You've been out of the loop

No, I saw that Rush comment, and I saw it as a call to other conservatives to start calling Obama what he is, a Communist. But Rush hasn't reiterated that language, apparently he didn't get the takers, and so he's back to having to say the same thing in other words, to paraphrasing and circumlocution. I'm sure he sees and says the reality, and it's no mystery to him. But the fail is still strong in public perceptions, and the dark befuddlement conjured by the LieStreamMedia is still working on the public.

I think it's still true that, if you use words like "Communist" to describe Obozo, well-meaning people who aren't clued by Rush or Savage or Levin or someone, will be susceptible to the psych failing called "transference", in which the hard truth, the onus of guilt, is transferred back to the speaker -- to you -- and you are perceived as the social compact-breaker, the bad actor, rather than the person you're trying to warn people about.

Communists have used that one forever, because it works.

I agree with what you wrote, but I was only responding to correct your statement wherein you flatly said that "...he can't say "Communist", as if he had never used that word to describe Obama and his policies. To wit:

"He and his friends are authentic Stalinist Communists, and nobody sees it except Rush, and even he can't say "Communist"."

As I showed you --(with links in my previous post)-- Rush spent two days in a row referring to Obama and his policies as "Communist", because Obama's speech was "the news of the day", and provided direct proof. IE: His own words indicted him as such.
