Having read the article, the quote "...a propaganda technique aimed at fearmongering, arousing prejudice by using negative words (bad names) to create an unfavorable opinion or hatred against groups, beliefs, ideas, or institutions" seems fit best the speaker himself...

Obama has bailed out Wall street and attacked the American auto workers with the aid of a compliant union leadership. He's pro Capitalism , pro Imperialism. As long as its American Imperialism not that of China or India or Brazil. He's for American leadership in Europe. By which he means the American government calling the shots in Europe. He has a rag bag of political ideas that have their roots and relevance in the eighteenth century. He has no knowledge of economics either Bourgeois or Marxist. Consequently his economic policies will be constrained by his advisers who previously worked on Wall Street. His role will be seen by historians as the first President to come to terms with managing the decline of the American Imperial project..

What's wrong with European social-democracies??? In general health care is much better and way more affordable than in the US where 43 million people are not insured for health care. Cost of living and quality of life in Western Europe is on average much better than in the US and improving in the new member states of the EU. It is such nonsense to call Obama a radical leftist. He inherited the biggest mess in US history from the most incompetent president in US history. Give the guy a break, he's been in office just 4 months!

Shakespeare said: "Me thinks the lady doth protest too much." It was of course only a play. Political, albeit and throughout time -- the cast and players are always the same in the world of humans: those who do and those who be. Obama is a doer, not a being. His ego drive to be the first at whatever it is he has in his head about this idea. But, especially Michelle, her head of what it is these two were 'chosen' to DO. They do not appear humans satisfied with the art of being. Wild cards, the wind blows and the scent is opportunism in the form best to serve the poly-addicted 'monarchs' who are 'slaves' to the system of predatory capitalism. Of course the new world order idea is better for the technology god government of planet earth! Whatever can the other beings be thinking to not want to be farmed animals to those who are more chosen. Shakespeare has already closed the curtain more than once on this act of treason, hopefully Americans have the artistic genius to do the same.

This guy is another hack from the Rush-Reich, Get-Bill Clinton, Barry Goldwater for President, Voo-doo economics generation that is seeing its sunset in Cheney's swan song during his recent speechifying as the Bush era recedes into bitter historical memory. The latest gambit from the Reich Wing propaganda machine in America is calling folks--who are clearly merely moderate Democrats, centrists, and liberals of both wings of Congress--as "left." I.e. "socialist" (ooo here comes the "one party state") or "not American"; or rabble revolutionary; or irreligious and against solid moral tradition. Obama is hardly left. We note the word "social democrat" bandying about ala European model as Obama's direction. If it was only so. Anyway, Obama is merely a Liberal reformist and hardly talking about labor unions taking a leading role in the reorganizing of America's industrial society. Now that would be Leftist if their voice was really heard and acknowledged! Not about to happen. Today organized labor in America can only but ask for "a place at the table." We lament that today organized Labor is not much more than a large interest group. Most American working people aren'et members of labor unions. Until Capital and Labor find common interests they will always be antagonistic. Capital's interest is profits. Labor's interest is in making a living. Unions must be in the forefront to represent Labor's interests for Capital's interest isn't the same as Labor's. To Capital, Labor is but a "factor of production." Labor regards Labor as the production of real flesh-and-blood human beings who make families. To resolve Capitol-Labor antagonisms Leftists have historically talked about Labor owning the factory they work in. That subject has never been a topic in mainstream political discourse in the (alleged "left") Democratic Party. If it was a topic, neither Obama nor the Democratic Party would even think about bringing that subject up in the next four years--even if the American taxpayer "owns" a big chunk of GM, or whatever. Clearly Obama nor Democrats--though so alleged by the jokers such as this guy RT interviews (to spice up the controversy no doubt)-- is "Left." This guy comes from the Washington Consensus/anti-union political world. American unions aren't particularly "left." Anti-union people want to make the case that all unions are "left" which by implication makes them treasonous and anti-American. After all, some unions in the 1930s were "Left" and organizaed by Communist Party U.S.A. members. And of course all communists were under the control of the Kremlin in Moscow so the Reich Wing wing nuts in America into the Cold War Era would like us (and did) to believe. This guy is a graduate of the John Birch Society propaganda school. Are you reading this all you Russkie comrades?

The main question about author's opinion for me is whether he thinks it's bad or good to have this kind of pro-EU organization of state with opened borders, the shared economy of three nations (Mexico, USA, Canada) and "Amero-currency", just like Euro, in North America; if he thinks globalists' ideas are good or not. Anyhow, "the conspiracy theorist" sounds better than "a racist" in regards to author.

Odd, as a Canadian I see North American integration as a hardline right-wing policy to benefit the corporate and financial elites of our respective countries. I don't buy neoliberalism and I hate pretty much everything about conservative ideology, so maybe I just don't get how it's supposed to be interpreted. I mean really, how many half-educated, left-aligned people do you know spouting pro-"free trade" rhetoric, particularly after seeing what NAFTA did to Mexico? This really just looks like a Glenn Beck-style convoluted mess.
