policy-making may not seem like the will of the people at many times(people wanted a PO and got more for-profit HCR instead), but in theory our democracy is the will of the people.

.................................................................................

Democracy has become the enemy of the Right Wing. Authoritarians hate loss of control at the ballot box err Diebold evote machine, perhaps more so than anything else. The Teabag movement, even if it seems to be fizzling out, is built upon the obsessive compulsion to be in charge.

Do as I say, not as I do. Authoritarianism.

Rush, Beck, Bachmann, Fox hate democracy, clearly. Why? Because for the 5 minutes it takes to fill out a ballot, we're all equal. Rush hates considering himself equal to you and I, even for 5 minutes.

Rush, GB, FOX are turning their unabashed hatred toward democracy. They hate our right to vote. They would give anything to keep you and I, the Democratic voter, away from the polls.

But they can't. And it eats away at them. I think it explains Rush's recent weight loss. He's hating himself thinner.(OK enough hyperbole)

Straight out of the right wings playbook, the Reich Wing is resorting to character assassination yet again. This time their victim is our democracy.

The speakers of hate- Rush, GB etc are trying to paint our democracy/our right to vote as something evil by calling every elected Dem policy 'socialist'. Again, Democratic Party policies are not socialism, they are democracy in action. (Reminder-Resulting policies aren't always the will of the people, but pols enacting said policies were elected by the will of the people).

Elected Dems are not Socialists. I'm a Socialist and faaaar left of the Dem Party.

Again, elected Dems are not Socialists, they are DEMOCRACY in action.

They are the result of elections. Elections are DEMOCRACY in action.

The next time you hear a right wingnut cry "IT'S SOCIALISM!1!!1" , stop them and correct them.

Tell them, "No it isn't socialism, it's democracy in action.".

Think about every time Beck has said something that made you angry. Beck all but calling for violent revolution against America or everything Obama does is steeped in Marxism. Beck loves to piss off the left.

Want to piss off the right wing? Wanna get under their skin? Racist/offensive Teabag signs got you down?

Peacefully extract revenge. We can all do somethin' about it.

There is one simple thing we can all do to tell Rush where he can stick his Nazi propaganda.(Nazi propaganda would probably soothe his cyst.)

That simple act that we can all do?
(Hint: Think DEMOCRACY in action)

Scorn Rush, GB, Bachmann and Palin, Fox, TB'ers, with this one simple act..
