  • It's always chilling when the Left lets its mask slip. "Boot on the throat" is Fascist language, worthy of Mussolini. Would John F. Kennedy authorize such a characterization? If Lumpy had tried that on J.F.K.'s watch, he'd be out on the street that afternoon. Because he speaks for Obama, Gibbs gives us a good idea of the Oval Office mindset.

  • This "boot on the throat" is a chilling revelation of the way this regime really operates. From Orwell's "1984":

    There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed...there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler...there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever!

  • i dont think "boot on the throat" reveals anything about the fascist nature of the current government. to me its an obvious attempt to show that the administration is angry about the oil spill and a play to get the people on their side.. same reason the administration stressed "BRITISH petroleum" several times.. common enemy type of thing, not a hidden fascist agenda that sometimes can be seen when referring to environmental disasters: "we must exterminate the inferior oil company! kill kill!"

  • At least the characterization is pretty honest to what they were doing. You cannot do much of anything that's useful when someone's boot is on your throat. He may as well have said that the beatings will continue until morale improves.

  • our ocean is dead thanks europe you ocean killers!

  • Gates needs a boots in his ass.

  • Robert, Obama needs a Boot on His Throat.

  • What is our federal government doing putting their "boot" on anyone's throat?
