seen on facebook day after election
"Just as I had no patience for people labeling Obama as a socialist, I'm not going to tolerate people labeling Republicans as fascists. Cut it out. Haven't we learned by now that inflammatory rhetoric is totally non-productive?"


Posted by a very liberal peace advocate.

I didn't know that "socialist" was a pejorative to anyone on the left. I wonder what people from other countries think of this attitude.

2. Non flamable retoric did not correct the issues.

I figure metaphorical fire storms and napalm posts is as good an attempt as any other.

:shrug:

Got any other suggestions?


Cut it out, hehe, card board cut outs :)

I do agree it is not a Republican Democrat issue though.


Someone took my beer and travel money, what else would you expect a person to do.

3. A more appropriate contrast would be between communists and fascists.
With communists on the extreme left. That's what I think.

4. I take socialist as a compliment
Also, I don't call Republicans fascists. Corporate whores is way more accurate.
