One of my liberal friends made the argument before the election that, “Obama can’t be a Communist, because I saw the leader of the communist party on CNN the other day, saying that Obama wasn’t anything near communist.”
I said, “Well thats like a tub of butter getting mad and complaining about a tub of margarine for not being real butter.”
for later
BTW is this bum related to Jim Webb? They hold similar views.
That's part of it ... but the FAULT lies at the feet of the news media! Sheeple are Sheeple, but who guides the Sheeple ... the 2nd most trusted name in news? CNN? MSNBC? Even Fox didn't pick up on who this guy really was. (Eligibility & Credibility)
“Communists, intent on the destruction of America, are perfectly happy to take advantage of ignorant, useful idiots, who are in most ways, much more dangerous than open Communists.
ie. Meghan McCain!”

As well as nearly all of Hollywood and the vast majority of the “news” media, who prefer the softer “liberal” or the hip “progressive” to the much more accurate “socialist/communist”.
Fact is that if the socialist agenda is as wonderful as they say it is then why must they lie and obfuscate in order to pass it!
Just be up front with it, you commies, I am sure the slave nation will vote for it! /sar
That's why they're called sheeple.
