The problem with Obama's anti-Romney campaigning

[You kip if you want to...]

The Obama campaign has been targeting Romney viciously and unfairly over the last few weeks over his business career. Should I point out that Obama was a lawyer, which are much more disdained than businessmen? We'll leave that for another time.

What Obama is doing is exactly the thing that fires up the crazy "birthers" and the claims that he is a socialist or a communist.

He is attacking capitalism. He is attacking business. Business is capitalism. AMERICA is a capitalistic society. Remember, just over 20 short years ago, we would have had a nuclear war to prevent (or attempt to prevent) the loss of our capitalistic society. Now, we have a President who is blatantly and immorally attacking capitalism, capitalistic careers, ideas, ect.

Then you wonder why the crazies begin to call him a communist or socialist.

If it fires up the birther crazies and rallies them to Romney, well that's Obama's objective achieved. And he's not attacking capitalism, he's attacking those who abuse capitalism - big difference.

You just don't do that. What do you say about the boom of the 1980s? Do you attack the so-called corporate raiders and "hostel" takeovers (eye-roll) or do you consider them part of the 80s economic success machine?

If you were to lose your job as a result, it's unlikely anyone'd shrug their shoulders and say "ah well, that's capitalism". That wouldn't make them some raving socialist.

So what are we to assume? That the reason for some of the economic success of the 1980s was at the expense of others? That the whole notion of a nuclear war between Communists and Capitalists was just a misunderstanding and we should freely allow communist ideas to be taught and discussed as logical in America? I heard people scoff at the idea of executing the U.S. solider who was the perpetrator of the Wiki Leaks information. Did I miss the memo that suddenly treason wasn't punishable by death? Why? Because it is the year 2012? I heard Occupy Wall Street protestors openly saying they were communists. Why were they not considered an adversary? Did I miss the memo that communism is something that is "okay" and just another viewpoint? Why? Because the Warsaw Pact is gone?

These aren't communist ideas! What part of that don't you get?

This 29 minute film was produced by Newt Gingrich's SuperPAC and is much more scathing than anything Obama's released. Is Newt now a communist?

You know you're speaking to a Republican when suddenly everyone who disagreea with them is a communist who wants to replace the Bible with Marx and Engels' Manifesto.
