Where do we go from here? Race-baiting and fear-mongering a tactic of conservative activism. It's frustrating that the Republican Party is determined to attack President Obama, but this "socialist" nonsense is really making me more likely to continue ignoring Republicans.
Just about 90% of Republicans/conservatives believe that President Obama is a "socialist", "Marxist", and/or other ridiculous accusations. So much for a post-partisan America!
Is it fair for me to say that anyone who criticizes President Obama by throwing the ridiculous "socialist" claim are Anti-American.
The conservative media have went into full spin with this "socialist" fear-mongering. And to top that, in my opinion as well as the title of this video, the Republicans and their allies in the conservative media have used "racial undertones" towards the president.
They won't say it, but they found a way to beat the odds!
There's a poll that frankly proves my point about this "socialist" nonsense. It's provided by Daily Kos/Research 2000:
- 39 percent of Republicans believe Obama should be impeached, 29 percent are not sure, 32 percent said he should not be voted out of office.
- 36 percent of Republicans believe Obama was not born in the United States, 22 percent are not sure, 42 percent think he is a natural citizen.
- 31 percent of Republicans believe Obama is a "Racist who hates White people" -- the description once adopted by Fox News's Glenn Beck. 33 percent were not sure, and 36 percent said he was not a racist.
- 63 percent of Republicans think Obama is a socialist, 16 percent are not sure, 21 percent say he is not
- 24 percent of Republicans believe Obama wants "the terrorists to win," 33 percent aren't sure, 43 percent said he did not want the terrorist to win.
- 21 percent of Republicans believe ACORN stole the 2008 election, 55 percent are not sure, 24 percent said the community organizing group did not steal the election.
- 23 percent of Republicans believe that their state should secede from the United States, 19 percent aren't sure, 58 percent said no.
- 53 percent of Republicans said they believe Sarah Palin is more qualified to be president than Obama.
Conservatives tend to be more likely racists, bigots and ignorant.

gopleaders -
I just watched the Bomb in the Brain series on youtube which discussed the reasons behind political views, as associated with early childhood trauma. (I think it was part 4 or 5 of the series) Those that have endured trauma are more likely to be conservative. However, it is not always so simple as people would like to think. You should check it out. Also, I enjoy your videos for the most part. Keep it up. Way to be informed and to actually care about things!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at Brian's video over at Youtube that compares Huffington traffic to Drudge traffic and all i can say is he is a genius. The right wingers are having seizures over there. Brian shattered their world.
ReplyDeleteTO LILVOKA of Youtube,
ReplyDeleteHey LILVOKA. I hope you will accept my video response on that video: "Pastor James David Manning: This Birther Clown Preaches Idiocy From The Pupils!"
You made this video back in 2008. Figured you should consider this in mind. Great to see your video. Prefer to see it now, then back 2 years ago.
