Obama election victory 2008 sparks Spontaneous party outside the white house

[LordKaisen]

oh noes a flag.

[generaljdp]

This video is of great historical significance.

Want to know why?  Google "Origin of the Obama is a socialist meme"

[alen209]

people are idiots XD hammer and sickle on capital hill? that  would insult marx and lenin

[WestVfan]

nice hah

[qkelvinZZ]

Muslim through Obama has taken USA.

[MidouSan]

that wasn't a sentence. Please try to articulate your opinion better so I actually understand what you are saying thank you.

[procommenter]

Socialist countries rely on free-market economies to provide them with advanced technology. East & West Berlin is a recent example of how demeaning a communist economy is. West Berliners weren't tunneling to East Berlin. South Florida's Cubans aren't risking their lives in the Florida Straits to return to their communist, island paradise. Any country with "People" in its name must do its utmost to keep its people from defecting.

[inbrooklyn2008]

In fact, there were thousands of people who went from West Germany to East Germany - not that I would use any Soviet-modeled example as a paragon of true communism.

[procommenter]

Through checkpoints, not by tunneling beneath them.

[inbrooklyn2008]

Sure. You're still missing the point if you fail to distinguish between a communist economy as outlined by Marx and the state-dominated monopoly economic arrangements that existed in the former Soviet Bloc.

[procommenter]

Collectivism

[inbrooklyn2008]

ok...?

[SFVAfilms]

....and as for the number of flags, if you had any honor, even ONE should infuriate you!!!

[SFVAfilms]

YOU SELF-RIGHTIOUS MORONS! Hundreds of thousands of U.S. Servicemen and women fought and died before, during, and after the cold war so that flag wouldn't fly above our soil! You are disrespecting your own relatives that gave everything for you. I've lived in those socialist countries. It SUCKED!!!

[MidouSan]

Actually Id disagree with you. They fought and died for the freedom to fly said flags. Also please ensure you are not using the term socialist interchangeably with communist. Oh And if it makes you feel any better the flag flyer was actually a right wing troll trying to fan flames/make their own statement about Obama. this has been confirmed by university students who attended the spontaneous rally

[inbrooklyn2008]

YOU SELF-RIGHTEOUS MORON!

How dare you disrespect the thousands of members of the Communist Party of the USA who died in the war against Hitler and Tojo.

You are disrespecting the people who gave their lives so that you and I could fly whatever flags we want to protest with.

[MidouSan]

zing

[danschaoticmind]

@SFVAfilms I figured AS a former service member I would correct you on a large logical fallacy. We did not fight and die so the flag wouldn't fly on our soils. Like it or hate it, people are CONSTITUTIONALLY allowed to be a part of whatever party they wish. They also have the right to stand up and declare it. You are doing us service members a bigger disservice by telling people we fight and die to prevent communism. It's called the bill of rights. And I support THAT to the end.

[TzarCowski]

@SFVAfilms Yo shit face, Only one guy died in the whole cold war, and that was an idiot American pilot that flew over a Soviet Battleship during the Cuban missle crisis. The Cold War was not a war it was a competition of demonstrating power, it was essentaily 2 guys standing on a beach flexing, and neither one, wanting to start another World War. Fucking forget every putting "cold war" and "died" in the same sentence ever again. And i promise you that socialism will come to America.

[TzarCowski]

@TzarCowski Not full Communism, but socialism sure as hell will. And if socialism is that bad, explain to me why every developed nation has so many socialist policies, even your presious USA.

[ComradeRed2020]

OMG, that's sooo "unexpected" only 1 soviet flag. If there were 1000, that would be unexpected. Nothing special about 1.

[cornagainstsorcery]

The Soviet flag bearer is probably from the International ANSWER HQ, which is just off Capitol Hill--assuming they still are in that location.

[jsoynbnj]

One person waved a Soviet flag. One. In a crowd of thousands. No offense. I know you're not against Obama, but think about what you're perceived as implying. Ever study statistics?

[MidouSan]

And at what point in the video did I show that i believed the flag to be representative of obama supporters? I merely conveyed shock at it being there. nothing else

[Dave985033]

f'ing canadians, half of America doesn't even know where you are located.

[oodnac]

@Dave985033 Most yanks do not know anything about the state next to theirs; or about anthing not local.

[shuggy1991]

long live communist america lol it wont happen but hay i can only hope !

[smcneal057]

I can't see anything not even your faces...So who am I suppose to believe if you guys won't come out of the shadows?

[MidouSan]

talking about me and my friend? I apologize but my cellphone camera sucks and because I had JUST moved into the apartment I hadnt bought any lights for the living room. I wasn't trying to do it on purpose.

[Euthanizednigga666]

Fuck you, you narrowminded GOP, cut-throat, fuck my own mother for a bonus scum! If Obama is communist, then I guess so's the rest of the world then, eh? Stupid halfwits.

[MidouSan]

I hope that response was not directed at me, as I am not a GOP, how the fuck could i be in the GOP, im a bloody canadian. FYI I support obama, I couldn't believe america actually did it and voted a black president in

[Euthanizednigga666]

Relax, I love and admire the French and the Canadians. Why the U.S. can't adopt more humane ideals the same as the rest of the industrialized world is beyond me! I'm even moving to France in two years so that I don't have to worry about the next Republican scum president ruining every social reform Obama might make. I hope the French have a good ear to listen to my confirmations of all truths behind the horrors of capitalism and systematic murder for profits in(like the U.S. health care system).

[genouillefromdc]

This was nothing. check out U street - that was the really crazy party. They shut down that street. They had to shut down pennsylvania avenue along the whole road. it was all a happy party - there wasn't violence! drumming and dancing, yes.

[brieb08]

lol those weren't torches, they were lights.

and the soviet flag was an isolated incident and the guys behind them were being held back from kicking their asses for that stupid stunt.

[stephiega]

No Hell Obama,Hell Obama!!!It could be worse.That stupid enviornmental exteremist Al Gore could be president,Hahahahaha,now that there is a big joke.

Hell Obama.Hell Obama.

[nhaskin]

You people need to get a life. I swear you people are ignorant. just because he has communist ideas does not mean he will make us socialist. damn! then I can say that bush was a dictator who ruled with an iron hand. He oppressed the USA and other countries and you can see the whole world is celebrating because bush was a rogue who needs to go up for crimes commited in the united nations. so we are not ignorant and after 8 years we are free from his policies. I think america has waken up!

[MidouSan]

I wouldn't say communist ideas, more socialist ideas. I believe there is a difference between communism and socialism.

[moomoofranchize]

"CHANGE" is here!

RED America!

HEIL Obama! HEIL Obama!

Next change is the end of presidential term limits.

[ChrisJames003]

Obama is king

[opinion56]

if you guys are against communism why do you live in canada? doesnt make sense canada is pretty socialist

[MidouSan]

Socialism and communism is different. We fully support our socalist democracy in canada, both of us do. We where just kinda baffled at the flag being waved thats all.

[maloney0216]

The Kool Aid is wonderful!!!

[sscanv]

Ah, the thirsty Obamanians come out for their daily dosing of their Kool-aid fix. Drink sweetly my friends.... Dream dream dream

[animalleaderisgreat]

Christ almighty y'all need to get a clue -- the Soviet flag was brought by right wingers who have been doing this for months. Nixon staged the same kind of thing thing 40 years ago.

[BoutiqueMom]

YEA, nice theroy--and you probably think 9/11 was an inside job right?

We're in for change alright-that's clear!

[moomoofranchize]

we are soooo fucked! who the fuck did we just elect?

[Jahkillian]

After watching the celebrations around the world, this party is just sad.

This is the Mccain party....

"pushing and shoving everywhere" LOL "tourches" LOL AHAHHAHAAHAH

[armatus99]

one dude is holding the soviet flag and fox and friends go nuts, such bullshit

[FightForChangeNow]

everyone shut up it was right wing religous fanatics who wanted MCCain to win who had the soviet flag to try to spread there fear that Obama is a communist.

[kingrexrex666]

yeah...no one with any common sense would bring a commie flag to a celebration for the USA.

[teasert1]

Silver tongued DEVIL is elected--I don't mean this in a good way. Read your bible!

[catnipscratchingpost]

read your Bible, tool

[ghlover2001]

oh LORD!! obama is NOT the anti-christ. granted he's smart and ambitious enough to be, but NO. he's just a man who is an eloquent speaker, smart and against the right wing. he was also in the right place and right time.

this is just common sense, but honestly...with the economy in shambles and bush's approval ratings setting a record all time low in american HISTORY, how could you or ANY person think a republican was going to be elected for a THIRD term? we're not masochists!

[wildbrush81]

If Democrat Charlie Wrangle gets his way, these punk-ass kids with no respect for America will soon be getting their draft number in the mail.

[msbyanks]

I'm a student at GWU and know the kid holding the flag, and he is a fervent Republican that got kicked out of the rally by the Secret Service. I hope people eventually understand this.

[sprockette]

Was there any illicit vegetation in your near vicinity?

[MidouSan]

How the hell did you know...and yes there was.

[RedswordReborn]

I answered that in the first comment.

"I'll confirm what the GWU students said about the folks with the Soviet flag. I approached the group earlier decked out with my American flag bandanna to see what was up and they were basically screaming the same bollocks that a lot of folks in your comments thread here are spouting with the same manufactured 'socialist' rhetoric."

But, to put things in your little 'check-box' answer format, they were...economically right-wing social authoritarians.

[MidouSan]

thank you. And there is nothing wrong with disliking superflous comments

[RedswordReborn]

The only left-wing folks that I am aware of being there were members of the District of Columbia's Students for a Democratic Society who were there to speak with students about various issues that students face, including a monumental debt crisis that is yet another component of the credit crunch. Furthermore, education itself, a basic human right that all people deserve, is becoming more and more of a privatized commodity that is bought and sold with average individuals forced to bear the cost.

[MidouSan]

Im talking about the soviet flag wavers. Im trying to figure out if they where overzealous obama supporters/misguided communists or right wingers trying to start shit

[RedswordReborn]

I apologize for not being clear. The folks with the Soviet flag in that shot were quite clear about expressing their interpretation of the allegedly 'socialistic' tendencies of Obama's campaign as bombastically extorted by the McCain campaign's gross attempts to smear Obama's bid for Presidency, a trend that I think you will find has plenty of evidence supporting it. McCain and other detractors of Obama on the Right have already made the claim that he is associated with domestic terrorism.

[MidouSan]

so it was the rightwingers?(please as much as it's interesting I really don't need a long winded answer which gives you a chance to espouse other things...I just need a yes or no thanks)

[silentrift63]

I go to GW. Its a few right wingers waving the flag, they were pissed.

[MidouSan]

I have heard conflicting reports on this. Some say it was lefties some say it was right wing party crashers. TBH i think it was probably left wingers and obama supporters just don't want to admit that their may be communists who support obama. This is of course for obvious reasons

[coulsonrw]

I was there... the flag guys were causing trouble with the obama supporters so the cops escorted the commies out.

[MidouSan]

THANK YOU for that information!

[xcrunner12345]

I am a Georgetown student who was also there, saw the people with the communist flag. They were republics screaming about the socialist state of America. Secret service kicked em out.

Carry on.

[pboisei]

i had a feeling they were some idion republicans

[pseudohippie55]

wow...what the Hell are you talking about? it doesnt matter what party you belong to...the LAW says u cant wave a flag of another country in OUR COUNTRY...i knew u were a idiot Democrat...get a life jack ass

[xcrunner12345]

I'm sorry...where does that law exist? That's right...IT DOESN'T. That was such an inane comment that it almost didn't merit a response. So, sir, what the hell are YOU talking about????

[catnipscratchingpost]

that is completely FALSE it falls under FREEDON OF SPEECH. what country do you think this is?? we all come from immigrants, and if your grand parents don't have a flag from their country of origin, the must be native american indian.

[catnipscratchingpost]

freedom, sorry

[Jonz66]

it not all bad, I'm learning russian. IT GREAT!

[alexjp33]

I am student at GWU and i was at that rally. the students holding the soviet flag were not obama supporters, college republicans attempting irony, but attempting to disrupt the rally

they were escorted out by the secret service

[abdibill]

Obama = all those who really love Universe Intelligent Evolution, God, Life, whatever.

Obama = a "good big star", a deep thinker and a wise political player, sent by Life to mankind for one more "step" into a better future: more human, with union, justice and intelligence .

«Yes we can» Yes we will. Hard work is getting started...

good luck! .................

[SFVAfilms]

President Ronald Reagan spent his entire life fighting, and ultimately defeating, Communism in the late 1980's. His work freed the majority of Eurasia from this tyrany. Yesterday we invited that same tyrany into the White House with open arms. The Youth of America should be ashamed of their disreguard of the sacrifices of our fathers, and we should be ashamed of our failure in raising our youth to respect the sacrifices of our fathers.

[HeweHaarlemmer]

I saw this and was thinking the same

aj show listener is like holy shit

cbc showed it for a while

right before the obama speech they also

showed symbols 5 or six in white

did anyone see that?

[RedWOLF4Life96]

damn they wanted change there you go

you were warned here is your change TO SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM

omg America became what it fought against for so long

whats even sadder ppl minlessly follow

God help us all

[ghlover2001]

what's even sadder is that ppl "voted" bush into office in the first place. now america is paying for his crimes. but not for long.

NO MORE BUSH

YES, WE CAN

[catnipscratchingpost]

how old are you? do you even know what the "red scare" was or why it was scary? how about mccarthyism? were you just spoon fed the bs you spout out? if eveyone contributes we all reap the benefits. if you don't want to contribute, you get nothing. sounds like you just want to be lazy :(

[TheCrazyNewsDOTcom]

For those that are intrigued by this concept of american neo-communism I have one thing to say. Why are you suprised? Commie Obama flags and banners are all over the place, even cafepress is selling them. Just type things like "Obama Communist" or "Supreme Leader". So, lets rejoice this moment for we will remember it for years to come.

[JohnAgra]

WHAT THE FUCK... COmmie America?? FUCK THAT!

[JayAreDubya]

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

[AnteroC77]

yeah..just like the 2000 elections were raided by GOP supporters to stop the recount. wake up. The GOP is the fascist/socialist party.

[RDurk4]

"I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here, but we're going to have to work. We're going to have to struggle. We're going to have to fight."

[catnipscratchingpost]

So if you use the same words you think the same, jeez, it only suit syou to "quote" when it suits you, maybe if you had independent thought and critical thinking, you could do more that regurgitate what someone else told you made sense.

[RedswordReborn]

I was out there last night, incredible stuff. Streets all around the place were blocked.

The police pretty much just hung back and let the 'orgy' peter itself out, so not too many problems. I know a friend of mine got hit by a taxi driver who was trying to push through the crowds heading to the White House.

[MidouSan]

I have a million dollar question for you. Where you near the soviet flag. and if so was he told to put it the fuck away? from other videos I've seen it looks like he was. I don't care either or just curious

[RedswordReborn]

I'll confirm what the GWU students said about the folks with the Soviet flag. I approached the group earlier decked out with my American flag bandanna to see what was up and they were basically screaming the same bollocks that a lot of folks in your comments thread here are spouting with the same manufactured 'socialist' rhetoric. Take it from an Anarcho-Communist here, Obama ain't Socialist in the slightest. Learn to understand the difference between socialism and nationalization. Cheers.

[MidouSan]

you will confirm what? that its right or left wing. I see people saying right and left. And can you agree that while he may not be a socialist(Hes a democrat) he has SOME socialist ideas?

[catnipscratchingpost]

so if you are republican does that mean you have SOME Fascist ideas?

[righteouspolitics80]

not fucking russia lol typo

[MidouSan]

thanks for that. I was abit confused as i thought you meant an analogy of "America fucking russia"

[righteouspolitics80]

i thin kthis was planned. they think by putting out the communist flag people will willfully accept that type of government. do the people even know the oppression that came with stalin's bolsheviks. people are fucking stupid if they think that the flag means nothing or even approve of it. this is america fucking russia.

[muffinblogs]

thanks guys! that shit is crazy!!!

[iTellYouNoLie]

who wants to bet obama pardons bush, after bush pardons all his cronies? this will be funny.

:P

[d0861]

Pardon Bush? Uh... For what?

[iTellYouNoLie]

What do you mean? war crimes, illegal spying, torture, and 9/11 complacency.

[d0861]

1) I find it amazing that you actually buy into that leftist propaganda.

2) I find it equally amazing that you actually think that once Bush leaves office, he will be arrested and convicted of such charges.

"9/11 complacency"... Ha!

[iTellYouNoLie]

who wants to bet obama pardons bush

[d0861]

Good point... Dumbass.

[ghlover2001]

propaganda?!?!?!? the propaganda that you speak of comes from bush himself. sensationalism and fear tactics.

his reasons for going to war in iraq are null and void. i.e. complete bullshit. anyone who can't admit that, republican or democrat, shouldn't be allowed to breathe.

yes, he should be tried for unjust detention and torture. denying those the basic constitutional right to habeas corpus, a law we made to seperate us from the british monarchy.

no fucking child left behind, war crimes....

[ghlover2001]

impeach obama?! for what? the man isn't even in office yet. btw, impeachment is reserved for those who have displayed improper conduct in office and judged before a tribunal.

and obama=stalin?!?! did you even go to college my friend? study history or political science? granted i double majored in both, so i might be slightly more knowledgable...but my GOD, crack open a book and think before you speak.

and who would Jesus HATE?!? Jesus said love thine enemies. okay? OKAY.

[d0861]

You're right when you say the Iraq was a total blunder and mistake, but congress was lock-step with him on the whole kitten caboodle. Bush wont get charged with jack shit, let alone convicted of anything (no matter what Keith Olbermann tells you).

[dellsprospects22]

no these are probably communist students attending school here, but there is an american communist group, don't promote it..yuk

[MrLumpz]

Beautiful video guys!!!! America has had enough of the outright lies that Bush & company have given us the past 8 years. Obama is the truth (not the Messiah). No, he can't solve all of America's problems, but he can make more of a positive change than McLame and the "Dingbat on Wheels" Pailin could ever do!!!!!

Just call him "MR. PRESIDENT" folks!!!! :)

[MidouSan]

thanks, we fucking exploded when we found out he won. We even took video of his acceptance speech because it was such a historic event we wanted video we could look back upon decades later of where we were when it happened. TBH Canada is rather envious of you guys right now(And thats amazing considering we used to love belitting the hell out of you guys)

[scgamecocksgirl1975]

The Bible foretold of many things that Obama is for and about. The rose colored glasses will be gone, one day. People, don't you see that anyone who promises IT ALL can only deliver it one way. Through bigger and bigger government.

Go to church, read your Bible.

[MidouSan]

that was the most hilarious thing i've red so far today. go back to your "church", i don't want it. KTHXBY

[IG2HI]

I was raised in the church, and even I can see what a load of bunk that is. By chance are you a penocostal?

[scgamecocksgirl1975]

like leading the sheep to the slaughter...just u watch and see. And noone will be able to blame me. Too much biblicial stuff here and no, it can't be denied.

[MidouSan]

the bible fortold this? wow. thats cool. :|

[amersurfcrwn]

WHAT THE FUCK

[Bettelew]

Obama=Socialism.  No doubt.

[MidouSan]

and socialism does not equal communism.

[jjy0909]

"We the Sheeple"

[ASKADAN]

How many of these people will admit to voting for Obama when his inexperience begins to show and puts this country at risk?

[MidouSan]

You forget his VP will probably be able to Mentor him. as will his qualified Aids around him. On flipside if Mccain was elected He could have dropped dead putting, you betcha! sarah palin as president, and that is a scary thought.

[bgarr99]

I'd take a hot flag-waving, eye-winkin, corruption-cleaning, snowmachine-ridin, oil-drillin, pistol-packin, moose-huntin, bible-thumpin, beauty-queen governor over this ass- clown anyday.

[SHJ1011]

This Country is FUCKED!

[MidouSan]

care to eleborate further?

[SHJ1011]

that flag you saw right there, i think thats all that needs to be said.

[MidouSan]

I hardly think the actions of one individual or the lack of action of those around him/her(for not telling them to put the flag away or GTFO) can hardly be a benchmark for which to judge 60 some million people who voted for Obama. Thats like saying 10 white people raped an asian, ergo ALL white people rape asians. Which isn't logical, Or is it to you?

[msarafraz]

Sad day for America - Cubans were also happy when Fidel Castro came to power. Look at them now

[MidouSan]

Except i hardly think Obama will be able to turn America communist(Pity for the guy with the flag in the video, he will be very dissapointed) in the proper definition. Communist in your personal and petty definition of Liberal=Communism maybe.

[khody]

was there. It was awesome....half way through the White house lights turned out!!

[MidouSan]

Was I right about there being a communist flag there, and if so what was the general consensus around you(if you heard any) about the flag?

[khody]

I did see one communist flag. With that said the crowd were anything but. The crowd was predominantly young professionals and college students from the surrounding bars. The attitude was more like "this is a historic event lets celebrate"

[mckibbins]

these same people will turn on him when he doesn't deliver the goods they think is coming

he's just another politician full of shit. and half black for a little extra razzle dazzle

[jarail]

woah, crazy..

[amsterdam78]

Obama Obama!!

Left Revolution!
