Semper suprene nitens

OBAMACARE: If it ain't good enough for my Congressman then it ain't good enough for me.  

The problem with this comparison is that ultimately, McCarthy proved to be correct, at least in most instances- according to my understanding of the facts actually brought by McCarthy. Certainly, "McCarthyism" has taken on a connotation of unfounded persecution by the extreme right-wing, but that's largely due to historical rewriting by the left. Of course, maybe that's what Will is suggesting...

Anyone with any brain power knows that when they play the race that they are losing big time. I hope that they keep doing it. It only makes the public more aware of what is being opposed.

Polls indicate that 52% of us are opposed to the Obama care. According to the Brazilles and Reichs that makes 52% of us RACIST!

The "climate of violence" exists!

Here's the proof

Can someone point out that most of the Obama Hitler/Obama joker posters are being held by Lyndon LaRouche supporters.

A couple of weeks ago at my local post office LaRouche supporters were set up at the curb with their literature and signs. One of the two LaRouche supporters was an African American woman.

I'm located in Western Suffolk,NY....that's Long Island for those that don't know.

I'm a refugee from the Democratic Party.

Sorry, but Will is wrong.

"McCarthyism" was true (i.e., the identification of fellow travelers in the U.S. government.)

"Liberal McCarthyism", however, is false (i.e., the bogus allegation that opposition to an America hating, militant leftist like Obama is based on his race.)

Of course the "dominate element" following Katrina..

.. was that "Bush hated Blacks."

And the "evidence" of that, was that the national media couldn't get enough of Spike Lee and Kayne West.

All of this - 90% is fueled by the want of the MSM.

I wish I could vote for some of the these comments, because they make very accurate points.  Even a right wing extremist like me is impressed.

phone book to sit on?  The camera can't see him.  What?  Two already?

Nevermind. 

Given what Will stated at the beginning of this segment, why didn't Stephanopoulos ask Brazile and Reich to offer evidence that any of the current anti-government sentiment in the country is caused by racism?

Because it was much more important that Shephanopoulos portray himself (and ABC) as in the center, above the fray, while providing an opportunity to cast FOX in the same category as the deranged tingling served up on MSLSD.  IE - "...I was struck this week -- I spent an evening flipping between Fox News and MSNBC. And it’s like you were living in parallel universes."

As far as Reich's lame comment; "...right-wing talk radio people who are whipping it up....This is what happens in this country when people are scared."   It's not listeners to talk radio that are scared.  On the contrary, the sleeping giant has grown weary of being poked in his sleep, has awoken and pissed. The "people" have already taken their hit...now it is the liberal politicians and the establishment media types whose jobs are currently in jeopardy and running scared.  If not why hasn't the Dem controlled Congress passed healthcare yet?  Why is FOX on top in the ratings while more and more liberal media outlets are struggling to survive?  And why are both resorting to playing the race card whenever someone disagrees with President Underdabus?  Whose scared now Reich?    

That was the most beffudled, milquetoast commentary I have ever heard.

What a shame. She used to be one of the north-stars of conservative opinion.

It seems to me Dick Morris was right when he said; Carter actually proves that racisim is not involved in the arguments against PBO.  The conservatives in America dislike and are/were as adamantly and vocally against Carter and his failed policies as much as PBO!

 All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.

Reich and Brazile present the most disingenuous arguments I have ever witnessed. Line 'em up. One right after the other.

Reich on health care: (paraphrasing) Look, the CBO says the bill is deficit neutral with all of the cuts forthcoming in MediCare and will reduce the deficit over time. And the predicting the economic effect of spending bills is impossible. But, in this case, they're right. No, of course Congress won't actually cut MediCare, but they will hold spending at current levels.- Seems to me the $500B in MediCare cuts that make this bill deficit neutral- that won't actually happen, make this bill $500B in the red.

Brazile on racism: (paraphrasing) Sure, there's racism. It's not overwhelming; it's just on the fringe, but something has to be done about it, and the President needs to leave this issue alone. He doesn't have the time for beer summits every time this issue comes up. - Seems to me there will always be some racism, on the fringe, and not only coming from whites toward blacks. Seems to me that two of the most prominent factions of the democratic party, blacks and Jews, have been race-baiting each other for decades. And wasn't Barry himself who injected himself in the race aspect of the Skippy arrest? And wasn't it the President himself who thought that having a beer with the professor and cop would end the issue?

Even Gilespi (sp?) made the claim that the Hitler comparisons were coming from the fringe right when in fact, we all know that it's LaRouchers, from the extreme left, that are propagating this depiction.

Michael Jackson is still dead.

I have gained a lot more respect for Senator McCarthy over the years, I'd say, starting back in the '80s.  I'm one of these people who have been sneered at for decades for even using the word "communist", and it still continues.  Communists simply don't exist in America as far as most people are concerned.  

Political issues rarely come up in this country because we have put our political power in the hands of others as is the case with any Republic.  We've also been brainwashed into accepting Leftist values in school, college and in all facets of the media.  ALL of us to some extent have been brainwashed.  ALL of us believe things to be true simply because we believe them to be true. 

Think of the most sacrosanct beliefs you have concerning history over the last 200 years and explore them.  Some of you may know what I mean and it is quite liberating to start to see things as they might actually be rather than what we simply choose to be true because it's safe, convenient and keeps us from being picked on at the playground.

We focus inward rather than outward.  Obama knows that.  But he wants us to focus outward looking through Socialist/Leftist glasses.  We've lost the ability to discuss political issues because we as Americans are simply always right and any belief we have we treat as if we were born thinking that way...little room for discussion on what we think is the Truth.

Our castles have become our prisons.

So, the Marxists have exploited those weaknesses.   The weaknesses are our belief that we are rugged individualists and that we don't need anyone else, don't want to get involved, that we think we know what's going on (or worse, don't really care), we're rude to one another, we're too afraid to look a stranger in the eye and say "hello" with a smile, we're too proud to pick up after other people, we're too afraid to collectively tell someone in public that their behavior is unacceptable, we think that juvenile deliquency is just part of growing up (because after all, we were all kids once), we think that ignorance, debauchery, drunkeness, and generally raising Hell is cute, enduring, and somehow innately American.

We blame teachers unions for the laziness, ignorance and insolence of much of our youth...we blame the French for our failures in foreign policy...we blame the Chinese for making the stuff we buy at Wal-Mart.

However, it is encouraging to see many people catching on and paying more attention, reading more, researching more, organizing, protesting, discussing issues.  Win or lose, Obama has indeed transformed America...let's just hope that it's the same America that our ancestors dreamed of and not the dream of the disgruntled, arrogant intelligentsia.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

I think Peggy's afraid she won't be asked back if she doesn't softball her responses.   By the way Ms. Cheney probably will never be asked back,  way too smart for this crowd.
