Reductio ad Obamaum

When a conservative or tea-bagger uses these labels or name calling: Marxist, socialist, communist in a discussion, attempting to discredit or one-up the dialog.

(Note: The mannerism stems from the culture of parroting conservative entertainers: Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc.)

John, "What have conservatives done to create, allow, or support affordable health care for ALL Americans?"

Bubba, "We don't need your socialist marxism!"

John, "Why do you think civil society is socialist?"

Bubba, "Big government = communism"

The mannerism is part of the hatred for Obama, hence the term: "Reductio ad Obamaum"
