that surpasses crazy so much so that i can't find a word for it! it would have to be some sort of word consisting of 13 vowels and 1 consonant that an alien would use to call something crazy! or maybe it's just a series sounds.

Keep the FRENZY going Michele!

Scared, crazy people are just what we need!

I've got to pick my brain. I remember an old horror flick with some blue-eyed Bachmann-ish character living in an old stone mansion and basically becoming "someone else" - (like possessed) - damn I wish my memory was better! Maybe in the same flick the "dad" tried to drown his own son - damn memory! I'd love to find a clip off youtube with that!

Goddammit, Bob.
Your post beat mine by 24 minutes.
Oh well. YOU have way more readers.

CCC, NRA (National Recovery Act), AAA. Look 'em up. This is nothing new. Just old, pre WWII italian fascism. El Duce would be proud!

Don't our young people need to be educated before they can be re-educated? Neither of which is happening in this country.

I would like to add another crazy quote...

President Barack Obama called for "a world without nuclear weapons"

Is Michelle Bachman one of those freaky robots Bob showed yesterday.... perhaps being led by Beck?!?

So, Bob42.
Worldwide nuclear disarmament is not a worthy goal.

Yay for nukes!

Bob42, do you have a link?

Here's one on his behalf:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/20901.html

Worthy goal. Won't happen in our lifetimes though.

Unfortunately, I don't gocart. You got me thinking though. I just like to get on this site and get liberals all worked up. They are all sooo cruel, and compassion was thrown out the window a long time ago with some of them.

Hey Wolfe, World Peace, also a worthy goal...

Yeah, you're right, Rogect.

It won't happen in our lifetime, so we shouldn't even consider it as a goal. Silly me.

Yay Nukes!

I would think Bachmann knows a thing or two about brainwashing facilities.

"I just like to get on this site and get liberals all worked up."

Isn't that the very definition of a troll?

Wolfe Tone,

Who said "we shouldn't even consider it as a goal?" I said in my post that I consider it a worthy goal. To clarify, I think that any step towards nuclear disarmament is one of the best things that could possibly happen to humanity, and that taking steps towards 'a world without nuclear weapons' should be a top priority for the President.

I think you might have mistaken my pessimism about disarmament's chance of success with my actual attitude towards disarmament. I apologize for the confusion (perhaps I've been reading too much Vonnegut?)

They are all sooo cruel, and compassion was thrown out the window a long time ago with some of them.

Yeah, the wrong wing is just overflowing with compassion.

"Why should I have to help those losers (foreclosure victims) pay their mortgage?"

"If they want Health Care tell them to get a job."

Real compassion from our favorite party of fascism, racism, and obstructionism.

You are quite the comedian Bob42.

You are correct though. I have absolutely no compassion for the self-servatives. They don't need my compassion since they only love themselves and appear to hate everyone else.

New doof quote...whatever it is Chuck Todd just said. Some shit about how the president being overseas might offend some people in middle America because of a "pro European vibe they might be getting if they're getting it"

This just adds fuel to my theory that Chucks goatee is eating his brain.

Silly,

Hook line and sinker

Before you start using the f word, look around, maybe in a mirror.. While the definition can be argued and debated forever, the hardcore principles remain the same. "Everything in the state, nothing outside the state" Mussolini was a modern man, self styled, and organized a youth movement. New York Times "Mussolini is a Latin [Teddy] Roosevelt who first acts and then inquires if it is legal." Before pointing fingers, look at your parties roots.

Rogect8,
Sorry for jumping the gun. I think I may have interpreted your link on Bob42's behalf as some sort of concurrence with his opinion, without really examing the content of your post.
I apologize. I usually don't go off half-cocked like that.
We are probably on the same page.
Realistically, I doubt that elimination of nuclear weapons will occur even in my grandchildren's lifetimes.
But one can hope.
It strikes me that for the first time in my lengthy life, the concept may be actually be the topic of serious dialogue.

The modern Republican Party in no way resembles the party of Lincoln. The Republican party of today doesn't even resemble the Republican party of the 60s.

I have no problem with actual conservatives. I'm a big fan of Dirksen, Buckley, and Goldwater. Point to a single member of the current party that even remotely resembles any of those three. I don't see one. Instead I see a collection of extreme corporatists that want the country's government run to suit the needs of the corporations that fund their campaigns. In many cases the Republicans are actual fascists.

The Bushes, Cheney, Perle, and Rove may call themselves Neoconservatives, but when I compare their published ideology with other political ideologies I see it has no difference from the Fascist ideology. Prescott Bush was a big proponent of the Nazis and the Fascists.

If you want to label liberals with a Fascism tag, all I can say is good luck with that. You must not know much about political science. Looks like projection again.

When are you guys going to start wearing the arm bands? You're not fooling anyone.

Bob24,
The NYT comment (can you provide a link?) about Mussolini could just as easily be applied to George W. Bush.
Before pointing fingers, perhaps you should take a look at the last eight years.

BTW - just what do any of your posts have to do with the fact that Republican Representative Michelle Bachmann is batshit crazy dangerous?

HOLY Crap....Ed 's New Show is on and he is kicking ass ( I was so happy to have Keith and Rachel- but this rocks)....are you watching Bob ? He is leading the show with Uninsured Americans...48 Million.... wow...a way to melt this uninsured Nurse's heart...Thank you Bob for mentioning his show was coming to MSNBC...

Best Quote :
"Conservatives are Selfish"

What's with the 'f-word' bullshit anyway. When we discussed fascism in my political science classes we said fascism. It is a label for a well documented political ideology.

Perle can copy the ideology and give it a new name, but you can't fool everyone. Neocons are Fascists using a different name. What are they ashamed of? If you are a fascist, just do us a favor and call it that. Making up new names is childish. The behavior of Cheney was like watching history repeat itself. I was waiting for Operation Barbarosa.

If you knew anything about liberals or fascists, you would see that the behaviors of the two parties during the BushCo dictatorship did not resemble one another at all. The only party that looked like lockstep loyal authoritarians was the Republican party.

Why did the Republican Party let its fascist minority take control?

What's with that crazy set though. It looks like he made it from recycled bits of a cylon baseship.

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

"...the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums."

Don't I remember something like this from bygone days? Oh Yeah! It was called The Draft.

Haven't read the bill in question, but I doubt that it includes a requirement that every 18 year old will be legally bound to register for a new selective service and be forced to serve in whatever capacity the big bad 'gubbmint' sees fit.

Good job, Michele Bachmann. Your loopy utterings are doing so much good for the credibility of your party.

No worries Wolfe - Lord knows it's easy to misinterpret the tone of a brief written comment. I do it all the time.

"But one can hope.
It strikes me that for the first time in my lengthy life, the concept may be actually be the topic of serious dialogue."

Hear hear. I got chills just listening to Obama talk about this subject in Prague.

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0817FF3C5D15738DDDAE0894D8415B838EF1D3&scp=32&sq=Mussolini%2C+Roosevelt%2C&st=p

That one is for Wolfe.

Bush was a disaster, he is a Republican, but he is not a conservative, whether he claims to be or not. The bailout towards the end of his term, among many other bad decisions was the last kick of that dead horse.

Prescott Bush, not a president. FDR, president. Nationalization of Banks, Fascist.

Nationalization of Banks, Fascist.

Wrong. Nationalization of Banks, Socialist.

Where did you study Political Science?

Under fascism, the government is a small as possible since most functions are outsourced to the private sector. The government exists only to enforce the party line on the populace. Fascist government are always authoritarian. Corporations do most the the government functions. This should all sound very familiar. We have many states that don't have any prisons anymore. It's all outsourced to the private sector.

Nationalizing industry is a feature of socialism. Fascists would have shitfits over nationalizations.

Bob24,
My point was that when you start throwing around the accusation that Obama, or progressives are fascists, you need only look at the last eight years and see that the definition fits pretty well with George Bush, Dick Cheney, and most of the Republican herd... not the current President or most thinking Americans.

Oh - Yay Nukes! Yay Rich People! Boo poor people!

With the definitions again.

"It takes responsibility for all aspects of life, including our health and well-being, and seeks to impose uniformity of though and action, whether by force or through regulation and social pressure...it views everything as policitical and holds that any action by the state is justified to achieve the common good."

Not really have s&*#fits. Sorry for the language bob. You got it all upside down Silly. The further free market laize faire you go, the farther from fascism you get.
