Howard Dean Tells Republicans: Leave America, Go Back To RussiaThe Daily Caller/Yahoo
http://news.yahoo.com/howard-dean-tells-republicans-leave-america-back-russia-115029601.html
"SNIP....................
Howard Dean, who is still alive, told attendees at a fundraiser for a Democratic congressional hopeful that Republicans are not American and would be more comfortable in the Ukraine or Russia. He also screamed that GOP supporters should stay away from our country.
Dean, a former Vermont governor, a former Democratic National Committee chairman and a 2004 presidential candidate, made the statements last week in a fit of zeal as he was speaking in support of Colorado 6th Congressional District candidate Andrew Romanoff.
This is a Republican party that has decided they like power so much that they think its okay to win by taking away the right to vote, Dean told the gathered assembly of 750 people at Doras Mexican Restaurant in Aurora, Colo.
They are not American, he bellowed. They could be more comfortable in the Ukraine or Russia but stay away from our country. This is based on the right to vote.

' GOP supporters should stay away from our country!' Yes. Get out. Leave us in peace.
We should build a magical wall a mile high and put them on the other side. With guards dressed in black protecting us from the 'great other'.
They don't even like girl scout cookies. Thats un-American. Could be treasonous.

And also - consider the source. The "Daily Caller" is little tucker carlson's latest attempt to be relevant (and/or find a job) in today's media.

I would rather live under a bridge than live under socialism
tea bagger slogan
Everyone knows that Tea Party revolutionaries fear and hate socialism about as much as the Antichrist. Which is funny, because the Tea Party movements dirty little secret is that it owes its existence to the grandaddy of all Antichrists: the godless empire of the USSR.
What few realize is that the secretive oil billionaires of the Koch family, the main supporters of the right-wing groups that orchestrated the Tea Party movement, would not have the means to bankroll their favorite causes had it not been for the pile of money the family made working for the Bolsheviks in the late 1920s and early 1930s, building refineries, training Communist engineers and laying down the foundation of Soviet oil infrastructure.
The comrades were good to the Kochs. Today Koch Industries has grown into the second-largest private company in America. With an annual revenue of $100 billion, the company was just $6.3 billion shy of first place in 2008. Ownership is kept strictly in the family, with the company being split roughly between right-wing brothers Charles and David Koch, who are worth about $20 billion apiece and are infamous as the largest sponsors of right-wing causes. They bankroll scores of free-market and libertarian think tanks, institutes and advocacy groups. Reason magazine, Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute are just a few of Koch-backed free-market operations. Greenpeace estimates that the Koch family shelled out $25 million from 2005 to 2008 funding the climate denial machine, which means they outspent Exxon Mobile three to one.
I first learned about the Kochs in February 2009, when Mark Ames and I were looking into the strange origins of the then-nascent Tea Party movement. Our investigation led us again and again to a handful of right-wing organizations and think tanks directly tied to the Kochs. We were the first to connect the dots and debunk the Tea Party movements grassroots front, exposing it as billionaire-backed astroturf campaign run by free-market advocacy groups FreedomWorks and Americans For Prosperity, both of which are closely linked to the Koch brothers.

(10,893 posts)this is the same crowd that has railed against the President for being a "socialist" and a "communist". Simultaneously, they've been brown-nosing a leader who was an actual communist.

(13,218 posts)Their beliefs more clearly run to a Theocracy or if you prefer Fascism. As days go by they continue to find it harder and harder to pretend to be Democratic.
