At the non-risk of being hated by the NYTimes, Obama isn’t a socialist...he’s a marxist.

But, by the time Cohen realizes that fact, it will be too late.

Socialist Not an Insult...

...to a socialist.

Neither was fascist an insult to Mussolini, nor Nazi to Hitler, nor communist to Stalin.

To people who are into liberty, however, socialist is pretty insulting.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Ok, it’s not an insult... how about making it a flogging offense?

The Communist worms are crawling out fro the woodwork.

[Lancey Howard]

“Socialist” is just the politically correct word for “communist”.
Freaking duh.

Amazing. I never thought I would see the day when I would rather have the heads of Germany, France or Britain as our President more than our current U.S. President.

But that day has come.

[Brilliant]

Of course it’s not an insult. The lefties should BRAG about the fact that they are socialists. :^)

[Don Corleone]

Hey there NYT, hows your stock doing these days under Marxism?

[Rome2000]

Hang all of the marxists in America.

Every last one of them.

Isn’t a “New York Times Ethicist” an oxymoron?

...a set of ideas many advanced Western democracies find congenial, what with the accessible health-care, affordable higher education and good public transportation?

Nice attempt to spin. These aren't exclusive to socialism...in fact, they're not long available in socialism because bad management will lead to the loss of these.

What percentage of Americans already have access to health-care...100%, although not all avail themselves of it. Affordable higher education? The first schools were established by Christians and conservatives, not liberals and socialists. As for public transportation...people can spend their money how they like, they don't normally want to utilize public transportation...so building it at the cost of all for the benefit if the few is most definitely a socialist ideal...so I guess I'll give him the last point, although that gets back to the bad management thing.

[Defiant]

Since calling someone a socialist is the same as calling someone a slave master, I guess slavery is not a bad thing anymore.

[Kevmo]

The guy should have said he was a National Socialist, like I did.

Obama is a National SocialistOct 27, 2008 ...
Liberals are so friggin stupid that we could call Obama a National Socialist and they wouldn’t even know that we just called him a NAZI. ...

Socialist = Thief.

So if you don’t mind being called a socialist, you don’t mind being called a thief because that is what you are.
