When Lenin did this, it was called Communism.

Conservatives are the biggest, loudest hyprocrites on the face of the earth. They love to think of themselves as intellectuals, but there’s so much cognitive dissonance going on it’s kind of terrifying.

They’re mad at Ben Bernake?

Well, we know Obama isn’t a member of that party, so let’s explore the first part.

Socialism –noun 1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

Then someone put up the 1928 Socialist platform. Please, God, in the last month of this election, let McCain/ Palin declare the following to be abhorrent, unacceptable ideas:

4. “An adequate national program for flood control, flood relief, reforestation, irrigation, and reclamation.”

7. “A system of unemployment insurance.”

9. “A system of health and accident insurance and of old age pensions as well as unemployment insurance.”

10. “Shortening the workday” and “Securing to every worker a rest period of no less than two days in each week.”

11. “Enacting of an adequate federal anti-child labor amendment.”

12. “Abolition of the brutal exploitation of convicts under the contract system and substitution of a cooperative organization of industries in penitentiaries and workshops for the benefit of convicts and their dependents.”

But seething mobs shouting about their anger and accusing people of treason and terrorism, that’s just real Americans expressing what’s in their hearts.

Honestly, what are we going to do with these people? If you think they’re angry now, wait until November 5. This gurgling stew of arrogant stupidity and self-pitying vindictiveness has been churning in America’s gut all this long night long, and the nightmare it has brought will never accept that we have the right to awake.

With all the new material that has come out the last few days, I don’t know what to think. These people actually think Obama is a terrorist. That’s fucking scary.

This man referred to Sen. McCain’s Senatorial colleague (who wasn’t Bernie Sanders) as a ‘socialist’ and Sen. McCain declined to repudiate his comment. This was not some nutjob blogger making a comment that Sen. McCain will never waste his time reading and thus will never be made aware of. This was somebody speaking specifically to him.

And Sen. McCain let it go.
