So it begins.
For all my reservations about the idea of Hillary 2016, overall I'd be ok with the idea simply to watch wingnut heads explode.
Wow, they're already starting "Hilary is a socialist". I thought they reserved that for Obama, because they couldn't call him what they really wanted to call him...
Snopes with the context of these quotes, which, as it turns out, is pretty important!
Also interesting that somehow we should consider some of these things to be bad.
"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and for the few
Such a crazy thought, that government should work for all citizens, not just a powerful few!
We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own ... in order to create this common ground."
Political compromise in a democratic society?!?! Who ever heard of such an outrage?!?!
"I certainly think the free-market has failed."
Which is true in many, many cases. Apparently pointing out facts is a bad thing.
All of those quotes are perfectly reasonable.
I keep telling middle and lower class conservatives that they've been programmed since birth to hate and fear socialism even though it's in everybody's best interest.
Except for the richest 10%, who not only hold the Pavlovian bell but also a whip.
This forward is yet another example of their irrational fear and loathing.
Even without Snopes (but worth reading), it's entirely clear that this is a bunch of:
Quotes out of context and some with important contextual info excluded. Plus attribution of quotes to mostly dreaded & dreadful (but rightwingers don't really know why because they have no clue who Karl Marx really was, what he wrote, what he stood for, etc. It's just that El Lushbo bellowed at them that Marx = BAD) commies or socialists, or possibly some fascists dictators (ironically some, such as Pinochet & Saddam Hussein, installed in their govts by the CIA). So stupid on so many levels.
However, this is certainly a very clear example of righwing propoganda developed in rightwing think tanks and sent forth to Dittoheaded know-nothings to get them to toe the company line, which mostly is NOT in their own favor.
Of course, the rightwing PTB are intent on raising the hackles of rightwingers against dreaded, dreadful, vagina-challenged Hillary, so... hence we see insipid, dull & ridiculous drivel like this.
No surprises.
1. Marx believed strongly in the destruction of the upper class, not them 'giving a little wealth'.
2. Milošević was framed.
3. Pinochet believed in the free market. So much that any 'socialist' dissenters disappeared.
You didn't build that
