- As far as I know, none of the nation's CEOs were ever out teabaggin', right?

I'll exclude the health care insurance industry agi-prop douchebags, because those guys are, uh... douchebags.

- And since when did radical Marxists ever aspire to become the head of the greatest crony capitalistic bureaucracy in the history of mankind... by winning a popular election?

It thought that radical Marxists were the "Burn, baby. Burn" revolution types.


I think that I know what it is... Just sour grapes that the GOP are losers

1. Because the words "Socialist", "Marxist", or "Communist" keep their base terrified.
Remember, Adolf Hitler kept his own country terrified at the very thought of communists.

2. Because it makes them angry
And David Frum said that if they are less angry, then they'll watch less Faux News and listen to less Rush.

3. As a Marxist it is a tad insulting. Obama is no Marxist.
Nor is he a Socialist and certainly not a Communist.

Matter of fact he is probably to the right of Eisenhower and Nixon economically speaking.

4. I doubt that they even know what defines Marxism.
To add to that I also doubt that they know what socialism is either.
