They all think we’re stupid. However, it’s clear that the Obama campaign fears that this Socialist business can gain traction. Otherwise, Biden would have just answered the question in that interview. I’m not sure the American people are paying attention to this, but the campaigns reactions to it tell me they know it’s a problem.

Yahoo! did not make these hotlinks on purpose.

You can only get the links if you go to politico.com and ready the story.

Obama appears to express support for the court's rejection of that line of argument, saying instead that the civil rights movement should aim for the same goals through legislative action.

Even if I bought this load of legalese, Sunstein confirms what we believe about 0bama. By any means, whether through the courts, executive order, or legislation, he intends to implement wealth redistibution.

The courts are not the issue. He said “redistributive change”...what can that possilby mean? Think about it, America.

If nothing else, this shows the Zero’s complete disconnection from average America, since he was answering a man-on-the-street voter, who (regardless of political leaning) would hardly be acquainted with the esoteric principle this person claims Obama was referring to.

No regular person, when they hear “redistribution of wealth”, is going to automatically think “oh, he’s talking about creating safety nets”. They’re going to think “take from the haves, give to the have-nots”.

All Liberals think Conservatives are stupid, spineless, and gutless. They get this idea from the leadership of the GOP who have no gonads and haven’t fought back for the past eight years. Those of us that love freedom and want a bright future for our children, have to defeat this wanna be dictator, the Muslim Messiah, from getting elected. This election is a national disgrace. American Patriots going back to 1776 to today are rolling in their graves. The Muslim Messiah wishes to destroy us from within with the aid of Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Schumer, Kennedy, Rangel, Kerry, Feinstein, Boxer, and the rest of the Liberal waste in the US Congress.

It never ceases to amaze me how the Left parses the very words of one of their Fellow Travelers to make it sound as though Conservatives, who consider the very idea of wealth redistribution loathsome, had come up with such a thought, when it was--and still is--the centerpiece of Marxism.

Ah, Yeah, OK...or could it be that perhaps your candidate is a MARXIST and you are using pretzel logic to try and get us past that?
