If you think that President Obama being called a 'communist', 'socialist' or whatever epithet du jour by 'white' wingers is something 21st century that the conservafools have conjured up, note the circa 1968 protester and what they are calling President Lyndon B. Johnson in this photo.
Does this rant look familiar? And you thought studying history was a waste of your precious class time.
This is a small sample of what Jorge Santayana was talking about when he uttered his classic comment 'those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it'.
Right wingers have flung the 'communist' or 'socialist' tag at not only President Obama, but LBJ, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. If you hit Google you'll find a few posters that already have current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pre-slimed with it as well.
Same conservacrap, different US president.
