    Straight from Obama's mouth on the U of M campus.

    Well, at least he's being honest now. All you folks who said he wasn't a socialist, please check in here.

    Maybe he meant people classifying his stances on socialism were wrong about what socialism is. That ever cross your mind?

    Context, AHF, context.

    When we say (regarding Bruce Bowen), "They call it dirty, we call it crafty", we aren't admitting that the whiny Suns fan is correct when he calls Bowen dirty. We are simply pointing out that they are using "dirty" for something that is crafty, but not dirty.

    Now replace Obama with Bowen, "socialism" with "dirty", "fairness" with "crafty", and your biased ass with whiny Suns fan, and it makes for a perfect metaphor.

    Sun fan allegation doesn't make Bowen dirty, just like brainless Republican catch-phrase doesn't make Obama socialist.

    Actually I consider myself a libertarian, but there's only two viable candidates this election and Obama's so far to the left he's pushed me hard to McCain.

    McNasty admitted today or last night that HUSSEIN was NOT a socialist, on Larry "softball" King, IIRC.

    Well, I guess that's it then. Point proven. He tried to hide it as long as he could, but you and the right wing radio guys were just too smart.

    So, I guess this means the election is over now, huh? I mean, America won't support a socialist, right?

    Oh well. Obama tried.

    Why are conservatives so dumb? Socialism is when the government owns the means of production. According to conserva s, the difference between capitalism and socialism is a top tax bracket of 39 percent instead of 36 percent. Distribution of wealth has NOTHING to do with the government owning the means of production. The recent partial nationalization of the banks is an example of partial, limited socialism.

    The top tax rate will go back to 39 percent in 2010 if the Bush tax cuts expire. Neither candidate will be able to extend them. The difference in their positions is that Obama would seek to repeal the Bush tax cuts right away for the top earners, McCain would let them expire in 2010. So I guess they're both "socialists."

    Idiot conserva s.

    "And Alaska — we're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs."
    I think I could hear The Internationale playing in the background.

    Why are conserva s so dumb?

    Why are you so dumb ? You are describing one view of Socilaism and it is not even a popular one. Socialists hate capitalism because they believe that the wealth is concentrated among a small portion of society and makes it an unfair system. There are different theories of socialism -- all with the point being to distribute the wealth evenly

    Word is we're going to pass en lements, a welfare system, and a progressive income tax if Obama becomes president. Its amazing the new socialism that people are willing to accept in this country.

    If that's your definition of socialism then you are in a socialist country.

    All very consistent with a socialist agenda.

    Then you live in a socialist country and we've had the most socialist president in history for the past 8 years and 2 socialist candidates right now. If you want to expand your definition of socialism to make Obama a banner example then you might as well acknowledge that you live in a country that has long embraced "socialism" and stop trying to make it seem as though Obama is going to nationalize the entire economy (although I admit that might be done before he takes office by the socialist republican administration).

    I don't disagree with any of that. I just don't thing the solution to our problems is to grow the govt even more and become even more socialist.

    Thats a nice observation but you fail to point out the alleged negatives.
