A New Truth Czar?… GOP Rep. Calls Obama a Socialist During SOTU
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, 6:55 AM
It looks like we have a new Truth Czar.
As President Obama was delivering his State of the Union Address last night Rep. Paul Broun M.D. was delivering his response via Twitter.
The Hill reported:
GOP Rep. Paul Broun (Ga.) rebuked President Obama using perhaps the sharpest language among his Republican colleagues following the State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Broun took to Twitter during the address, accusing the president of believing in socialism. Obama touched on several economic themes during his address, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to be competitive in the global marketplace.
“Mr. President, you don’t believe in the Constitution. You believe in socialism,” the tweet reads…
…The atmosphere on the House floor during the address was a bit more subdued than in recent years and dozens of members from both parties sat together rather than in the traditional partisan seating arrangement.
Like other members, Broun live-tweeted the address, posting 40 times during the speech that lasted over an hour.
“Freezing spending at record high levels is not making tough decisions,” he also tweeted.

I propose that we all call him Barry Soetoro or Soebarkah until we see some documentation. Gov. Meathead out in Hawaii has just stated that they do not have a long-form birth certificate on file for a Barack Hussein Obama, II. Someone needs to tell him he should check under Soetoro/Soebarkah and maybe he’ll find it.
Militant Conservative commented:
Truth is a hard pill to swallow.

I never call him president. He’s a marxist infiltrator. His legal name is Barry Soetoro and unless he retook the oath after his adoption, he remains Indonesian. The charade is getting harder and harder to swallow. The Supreme Court and Congress look so, so diminished. They truly have no idea how awful they look in the eyes of the true Americans in this country. Not the marxist useful idiots, but true Americans in the heartland. Sitting together made them look like a bunch of grade schoolers. The ribbons were another tacky touch. I’m revolted by it all. I praise the Dr. Broun for his truthfulness.
RedBeard commented:
Truth is always good. Thank you, Dr. Broun.
succotash commented:
#7 aprilnovember811 I agree with you 100%. Couldn’t have said it better.
Tank commented:
Good show! We need the other GOP reps to understand the obvious.
The Underground Conservative commented:
I don’t call him President, either. He may be the president, but he is not my president. For the first time ever, I’ve used words and phrases like “bastard” and “son of a bitch” to refer to the president. And those are the nicer references to him. He’s the first elected official I’ve ever wanted to cold-cock.
#1 AMERICAN commented:
ODUMBO is a marxist socialist MUSLIM….where is the birth cert???? seems like an esy enoung question you traitor…
mercador commented:
Thank God for basketball. I did not see his speech. Was his mouth moving? he was lying I am sure.
nelli commented:
Socialism is mentioned so often in connection with the Pres. , it seems that some journalist ought to ask him straight out whether he would like to see America become a socialist country. Or ask him if he is a socialist. But he doesn’t give opportunity to anyone who might actually ask, does he?
Chris commented:
Sort of like ol’ Otis on the Andy Griffith Show decades ago, ifi he took a pledge and promised not to drink any more —
— than he currently does, but also not explicity promising to drink any less, either.
A drinking freeze! All hail the soon-to-be-sober Otis! Why, it’s a wonder to behold, isn’t it?
*hic!*
Well, he will eventually become sober once all the planetary alcohol has been consumed, so at least the goal is noble, if not the means to get there. And intentions are all that’s really important, aren’t they?
Riiiiiight….

Keep speaking out Congressman Broun. Silence is assent.

Muffin commented:
It’s true. And Socialist/Communist principles are diametrically opposed to the principles of self-government outlined in our Constitution. Thus, the current problem in this country.
Muffin commented:
(how do you do those neat-o symbols?)
Muffin commented:
I just found Obama’s long-form in my Fruit Loops box.
psych
Ed commented:
of course Obama’s a socialist…why do you all think he kept using the sputnik reference. Obama loves all of those socialist/communist achievements!
∅ commented:
Muffin, it’s called the empty set symbol. You type the following:
Ampersand(shift+7) + “empty” + semicolon (;), without any spaces in between.
You can do a search for “html code special characters” as well. There are several websites with a list of many of the characters.

tj commented:
for the pResident (I don’t call him President either!)
to freeze spending at triple the previous administration would be like an indivudual to freeze spending to match the level of the week they went Christmas shopping!
btw.. is most of this spending even Constitutional?
Where does it allow the country to operate at a deficit?
Or send money to foreign countries?
Or make our children indentured servants? (by creating a debt they owe at birth)

The Haney Project was good last night. I mentioned how tacky I thought the ribbon thing was. Maybe this is why they wore them. I hate to say this, but Paul Ryan looked like his mother pinned it on him before he went to school. I really regret having to say it, but it took away some of his credibility.

Let’s hope he isn’t pressured to apologize for this statement in a couple of days.
It’s about time that a spade be called a damned spade.
OC Rick commented:
Redneck Idiot. He must have missed the part where the President called for the END of Corporate Socialist Welfare for Big Oil (60 Billion) a year and put that money to use helping smaller US Co’s invent new energy for the future.
bigkahuna commented:
OC Rick…Until I know what those so called tax breaks for oil compnaies actually are I will hold my praise. But he doesnt plan on cutting that money anyway He wants to use it to INVEST/ Steal from TAXPAYERS to give to GREEN energy companies who are not competitive.
Like solar companies that make panels that are so expensive they need subsidies to biuild, buy and install them. Like the compnay that got tax incentives and is now moving out of the country.
If companies are just getting tax breaks for the monbey they invest in drilling , explorations etc then I have no probnlem with them like any other business.
But 60 billion will just be funneled to money losing companies to be “profitable” Ethanol is that same boondoggle. Our foods get more expensive so we can feel better abouit gas that costs more ??? No thanks

*gasp* Why Rep Broun, where’s the civility? Where the bleep is the bleeping civility!?! Have you no shame, Sir?
Hey, all this stuff is pretty darn good… well, maybe except for that OC Rick guy… kind of a wet blanket. But you other folks are darned funny. And here I thought that all us Conservatives was sposed to be Old. White. Fat. Rich. Grumpy. Really really grumpy.
Zilla of the Resistance commented:
Oh SNAP! I think I’m going to need to learn some more about Rep. Broun!
nhale commented:
Do any of you really know what socialism is? You may not like Obama, but he’s no socialist.
RedBeard commented:
#33: You can’t possibly believe that, unless you yourself have no idea what socialism is, or haven’t read the news since the 2008 election season.
Hedgehog commented:
What is a Socialist? Remember, Socialism is nothing more than short term parking for full blown totalitarian Communism. He is a Communist! He is playing it cool with the rhetoric, but his policies, and the awful laws that he thinks will bind us, are pure Communism. He is now setting the stage. I give it six or seven months before they really go nuts. When they turn their true believers loose, watch out. They know that they are loosing. They are all in. They will eventually let their nutty followers, who, by the way, are all expendable, loose. Wait. Watch. Prepare!
Taqiyyotomist commented:
33
None of us here will ever, EVER define the term the way you want it defined. This is the way you taqiyya-practitioners always want it, and so please, just go away. We’ll never have a debate with a Lib about either “communism” or “socialism” because you Libs never want to accept a common definition of terms. It makes you think you’re more intelligent, and it makes us realize that when a Lib wishes to avoid talking about a concept, that Lib will seek to negate all known definitions of the terms related to that concept.
Seen your kind a thousand times before, nhale, and I know that it’s useless to debate someone who cannot ever define terms, when they wish to feel superior by the “outwitting” of taqiyya instead of useful discussion and debate.
Jamesb commented:
Nicely done! Good job Dr. Broun!
Now, let me HONOR last year’s “Truth Czar of the SOTU Show” Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) “YOU LIE!”
Iconoclast commented:
# 36, Taqiyyotomist: as an acquaintance of mine wrote several years ago when anklepants was disgracing the Oval Office: “I will no longer debate a liberal because I feel they are beneath contempt. Just communicating with one contaminates a person.” My view is considerably less charitable.
Mark S. commented:
If you do not call him Mr. President, or the President Obama, then you’re disrespecting the office. Like it or not, unless/until he’s removed from the office, he is still the President of the United States.
You don’t have to necessarily like or respect the person holding the title and office, but you need to respect the title and office.
It’s one reason why I have no love for any media personnel, when they referred to President Bush as “Bush”, it showed me they have no respect for the office of the Presidency.
SSBN 627(B) commented:
I dunno, Mark, it’s kinda tit-for-tat anymore. I’m about of a mind to take the gloves off and play by the same rules they do. I know it’s debasing and lacking in whatever they define as ‘civility’, but enough is enough.
