The mask slips: On a phone call, Obama called Trump a 'fascist' from the start
American Thinker ^ | 01/26/2020 | Monica Showalter

Just how bad was it in swampville when President Trump was beginning to take off in the polls ahead of the 2016 election?

Well, here's a pretty credible conversation recorded for a documentary intended to tell the election story for the benefit of Hillary Clinton's fans:

Barack Obama called Donald Trump a "fascist" in a phone conversation with Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia during the 2016 presidential election, Kaine says in a video clip featured in an upcoming documentary about Hillary Clinton.

Kaine, Clinton's running mate on the Democratic ticket, recounts the call during an exchange with Clinton that was caught on camera in 2016. Kaine's wife, Anne Holton, was also present.

"President Obama called me last night and said: 'Tim, remember, this is no time to be a purist. You've got to keep a fascist out of the White House,'" Kaine says before adding with a laugh that Obama "knows me and he knows that I could tend to err."

Clinton replies, nodding, "I echo that sentiment."

She then puts her hands to her chest and says, "But that's really — the weight of our responsibility is so huge."

Weight of responsibility? Almost like Nancy Pelosi with her impeachment gravitas, wearing black, declaring "prayerful" drivel, telling her giggling leftists to stifle it and pretend to be serious while the cameras were on.

Except it's quite possible wretched Hillary and malevolent Obama really did believe it.

Three things stand out about this telling little conversation:

One, Obama is an ideologue. Claiming that Trump is a fascist has zero, repeat zero, basis in reality. Fascists don't cut taxes and regulations, for one, fascists are all in for state takeovers of industry to start, quite similar to what was attempted in the Obama administration, actually.

I wonder what polls were these and what "take off" means?

Recall that for over 8 years we were told that it was divisive to call Obama a Socialist, an avowed Marxist, and to list the card carrying Communists in his administration.

When they say “democracy”, they mean tyrannical rule by the far left.

WE don’t have a copy or recording of the conversation, all we have is Sen. Tim Kaine’s statement.

Oh, i know..if you look at the definition of fascist and then think like a leftist ..you see they are taking key words (buzz words) and at the same time changing the meaning.
They have to ..because they are the fascist.

Wait until this bomb hits the senate on Monday.

Texas Rep. John Radcliffe told Maria Bartiromo (Sunday) that Adam Schiff buried one of his secret interviews conducted in private behind closed doors during the impeachment inquiry.

While Schiff used numerous quotes from 17 'witnesses', he chose not to even acknowledge the 18th interview with Inspector General Michael Atkinson.

That 179 page report stated that the whistle blower that Schiff used to instigate the impeachment vote lied in his written statement and did so again while under oath during oral testimony.

According to Radcliffe, the report also stated that the coordination and timing of the news leaks between the Schiff team and the whistle blower, who Schiff claims not to know, had gone on for several months, possibly over a year.

The premise that Obama was looking out for our nation’s interests, is howlingly hilarious. He knew damn well from the start that his gig was up if Trump caught on with the public.

Fascist? Once again pure projection.

The man urged ‘his people’ the hoodlum segment, to arm themselves in public.

His version of the storm troopers...

Some pretty stupid, supposedly smart democrats.

The only official definition of Fascism comes from Benito Mussolini, the founder of fascism, in which he outlines three principles of a fascist philosophy.

1."Everything in the state". The Government is supreme and the country is all-encompasing, and all within it must conform to the ruling body, often a dictator.

2."Nothing outside the state". The country must grow and the implied goal of any fascist nation is to rule the world, and have every human submit to the government.

3."Nothing against the state". Any type of questioning the government is not to be tolerated. If you do not see things our way, you are wrong. If you do not agree with the government, you cannot be allowed to live and taint the minds of the rest of the good citizens.

The use of militarism was implied only as a means to accomplish one of the three above principles, mainly to keep the people and rest of the world in line. Fascist countries are known for their harmony and lack of internal strife. There are no conflicting parties or elections in fascist countries.

Kaine could easily have made this up, he is that big a liar.

However, I don’t have a hard time believing that the Kenyan from Indonesia, being a Marxist muslim himself would think anyone who loves America and the Constitution is a fascist.

After all, the Constitution says he can’t be President.

“ Recall that for over 8 years we were told that it was divisive to call Obama a Socialist, an avowed Marxist, and to list the card carrying Communists in his administration.”

Divisive? Heck, it was considered racist if you disapproved of any aspect of his presidency.
