It is my personal stance that many of these comments below do reflect the ongoing actions and efforts of the progressive movement led by Senator Barry Obama of Chicago. While he may retain the residency of the Nation's White House he has yet to prove he QUALIFiED to be President of the United States of America.

Conservative media frequently invoke socialism, communism, fascism to attack Obama's agenda
Media Matters for America has documented numerous instances in which conservative media invoked socialism, communism and fascism to vilify health care reform, president Obama and congressional Democrats. For example:
•Limbaugh's website claims of Obama: "His education plan is Maoist ... and he is otherwise a Bolshevik. ... [H]e would be a Stalinist if he thought he could get away with it"
•Beck on O'Reilly Factor: "We are really truly stepping beyond socialism and starting to look at fascism"; compares proposals to Nazi Germany
•Limbaugh orders that there be no compromise on health reform: "You don't compromise with socialists"
•Hannity: Obama administration is pushing "the single biggest power grab and move towards socialism in the history of the country"
•Limbaugh compares Obama health care plan to Nazi policies
•Beck: "I was wrong. Our government is not marching down the road towards communism or socialism... they're marching us to a brand of non-violent fascism... towards 1984"
•Limbaugh: "Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate"
•Beck says Obama can be considered a socialist, because Marxism and progressivism are "the same thing"
•Dick Morris' self-confessed conspiracy theory: Obama "wants his plan to fail...so that he can make the case for bank nationalization and vindicate his dream of a socialist economy"
•Days after decrying those who say Democrats are "trying to turn us into communist Russia," Beck claimed Obama "has Marxist tendencies"
•Rush pulls out numerous smears to attack health care reform -- "Nazis," "Cuba," "totalitarian systems"

•Pat Robertson declares health reform bills "dangerous," "rushed through" by president "with a socialist bent"
•Williams: Health reform proponents may not support Mao's murders, but they support that "level of government control"
•Limbaugh wants to be precise: "fascism is a more apt illustration of what Obama is establishing"
•In CNBC host Cramer's "U.S.S.A.": "Comrade[]" Obama is a "Bolshevik" who is "taking cues from Lenin"
•NRO's Geraghty: Obama's health care plan is "really more Trotskyite in nature"
•Wash. Times invokes Nazism, publishes Hitler photo while criticizing health-care provisions in stimulus
