From the very beginning of the Age of Obama, we have been told by our Leftist betters that we must not DARE call him a socialist/communist, and we have dutifully obeyed.
It seems that the only reason we are not allowed to call him that is because it would be detrimental to his political ambitions, not because it's not true.
And of course the "McCarthyism" smears, but McCarthy has been proven right.
So I have a question?
Do we have the courage to call a Communist a Communist?
Do we have the courage to always precede his name with the word "Communist," as in "Communist President Barack Obama," the way the Left always preceded Randy Weaver's name with the words "white separatist?"
Did we ever stop? The term needs to be used continuously with BO.
I’ve been calling ObaMAO a “steaming Marxist turd” since day one.
You haven’t started yet????
“Obama is a radical communist and I think it is becoming clear. He is going to destroy this country and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist.”

Lessons of the Van Jones Affair: Democrats Are Comfortable With Communists, Racists and Anti-Semites
There is no more mystery about Van Jones. He was a passionate defender of cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal, a self-satisfied and described “Communist,” a supporter of the destruction of the Jewish state, and a promoter of the theory that the Katrina tragedy was a white racist plot, and so forth. That’s okay with Democratic chairman Howard Dean, and Obama’s Environmental Quality Council head Nancy Sutley. (See Ron Radosh’s current blog for chapter and verse, and also the many blogs on Jones at our own www.newsrealblog.com.) This should surprise no one. The recent heads of the black caucus in the House — part of the 120 member “progressive caucus” — have all been Castro-loving racists — Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee to name two off the top of my head. Diane Watson is probably next. The Democratic Party today is a “popular front” organization (to pluck an appropriate term from the 1930s when liberals and Stalinists lined up together as well). There are no scoundrels, America haters, racists — that Democrats won’t assimlate. One of the more obnoxious racists and crooks in public life — Charlie Rangel — is still chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee because Nancy Pelosi can’t remove him so strong is his support in her party.
And if you don’t believe how far left the Democrats have lurched when I say it, here’s authentification from Alan Colmes who, after ignoring all the evidence about who Van Jones actually is and what he believes, and pretending that it’s all a Glenn Beck-World Net Daily-Horowitz plot, concludes “Van Jones is a mainstream liberal.” That’s exactly right Alan. And that’s exactly the problem.
How did things get to this pass? Let me just single out one problem, because it’s the one conservatives can actually affect. And that is to start calling things by their right names. The timidity and cowardice of Republicans towards Democratic Party ourtages of this nature is a principal culprit. When you call Communists “liberals” it legitimizes them. The time has come to stop it. To stop the charade , stick your head out the window and say “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.”
Considering the reaction I get on forums with leftists on them, I think its imperative to use “communist” against Obama at every opportunity. It is scaring the left out of its collective wits.
Yes, it’s time.
Thank you Van Jones for dropping Zero’s mask.
I prefer to call him a Marxist, that connotes he is tied more with revolutionary types like Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Chavez and Castro than the Russian form of Communism that believed in the Iron Curtain and suppressing other peoples.
I like it.

Only slightly related...
At some point, someone in the "news" media will hopefully ask (apparently) Marxist Obama to compare and contrast free market capitalism to Marxist government-controlled systems and economies.
He would lie, of course, but still his answer could be quite revealing.

We have and we will continue to do so.
I think a lot of us saw the communist thing long before inauguration. Just the ignorant voted for him.
I have been, and never asked for permission to do so.
I call ‘em like I see ‘em.
I’ve been calling him a communist from the gitgo...and boy does it piss off my mom. She says I’m a radical thinker. :)
Little does she know that I’m also a right wing terrorist.
As of Saturday evening, I’ve started using the terms ‘Communist’ and ‘Marxist’ when referring to Obama in my vlogs.
I had abandoned it after the election because I got this idea that I could affect upon moderates if I seemed to be not so ‘inflammatory.’
The thing is that so many moderates were aroused and enraged by the attempted takeover of health care by Obama, they were ready to listen to people like me, anyway.
I can kick the rhetoric up a notch. Comparisons to North Korea, Mao and Stalin also work. Comparisons to Hitler kind of wear thin on people, it’s been used too much.
Obama is actually more like Hugo Chavez and Juan Peron than anything, but people don’t recognize those 2 as readily.
Marxist is more appropiate.
Read my tagline, been this way since he “stole” the election!
Could you tell me one thing BO has done to grow the private sector?
Questin is rhetorical, all he is doing is growing the government.
//bush’s fault.
