We Are No Longer LIBERALS... We Are The Far Far LEFT!
I've noticed recently on C-Span that when the RW talks about those who oppose "the corrupt ones" and The Boy Kind EEEEIIIIdiot, they've started using The Far Far Left to describe us.

Guess the Liberal mantra isn't as effective anymore. So all you Liberals out there... let's go get 'em!

Edited on Sat Jun-04-05 08:16 AM by MrScorpio
We are ALL the "far, far left"

I'm considering the source here.

4. Like You Name....
I COULD be called MsScorpio!!

I just felt it was funny how irritated they are getting! I'm loving it. And as another person stated... being Liberal may now be Chic! VERY GOOD!

And no, my name Chici is not a reference to Chic... it's just my nick-name. I kind of like the way it gets a variety of comments.

3. Maybe the term 'Liberal'
has finally turned the corner. Now it is chic and trendy to be liberal. It is definitely more fun than being a sexually repressed, warmongering, fascist bushbot. Who could blame people for wanting to join us?

7. the VAST Far Far Left-Wing CONSPIRACY
the vastness and the far-leftness is only exceeded by the fact that its a conspiracy of huge proportions.

the more extreme the adjectives, the more insecure they are!

The infrastructure of this government is starting to implode on itself.

8. We are the far left right now
The right has moved so much to the right that most thinking people have become far left commies.

26. That's sounds correct
that if you are only looking from a hardline, idological far right stance, any glance towards the center looks to be "far-far-left".

Also, the stigma of "liberal" seems to be fading as that fad is ending.

9. When you are drowning in your bitter broth of lies, deceit,
murder, assassination, and general bad personhood, as are the theofascists, anything that smacks of integrity, intelligence, compassion or fair-dealing looks like the far, far left--kooky, unrealistic, and since (in criminal, solipsistic reasoning) somebody's gotta be right and somebody's gotta be wrong, we people of forgiveness and "common" humanity must be the bad guys.

15. Add Another FAR To That And I'll Still Be
PROUD! I felt it was worth mentioning simply because there seems to be some desperation as to HOW to attack us. Seemingly, Liberal isn't doing it anymore!

What is also strange is how they say we are the ones who are SO ABRASIVE! Well, then abrasive works both ways and they began this a long time ago. Apparently they can't take what they put out!! Calling out Dean on his remarks, well they have some NERVE. Many here think Dean is very moderate, THEY (RW) say he's way out of touch. Are they "twisting and turning in the wind"! Just couldn't help making that reference! I believe it was the OTHER Dean who first opted that.

Sticks and Stones???? The sad part is that I'm about ready for the STONES!!!

17. Ah hah. So, you've noticed the verbal assaults and stoning, too.
When somone accuses a poster of drinking the "kool-aid" 'cause s/he admires Galloway, there's some obvious "twisting and turning in the wind" shit happening there!!!

Doncha' think? ;)

20. Jonestown
It's a village in South America. A guy named Jones set up a cult there. When cops were about to arrest him or something, he had people drink Kool-Aid that had cyanide and they did it willingly. It's used now to show how people can give up thinking and let someone else control them.

31. Actually, it was Flavor-Ade at Jonestown...
Kool Aid's parent company actually took out full-page ads at the time pointing this out. No kidding.

16. I'm curious
how they define "far, far left."

Is it simply those who stand in opposition to freedom destroying, constitution shredding, illegal warmongering, gay-bashing, neo-con nitwits?

They can't be referring to us as "far, far left" because we're communists. We're not. So, we're pretty much the same place we've always been...it's just that that which we oppose has moved so far to the right that it's easy for them to mistake our position.

No one said the neo-cons were brilliant, after all. Cunning, perhaps, but critical thinkers? Nope.

Sharp as a bag of marbles.

24. This means that the far right, extreme right right wing nut talk
is working and it's an effective way of describing them. They steal your talking points when they are effective.

28. Bush has a less than 45% approval rating, so that's pretty much BS.
The right and corporate media have been pretty successful in moving what is considered "The Center" very far to the right of what it is in any other advanced country, so I don't think we should be called "far left" for refusing to slide rightward along with them, just because a bunch of republicans called the DLC infiltrated and destroyed our party...

30. I want to say, I love how "liberal" isn't working anymore.
Edited on Sat Jun-04-05 02:54 PM by Bouncy Ball
You know why it's not? WE TOOK IT THE FUCK BACK.

That's right, I'll tell anyone who asks, on the internet and in person, that I'm PROUD TO BE A LIBERAL.

It means open-minded, it means compassionate, it means I USE MY BRAIN.

They realized (finally) that "liberal" doesn't have the same affect anymore. We should have done that years ago.

So they want to call me Far Far Left? LMAO!! Have at it, motherfuckers! You're just telling the truth!
For once.
