Re: OT: Wal-Mart says Vote Republican if you like low wages a few benefits

It isn't -just- the trade unionism. It's that, combined with the hate

And the right doesn't do the same thing? Have you ever listened to Limbaugh
or Hannity's radio shows? NO tolerance for any opinion other than their
own, and pure hatred of anyone to the left of Reagan.

That describes you pretty well in this thread. I have been fairly
separating righties and conservatives from Hitler and Mussolini, yet
you persist in labeling Free Lunch as a communist because he's a
liberal. You're the one lacking perspective.

I'm not labeling him as a Communist. Maybe we need a new category.
Extreme lefties who hate anything to the right of them that aren't
Communists or Socialist or all the other ones that were on that list.
They are just far left and they hate.

But he's not "extreme" in anyone's mind but yours. Like I said, you can't
get much more extreme than extreme. If Free Lunch is indeed a leftist
extremist, then what do you consider Pol Pot? Or are you so far to the
right that you really can't tell the difference between somebody who
dislikes Wal-Mart's corporate bullying and somebody who kills for no reason
whatsoever? Maybe you're the extremist.
Compared to *Pol Pot, Stalin and Mao*!! Besides, I like Allentown.
Again, perspective. If you think ANY American liberal politician is
the near-equivalent of Stalin and Pol Pot, you are not the one to be
calling on others to "consider other positions!"

Do you find it offensive when people call George Bush a fascist? Or
another Hitler? The comparison been made by many on the left,
including many in this NG. I'm no fan of Bush, but that's wrong. But
where was your objection to that?

Then why do you defend him without question day in and day out?

The problem is you keep mistakenly thinking that liberal is the same
as communist. They are very far apart. Communists detest liberals;
JFK was a staunch anti-communist and it cost him his life.

No. The problem is you keep thinking that I am making that mistake.
Far left encompasses extreme liberalism. It encompasses Communism. It
also encompasses a bunch of other things. How could Communism
hate what it is? Communism may hate other political perspectives
other than its own, but it can't hate liberalism without hating
itself.

Then conservatism can't hate fascism without hating itself. If it's good
for the left, then it's gotta be good for the right as well.
