Why do I keep hearing that Obama is a communist?

Question

Why do I keep hearing that Obama is a communist?

Answer 1

I call him a socialist, with some communistic views.

Windfall profit tax, he wants to tax companies' profits and give it straight to the poor and middle calls. Redistribution of wealth. Very close to communism.

Universal health care, socialistic

Free college tuition, socialistic

Wants to tax the rich to an extreme extent, socialistic (they pay like 90% of the taxes, is that not a 'fair share')

Countless other taxes on business and small business.  

Answer 2

Because  Republicans are good at lying when they're scared.

They learn to do this at a very early age.

Answer 3

He's the most liberal leftist member of a party that loves Communists.

Thats close enough for most folks.

Answer 4

If it walks like a communist,

If it talks like a communist

if it acts like a communist

If it spends like a communist

If it taxes like a communist

By golly, I'm thinking is't a communist.

I don't have to taste it

Answer 5

Because everyone who is not a neo-con and actually think people should be treated fairly is a Commie! I spent 8 years in the Army, 29 months in Korea and 12 months in Vietnam and some of them...who have never had a bullet fired at them in combat, call me one! Anyone who disagrees with them is a Commie!

The reality is that they are not really Americans as they don't put America before greed! Not all Republicans. I am talking about the far right one issue voters!

And to think, there are Republicans who are actually liberal but they would never think to call them a commie!

And this is non-factual:  "Universal health care, socialistic

Free college tuition, socialistic



"Wants to tax the rich to an extreme extent, socialistic (they pay like 90% of the taxes, is that not a 'fair share')"

Actually they don't pay 90% of the taxes. Included in that group are people who make $44,000 a year, which is the AVERAGE wage in this country. There are a lot more of them than the 0.5% who own 90% of the wealth and have been getting tax-cuts for 8 years! They have NEVER paid there share! Obviously the other 1/2 are making under $30,000 a year and really don't have much to tax, do they?

"Universal health care, socialistic Free college tuition, socialistic"

Ironic people like you who claim he is a socialist don't have an issue with corporate welfare, don't have an issue with corporate fraud, don't have an issue with oil companies who raise there rates a dime a gallon for people who are leaving New Orleans, don't have an issue when over 3,000 who net $200,000 a year and pay NO TAXES or are billionaires hiding their money in Lichtenstein!

Besides make you all the money, the other 1/2 have had to bail out the Savings and Loan Crises at $2.3 TRILLION, and Bear Stearns, and the Sub-prime lenders like Fannie Mae! FDR even bailed out the oil companies.

Funny, we are all commies until you come running to us to bail you out of your crimes and thefts from America!

Answer 6

The Obama/Biden ticket has experience, class and common sense.  I'd be peddling this garbage too if I supported candidates like McBush.  LOL!!!

Answer 7

Look at his record, his past associations, and the rhetoric he speaks. He is a Marxist that will do his best to turn America into a more socialist styled government. Although that does not make him a commie, but d**n close.

Answer 8

BECUZZ PEOPLE DONT WANT A BLACK MAN TO WIN SOO THEY JUST BRING UP ANY OLD THING TO BRING HIM DOWNN  

Answer 9

Because people are ignorant.

Answer 10

more lies...

apparently lying about someone who some people don't know is effective...

no one knows this palin woman... maybe we should strike back?  

Answer 11

Because there are a lot of stupid people out there and they don't even really know what communism is.

Answer 12

Because he is.

1)  Obama was an active and registered member of the Communist and Socialist parties when he was a resident of Illinois and Hawaii.

2) The church he supported for 20 years proudly claims to be a Black Liberation Theology church (Link to the Church's website below).  BLT is Marxism dressed up as Christianity.  They gave their highest honor to Marxist Luis Farrakhan just this past December.  Obama was very prod of association.

3) Obama had a flag of Che Guevara hanging in his campaign office.

Look up this people.  Find out who they are and what they stand for.  

Look up Black Liberation Theology.  Find out what it stands for.

ADDED:  Read his Global Tax Bill.  Read paragraphs 7 & 8.  Obama wants to take away the US Citizens right to bear small arms.  (That's a man planning a coup if I ever saw one!)
