Fox Nation Cries "Commie Menace" over Obama's New Campaign Slogan

Posted by Margarita -3pc on May 01, 2012 · Flag

In case you didn't have enough proof that Barack Obama is a socialist, Fox Nation has generously provided you with more. Only hours after the President unveiled his new campaign slogan, "FORWARD", the Nation joined the right-wing bandwagon to scream that the word has long-standing ties to Communist and socialist causes.

The Nation linked to an article from the Washington Times which pointed out that the word "forward" was frequently used in left-wing publications, to reflect "the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism." "Forward" was the name of two radical German newspapers and a publication founded by Vladimir Lenin, as well as the East German Army soccer team. The Times didn't mention Chairman Mao's Great Leap Forward, but the Weekly Standard (surprisingly, because it's usually more restrained) leaped in to fill that void. The right-wing bloggers didn't bother to mention that "Forward" is also the motto of the state of Wisconsin ( though Think Progress did). 
So there you have it, gentle reader. Definitive proof of President Obama's socialist tendencies (if his taste in theater didn't already convince you). Are we really in for six more months of this garbage?

“Forward” is commie because it is at odds with the ideal world of all RWers expressed by either of the following:

1) Stagnant
2) Backwards

I was so disappointed in 2008 and 2009. I was expecting marching hoards singing The Internationale to be clogging every street in the nation. Didn’t happen. Oh well. Oh, and right wingers, what exactly has the President done to strip you of your guns and ammo, the two things you hold most dear? Absolutely nothing is the answer.

Obama 2012! He ain’t no commie, just a middle of the roader.

I have seen Obama with a hammer in his hand ! Isn’t that a proof that he is at least half a commie ?

Repubs want to turn back the clock to 1955 (or better yet, 1925) in every possible way. ‘Racing backwards’ or ‘Backpedaling’ would be good slogans to rally their base. It is not surprising that anything suggesting the future would seem like an evil curse to them. I can’t resist one more slogan: ‘Elect Republicans: Make the Future the Past!’

The US Navy-US Marine Corps Joint Operational Paper, published in 1995, was called “Forward . . . From The Sea”:

I eagerly await the denizens of Fox Nation condemning the USN/USMC as communist organizations . . .

Some say that Congressman McCarthy-West (R—Wingnutville) will demand the immediate investigation of all NFL quarterbacks who throw “forward” passes.

Hmmmmm.
The motto for my Army unit was ‘Always Forward’.
Does that mean that I was in the Commie army??

“…the word has long-standing ties to Communist and socialist causes.”

It also has long-standing ties to CD and DVD players all over the world.
