Obama dared to suggest ideas that aren't Uber Capitalism, so the idiots decided that made him a Socialist, they then decided that Socialism must always be Communism, they then decided that there misconceptions mean that Obama was evil scum, they then decided to make many threads complaining about every little thing Obama says or does, they then decided this wasn't enough hate, they decided to start inventing comparisons between him and other "evil communist dictators"

does that about cover it?

now, that said, im not a big Obama fan myself, my own views are well to the left of his socially and I have more socialist tendencies than he does, though, im in the UK, so things are different here.

edit: the thread asked a question, I gave an answer...yet no doubt I will get flamed for it...sad really

so, the only way many people here will be happy, is if EVERYONE on the site puts this in there sig:

Obama is an evil socialist who hates america and wants to destroy it 

am I right? 

That rhetoric is out there but you're being disengenous to say that the majority of opposition to Obama believes he is a full blown socialist who deliberately wants to destroy the country.  Granted the people who do believe it are vocal but given that this is what they believe I can't say I'm surprised by their sense of urgency, as misguided as it may be.  In fact it reminds me of the left when Bush was in office quite a bit.

My main point in replying to you is that you should be careful not to lump substantive disagreements with Obama in with what is a minority alarmist view of Obama.  There are plenty of reasons to believe Obama has done just awful thus far without having to believe he is intentionally sabotaging the nation or even a full blown socialist.

I know that, but the fact there so vocal makes it seem otherwise, which I assume is why this thread was made, Im merely pointing out the fact that people are being dumb in some of the stuff some of them say about Obama.

like i said, i myself dont think much of some of Obama's ideas, but i dont compare him to dictators or communists either, as i know to do so would be stupid.
