Rep. Paul Broun: I was the first to call Obama a socialist
The Hill ^ | Jonathan Easley

Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) boasted in a fundraising letter that he was the first member of Congress to call President Obama a “socialist who embraces Marxist-Leninist policies,” according to text acquired by the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

“As a Member of the House of Representatives for the last few years, I have fought tooth-and-nail against President Obama's agenda at every turn,” the letter reads in part. “I was the first Member of Congress to call him a socialist who embraces Marxist-Leninist policies like government control of health care and redistribution of wealth.”

Broun, who is running to fill the Georgia Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R), has made a name for himself by describing Obama as an extreme leftist. Late last month, Broun accused the president of following the Soviet Constitution.

Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago prior to becoming a U.S. senator.


Broun recently took steps to fill the role of former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) as a top critic of the Federal Reserve. One of his first actions in the 113th Congress was to introduce legislation authorizing a massive audit of the central bank. He also may be considering a primary challenge to Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.).

Broun said in the fundraising letter his voting record was “virtually identical" to Paul’s.

“Truth be told, except for foreign policy, Ron Paul's voting record and mine are virtually identical and I wear it as a badge of honor when I'm accused of being a strict constitutionalist who doesn't bend or break when it's tempting to do so,” he wrote.

Paul Broun is a solid Tea Party Republican, and is trying to build an early lead before the GOP apparatus can destroy him. He's my favorite to take the seat of retiring half-RINO Saxby Chambliss. Broun is a medical doctor, a former enlisted Marine and Navy medical officer, and speaks in plain English about what he believes. One of the good guys...

Paul Broun also came out early and said he was afraid BHO would install a Nazi type police state. He caught all kinds of flak for that and now look. A nazi style police state is being installed.

Paul Broun is a hair on fire conservative and we need about about 50 more just like him in the Senate.

Rep Brown was, and I assume still is, right. King Obama is a communists black Muslim and his past proves it. Now for his future he is creating a dictatorship of America and is really moving fast. How do we stop him? Don't expect the GOP. It just might end up being another revolution and could be bloody. Hope not, but here we are. What can the few informed do? I've no answers, too complicated. I'm 81 and have witness such insanity of millions of Americans I have little faith.

I see my point didn’t get across...my bad...Obama was still reelected. Yes we need fifty more like him. Mr. Broun, I mean. It is an uphill fight with enemy #1 the media. In my opinion. Words are good, acts with the words are so much better.

Not only is he a communist, he is following Saul Alinsky’s
plan of overloading all critical government agencies so they will collapse and then impose socialism/communism on
us all!
