oe, explain it away, fine, leftists exist, and the Democratic Party is beholden to the left, and that left has embraced Barack Obama.
Marxists exist ... Leftists constantly look for new ways to package their product, and new personalities to push their agenda.
Obama fits the mold.
Okie, I was just curious whether you saw
that other thread, with the video of those radical lefty protestors in Denver who pushed a Fox News reporter aside, shouting F*ck Fox News.
I ask because H2OMan posted to it, apparently having listened to the video, and then said, referring to those protestors, "Why is the face of the Obama supporter hidden behind a mask?".
Which exhibits a weird cognitive dissonance that seems relevant here too. Because when that Fox reporter described that crowd of far-left protestors to the viewer, in that very clip, he emphasised that Obama wasnt getting any love from them, that they're done with Bush and now they're protesting against the Democrats too. He sounded really surprised about it too.
He shouldnt be. In as far as there is a far left in America, actual commies, anarchists and the like, trust me, they're not Obama believers. Neither are the ones over here in Europe, for that matter. And why would they be? In their logic, which is not really without merit, Obama and McCain are just two more representatives of the dominant, capitalist consensus, two more mealymouthed politicians who won't ever fundamentally challenge the dominant, capitalist system of the US.
