RALEIGH, N.C. – Barack Obama accused Republican rival John McCain on Wednesday of stooping to low tactics by labeling the Democrat a socialist.
"I don't know what's next," Obama, the presidential candidate, said at an outdoor rally in North Carolina. "By the end of the week, he'll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich."
Obama turned to ridicule to rebut McCain's daily references to Obama's encounter with "Joe the Plumber." McCain has capitalized on a moment when Obama told an Ohio plumber that he wanted to "spread the wealth around" by boosting taxes on wealthier people to finance a middle class tax cut.

McCain-Palin'08!!!
Maybe not a socialist but he sure is a liar (campaign financing)
Obama sure gets Testy when the truth comes out.
No, 0bama, those are things that people do voluntarily. You're planning on putting a gun to our heads.
I know, I know, from talking to libs over the years, they really don't understand the difference.
Well of course Obama is offended and sputters at the claim he’s a socialist.
Any COMMUNIST would!
The guy is a flat out black liberation marxist.
He still doesn't seem to understand the difference between sharing your own toys and peanut butter sandwiches,,,,,vs. confiscating and sharing OTHER PEOPLE'S toys and peanut butter sandwiches!!!
UNBELIEVABLE.
Our hard earned paychecks are like toys to you, Barack?
Pretty lame comeback and late in the game, as well.
This guy doesn’t close well with regular voters. We are seeing why.
Nope. You aren't a secret communist, it's obvious to all who have looked into what you really believe and stand for, that you are a communist!
0bama’s stupid answer shows that he’s going to FORCE you to “share your toys” and “peanut butter sandwiches” to those who do not have.
At least that’s the message it sent me.
Redistribution is Marxism.
Control of the means of production is socialism.
He’s in favor of both.
Clinton said Monica was unstable. Dems lie.
Your tagline is most awesome!
The good news is that this issue is sticking, and Obama is keeping it alive by responding.
Senator Obama, explain the difference between your plan for economic “justice” through redistribution of wealth and Marx’s principle “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
Explain how your agenda differs from the principles of socialist reform in America as espoused by Bill Ayers.
In short, what is NOT socialist about your plan?
I’d suspect Obama of using his peanut butter sandwich to snuff one of his allergic classmates.
All leftists get teste when you tell the truth about them.
As the saying goes,
if you want to anger a conservative, lie about him,
if you want to anger a liberal, tell the truth about him.
