Communist in the US is the word for anyone to the left of you.  So if you are a member of the Alaskan Independence Party (my suggested slogan for them: "We don't need your stinkin' handouts!") then you run on a platform of accusing the republican and libertarians of being communists.  If you are a libertarian, you call the republicans and democrats communist.  Etc.

And if you are a Republican, you accuse your less extreme fellow Republicans of harboring communist sympathies until the whole system collapses in on itself due to accumulated stress which used to be resolved through duels but now has no outlet.

Calling someone a communist is sort of the American political system's own special version of Godwin's Law.

If you're really desperate for mud to sling, you can go all the way to communazi.

Or in the case of Obama, Atheist Muslim Communist-Nazi.

I've been called a long-haired granola-munching commie pinko before, that was a little strange. I've learned that politically-based insults around here don't mean anything beyond, "I don't like you!".

(Note that I have short hair, dislike granola, am a fan of socialism rather than capitalism, and harbor no thoughts of supporting the Soviet Union.)

They've replaced duels with awkward bathroom rendezvous.

D'oh!

Don't forget that he's a Kenyan post-colonialist as well!

Yes, American politics is so crazy that people have criticized Obama for being against the African colonial empires of the first half of the 20th century.  It is never made clear whether his fault is in support the breakup of the European empires before he was born or if the president's job is to support a re-establishment of colonial empires on the continent.  All they know is that he's racist against white people.

Mitt Romney gains a level in the total dick prestige class.

You all missed Martian.

EDIT: Put the quote tree back in to make the joke clear.

I thought he was the most liberal of all the major Republican candidates and Ron Paul the extremist, yet he is being a male reproduction organ while the comments on the video seem to love Ron Paul.

edit; Now I think about it, Romney was mentioned as the most moderate one, which isn't necessarily liberal.

Since Aqizzar is probably catching some zzz's, I'll do the honors for him. I hope he doesn't mind.

Okay, rule number three I guess, no moonbat conspiracy theorizing.

Not that I think you're seriously advocating that Barack Obama is secretly Barry Soetaro, Chrononaut and teenage space explorer. But seriously...we have neither time nor inclination for discussing every loonball thing that's been said about the President.

So, Colbert looks like he might actually run in South Caroline. He has transferred his Super PAC to the completely independent and totally not strategizing with him John Stewart and is preparing to announce his candidacy.

[RedKing]

And if history is any example, the South Carolina GOP (I assume he's trying to run as a Republican) and State Board of Elections will have none of it. The only people allowed to make a mockery of democracy in South Carolina are the voters of South Carolina themselves! 


Seems awfully late to try and get on the ballot too, unless he's going to run independent in the general election. In which case, more power to him.
