the unofficial official RW talking points thread.

[Joe Fields]

I think it's important that we stay focused on what riles the opposition and how they frame their attacks. Please add whatever talking points you've heard that aren't on this list. And no, by no means do I think this list is complete. There is a lot to discuss. Anyway, here are just a few I heard this week:

Obama wants the private sector to fail. He hopes upon hope that the private sector fails, so that he can complete his grand design of a purely socialist state, where all freedoms are restricted and all Americans are completely dependent on the federal government.

Only the poor, jobless, those with no money in the stock market were the ones that propped Obama into power.

The masses are asses and don't know what's best for them.

Only Limbaugh, Hannity, et al are the truth, the light and the way...all others know absolutely nothing.

Big government is evil.

How are we going to pay for this! How are we going to pay for this? How are we going to....(In other words, screw all the people who have been forced out of their jobs and homes.)

Every time Obama speaks, the market goes down. (What a coincidence. Every time these gasbags speak the market goes down, too!)

Obama's aim is to rip up the constitution.

FDR's policies were abject failures.

This is officially the Obama recession.

3. Obama is a liberal commie socialist. But he campaigns on CONSERVATIVE values!

I thought this one died some time after the election but I've seen it popping up in response to the SOTU. Apparently it was a "conservative" speech. :eyes:

[VOX]

4. "This is socialism, pure and simple," "Climate change is a power-grab scam"...

"The homeless just don't want to work."

There are a million more, but I'm just too damned tired to keep at it.

5. Not just a socialist but a Marxist Communist.

Him and Micheal both...and their intent is to enslave the world.
Global warming is a hoax, and real scientist don't buy it. (and there are mot many real scientist left that are not communist Marxist)
Obama is responsible for the national debt...after only a few weeks in office I guess because Dem's forced bush to spend like a drunken sailor.
But we could go on for hours repeating there silly shit. It is hard to believe that people could fall for this, but I guess they do.

6. my general all-purpose responses

1. Where's the freaking trickle? We had 8 years of dubya, prior to that it was 12 years of reagan-bush trickle. the only time we actually saw anything "trickle" was under Clinton. So where's the freaking trickle?

2. What's the NOPer solution? Do nothing? Cut taxes? Let the markets take care of it? Been there, done that - doesn't work.

3. It's not a question of BIG government versus SMALL goverment - it's a question of EFFECTIVE and COMPETENT government.
