The lie:
"The emergence of an extreme far-right accelerated
sharply in reaction to the overturning of the eight-year rule of the
right wing with the 2008 election of Barack Obama, an African
American and a liberal with a grassroots base and generally
progressive agenda."
Is Barack Obama a "liberal?" No.
Is
Barack Obama's agenda a "generally progressive agenda?"
No.
Obama represents the most reactionary Wall Street imperialists, the
monopolists. Obama's agenda is solidly reactionary without any
progressive overtones except for the liberal and even left rhetoric he couches his reactionary agenda in. Mussolini was a similar master of linguistics.
To the extent Obama has a "grassroots
base" it is because of deceit and those on the "left"
like Sue Webb making up lies about him. These lies confuse people.
These lies cause disorientation. These lies divide the left. These
lies divide our movement especially the working class movement
already being mislead to begin with.
