Harold Meyerson, one of the columnists at the Washington Post<\/a> writes today that Obama isn’t a socialist, and he should know, he claims, because Meyerson is a socialist. He begins his little instructive column by taking offense that anyone would even consider Obama a socialist;<\/p>\n

Well! Even as we all turn red, I’ve still encountered just two avowed democratic socialists in my daily rounds through the nation’s capital: Vermont’s Sen. Bernie Sanders . . . and the guy I see in the mirror when I shave. Bernie is quite capable of speaking for himself, so what follows is a report on the state of actual existing socialism from the other half of the D.C. Senators and Columnists Soviet. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, “avowed” because there are very few people who wouldn’t admit it unless they have the protection that the Washington Post provides for their assembled crackpots and assorted lunatics.<\/p>\n

Meyerson continues that no one on the planet wants to nationalize industries anywhere in the world “not even Hugo Ch\u00e1vez” he says. No, not even Ch\u00e1vez…well except for the oil industry<\/a>, the banking industry<\/a>, the milk industry<\/a>, the rice industry<\/a> and the electricity and phone industries.<\/a> Um, what else is left to nationalize – oh, yeah the media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meyerson rambles on about “social justice”, national healthcare and all of the other blather about things he’ll never have to pay for as long as Conservatives stand firm against the socialist wave sweeping the country. After reading his lie about Chavez, I could hardly bring myself to read the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
