Obama has become a master of this technique. He did not argue that he is not a socialist. He ridiculed the idea by saying that people call him a communist because he shared his toys in kindergarten is one recent example of this.
Now we have Obama ridiculing people who do not like paying taxes by pointing at them and saying that they are selfish. This is the same ridicule Goebbels to keep Aryans from mixing with undesired races. He said that such people were being selfish by not keeping their blood pure.
I'll have do admit that use of ridicule is brilliant. Most people just see it as funny. They fail to see it for what it really is. They fail to see that it is way of not having to defend their position. It is brilliant but it also very dangerous.
why don’t you lead by example obama and show us how unselfish you have been to your aunt and brother
Obama is a scary man.
Selfish is letting your aunt live in the slum you SOB and your brother live in a hut. Obama is a coward. He’s a wet behind the ears chicken. He can’t produce his birth certificate, he cries when people challenge him. America will have a “coward in chief” if he’s elected. Wake up!!!!
I sooooo want to see his snarky behind defeated this Tuesday. I don’t want to hear his attitude day in and day out for the next four years. He needs to be made irrelevant.
This from the millionaire deadbeat who won’t even donate an old coat to charity. Kiss it Obama!
I’d send him my copy of Ayn Rand’s book; The Virtues Of Selfishness, if I thought it would do any (bleepin) good!!!
Obama is a scary man.

I think this is becoming clearer to the electorate and explains McCain’s momentum.
This from a guy who ignores his own close relatives who are in need????
I didn’t read all the comments... But check them out following Tapper’s piece. Remember this is ABC News.
If this is a sample of the electorate, the folks are waking up to Obama’s socialism and he could be in for a big surprise come Tuesday.
Remember Ditka today: This is the land of opportunity, not the land of handouts.
In the end, they defined any peasant that had enough to eat as a Kulak.
McCain wasn't the first.
A man who never served a day in the military and never risked his gawky privileged self for any cause ridicules John McCain as “selfish”
The man whose whose relatives keep popping up living in extreme poverty...whose wife complained about the high cost of summer camp and ballet lessons for the kids....wants to use the term “selfish” against middle class taxpayers?
Obama’s Chicago mansion has SIX bathrooms? That's probably more than his entire extended Kenyan clan.
I just bought you a clue, Zero.
Obie and his friends sound like Taggart and his buddies in the bar.
DITTO,D I T T O !
If the McCain people will seize on this, BO is politically dead.
“BO wants higher taxes. Higher taxes will kill jobs. If you don’t like higher taxes, BO says you are selfish.”
"The man who is willing to serve as the means to the ends of others, will necessarily regard others as the means to his ends."
- Ayn Rand, "The Virtue of Selfishness"
First he insulted us by saying we're not Patriotic. When that didn't work, now we're selfish.
Dear Lord, I am begging you...please save us.
