Oh my: Obama being called a fascist now … on Air America
posted at 9:15 pm on August 21, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via Red State, proof positive that there are some Obama lies so shameless that even the left won’t spin them for him. This is Naked Emperor News’s second video on The One’s oh-so-shady backroom deal with the pharmaceutical lobby; the first one was entitled “Obama’s Mother of All Political Lies,” a description I don’t agree with but which Air America apparently does. Watching this, it’s not just the dishonesty of his campaign promises that galls, it’s the sanctimony he displayed in misleading his cultists to believe things would be drastically different under Hopenchange. The pandering during the Billy Tauzin clip in particular is enough to make you queasy. Like the lady says, “a charming liar.”
File the fascist bit at the end away for the next time David Letterman or MSNBC or whoever wrings their hands about heated rhetoric at the town-hall protests.

See, this I don’t get. Liberals obviously notice from time to time what a despicable business politics often is, even on their own side – so why do they want to give the government more power over their lives?
kc8ukw on August 21, 2009 at 9:16 PM
sounds like the playa hated the game, then got in the game after he said he hated the playa, and the game.
Has anyone ever played pool with this guy? He’d probably break, sink the 8 ball, scratch, then deny it.
ted c on August 21, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Allah, get the clip from tonight’s Olbermann show where the young black female “political science professor from Princeton” states Obama’s numbers are going down because “Americans are saying: You aren’t doing enough. We expect you to do more.” Oh, was that a crowd pleaser in my house tonight.

Charming my a$$, he’s a SCHMOOOOOOOZER.
scalleywag on August 21, 2009 at 9:21 PM
So far, not only have his most vociferous conservative critics been the only ones who read this scumbag right, we actually underestimated his sleaziness by half.
Jaibones on August 21, 2009 at 9:21 PM
They’d rather b!tch and give up their rights than have to actually take responsibility for themselves and their actions?
Monica on August 21, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Would’ve made sense had I quoted the original post first…

Pat Buchanon was wrong.
He said Obama would either be at war with them (his liberal base) … or us.
He’s at war now with …
Both.
HondaV65 on August 21, 2009 at 9:22 PM
They think he’s a liar in fascist.
So that’s why they want to give him and the government he runs more power? More control? Put in charge of health care? Allowed to take over private industry?
They’ve got a serious case of cognitive dissonance.
amerpundit on August 21, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Screw Air America. If Obama were acting this sleazy in the furtherance of things they wanted, they’d be cheering on the sleaze. Because he might drop the public option, oh they’re all so shocked the prez is a dirt bag. Screw ‘em. They’re liars and hypocrites, just like the guy they got elected president.

That wouldn’t be the first time Buchanan was wrong…
Upstater85 on August 21, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Not that i am the biggest Dick Morris fan or anything. I think it was him that predicted that Obama promised the world and he cannot deliver on it. I think we are starting to see it.
Of course most of the readers here knew he was a fraud and a liar.

You are so exactly right. The left has no problem with his sleaziness. They just want the graft that they stole fair and square.

too bad only nine people heard it.
cpr on August 21, 2009 at 9:31 PM
Makes sense.
There are plenty on the Far Left who have spent their whole life hating ‘the man’.
Seeing their glorious messiah cutting mega-money deals with the ‘powers that be’ becomes the ultimate ‘discontinuity’ for their world view.
The result: psychotic idealism meets reality.
Boo stink’n hoo.
Time for more popcorn.

ThePrez on August 21, 2009 at 9:31 PM
It’s the definition of insanity – doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. Liberals always think THIS time our guys will all be public-spirited, ethical do-gooders and never cut deals, mislead, obfuscate, or downright f*ck up. They think all bureaucrats are brilliant Kennedy School graduates and not incompetent drones and buffoons who work for the government because they can’t get or keep a real job with bottom-line responsibility.
rockmom on August 21, 2009 at 9:32 PM
The ‘B’ in ‘BS’ stands for ‘Barack’.

Logic is not part of the liberal mindset. They only want to “stick it to the man.”
Alfresco on August 21, 2009 at 9:32 PM
I just figured something out today while listening to Rush.
When John Edwards was lying, he would blink profusely.
When Obozo starts to lie, the lie usually begins right after the pause, as if he’s searching his memory banks for the correct statement du jour.
Lanceman on August 21, 2009 at 9:33 PM
Because they’re basically children. They believe that if you just get the right people in power, the nice people, then everything will be well. They – by and large – don’t have faith in God, but they do have faith in the ultimate perfectability of mankind. So with every example of government failure and tyranny, they’ll just blink their eyes thoughtfully and say, “well, yes … but next time we’ll have the right people in charge, you’ll see …”
PackerBronco on August 21, 2009 at 9:33 PM
Because they expect to be the ones in power. See, e.g., Cindy Sheehan — she expected Dear Leader to follow her anti-war platform. Now that He hasn’t she understands that she ws simply used.
One thing that might worry me is that Dear Leader would use this as an example of “I must be doing something right because the Left & Right both hate me.” And try to appear to be the moderate. Do not fall for it. It is merely that his fascist (in the original state-corporatism definition) mask has slipped.
rbj on August 21, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Now watch the MSM use the Nutroots attacks on BHO as proof that he “obviously” reaching a reasonable compromise if he’s being criticized by both the Left and the Right.
tomllewis on August 21, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Well, he won’t soon get their trust back.
The problem for us is when he begins to mollify them our problems increase exponentially. As bad as he’s been up until this point he well and truly will become a danger to the nation going forward.
Time for us to increase pressure.
elduende on August 21, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Yep. An historic presidency alright.
Oink on August 21, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Be careful here, be very careful! There is no one so dangerous as a betrayed cultist. They’ve turned their whole identities over to the holy “Cause” and the “New Messiah” and when they finally see that they’ve been gulled all the while, they can get very very nasty.
I’m afraid this is the kind of stuff that ends in gunfire and bloody shirts. Its getting very very creepy out there!

elduende on August 21, 2009 at 9:36 PM
He is a fascist.
The keystone of fascist doctrine is its conception of the state, of its essence, its functions, and its aims. For fascism the state is absolute, individuals and groups relative.

They thought they were getting Bobby Kennedy. The thing is, RFK was killed before he could get elected and show the liberals just how ruthless, mean, two-faced and political he could be. So they have this huge mythic dream about “the good President” – the whole “dream shall never die” thing that they got all weepy over when Ted Kenndy spoke at the 1976 Democratic convention. Barack Obama sent the same chills through them when he spoke at the DNC in 2004. OLprah wasn’t kidding when she called Obama “The One” – these dreamy-eyed liberals really thought they had found The One, the deus ex machina they had been looking for ever since RKF was assassinated. They simply refused to see Barack Obama for the unprincipled, callow, naive, and hopelessly incompetent boob that he really is.
rockmom on August 21, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Obama isn’t going to have many folks on his side at this rate. Kind of makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
TXMomof3 on August 21, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Hadn’t heard about them in so long, I thought Air America was gone.
cozmo on August 21, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Challenger ads should play the clip of Obama talking about carrying the water for big pharma vs. looking out for constituents and ask who’s looking out for whom.

He left himself purposefully vague when he was running – campaigning for President. Everyone kept asking who is Obama. People projected onto him what they wanted him to be. He tried to be all things to all people…..and now his chickens are coming home to roost. Sorry I couldn’t help myself, I was having flashbacks of Jeremiah Wright. Surely we couldn’t tell what kind of person Obama was by the company he kept and the way he treated his Pastor by throwing him under the bus when he became a political liability. Karma you can’t duck or out run it.

You know, Jeff, in some ways I might agree with that statement.
I think more accurately, women should not be allowed to educate, or have anything to do with the institution of ‘public education’.
Somehow, if only men controlled education and the institution of the same, I don’t think the NEA would be in existence. At least as it’s currently constituted.
Sorry, Lady and ladies, not trying to stir up a HornetSting’s nest.
There are unintended consequences to any strategy and I certainly haven’t thought too hard on this one.
