- psiege, on 10/08/2008, -60/+143No, you say Obamadinejad's a socialist? Say it ain't so Joe!
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -39/+117Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary)."
I'm not shocked. Are you shocked? Who doesn't know he's a socialist? - CTRaiderThe1st, on 10/08/2008, -33/+100Seems like a very well put together evidence with archive links to pages that have been removed (for who knows what reason ; ).
- planet87, on 10/08/2008, -31/+90This is news? The socialist party simply folded into the Democratic Party.
You guys must realize that anyone graduating college after 1990 or so have been taugh socialism is cool.

Like 1/3 maybe 1/2 of the democrats in congress belong to this group. - psiege, on 10/08/2008, -11/+61Unfortunately, it seems roughly 45% of the voting population doesn't know this. The kool-aid must be good!
- ericjohnson0, on 10/08/2008, -34/+82Excellent find!
- badqat, on 10/08/2008, -8/+56It's more like 20% like it, and 25% are too busy worshiping to give a crap.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -7/+50"Unfortunately, it seems roughly 45% of the voting population doesn't know this."
Sure they do. Why do you think they so vehemently support him? They just don't want anyone to point it out or say it out loud. That's why they bury the truth. - OwdenBowden, on 10/08/2008, -6/+42If you just listen to his plan for change you can come to the conclusion that it is all Socialism. So we now have the DNC promoting Socialism as democratic.
- psiege, on 10/08/2008, -7/+42True dat! ;-)
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -36/+70Let's find a mainstream news service that carries this and SHOUT IT EVERYWHERE
- flip2trip, on 10/08/2008, -6/+39I do believe it's grape.
- xman8, on 10/08/2008, -32/+65I have posted this before. So, forgive me for posting it again. The Democrats want socialism. Period. They will do "ANYTHING" in this election to get Obama in the White House.
This articles explains it well.
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

http://sweetness-light.com/archive/cpusa-and-obama ... - professor357, on 10/08/2008, -7/+38And you don't think the fact that as many as half the Democrats in Congress are Socialists? You don't think that is important?
"Move along folks. Nothing to see here." - inactive, on 10/08/2008, -4/+35Well, since the Libertarians can't break the two party system, I say they should follow the socialists example. If the socialists can take over the Democrats, the Libertarians should be able to run as Republicans.
- isamuelson, on 10/08/2008, -50/+80Darn. Can't read it right now at work since they block blogs. Maybe it's really Obama taking care of the lies?
Scary times are afoot, people. Gotta get out and vote for McCain and convince the rest of the sheep that they are not following the Lord but really Lucifer! - inactive, on 10/08/2008, -4/+33I just sent this to Rush.
- TruthExposed, on 10/08/2008, -33/+62As if this is any surprise.
20 years ago, the USSRs want to force socialism on the USA was viewed as a military threat. Today, we don't need their help to fulfill their agenda.
I guess the Soviets will win in the end. - ramiro, on 10/08/2008, -3/+31Use ctunnel.com ;)
- tkstock, on 10/08/2008, -7/+35I sent it to Hannity.
- planet87, on 10/08/2008, -3/+31It's important. There's just nothing new about it.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -5/+33Not in the VERY end!
- magecko, on 10/08/2008, -5/+32I think it's something like 99% of Digg's liberal base that scream that he's not a socialist or a Marxist or a neo-Marxist. Right ...
- wardawg31, on 10/08/2008, -4/+31I will send it to G. Gordon Liddy and Ann Coulter. (smile)
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -39/+65What will the people who claimed that that Palin is/was a Buchanan supporter have to say about this?
Anyways, submitted to Drudge, dugg, and favorited. - TheInformer, on 10/08/2008, -39/+63What's going to be fun is this scenario:
Obama wins the election.
Then, for the next 4 years the leftists will have to defend him and won't be able to. You'll hear comments like "I never knew he would try to do that". There will be daily bashing of him from the Republican, conservative, and libertarian sides of the political spectrum. You'll hear "can't we all get along" while they conveniently forget that for 8 years the liberal/leftist national media bashed Bush on a daily basis. Think about that. for 8 X 365 + 2 days Bush was bashed and attacked, and yet he still managed a 31% approval rating. After all that volume of bashing, you'd think Bush would have a 1 or 2% approval rating. - EZLA, on 10/08/2008, -32/+54It is past time for Harvard to release Obama's thesis on Russia,
- craigly, on 10/08/2008, -5/+26Preach it.
- Talastan, on 10/08/2008, -4/+21I'm at work so I can't send it to him, but someone needs to forward it to Glenn Beck!
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -31/+48And does anyone know that idiot Michael Savage's email address? He would definitely talk about this on the air.
- dualdiagnosis, on 10/08/2008, -31/+48New Party member, education reform with William "Mad Bomber" Ayers, religious education with Rev. "God Damn America!" Wright, married to Michelle "This is a mean country" Obama, cousin and supporter of genocidal Odinga of Kenya, Khalid Al-Mansour and Columbia Prof. Rashid Khalidi (google), front man for ACORN, voted against a bill to protect babies born alive during abortions, blocks all transcripts and history of attendance at Columbia, real estate advisor is convicted felon Antoin “Tony” Rezko, Fannie Mae VP Vetter Jim Johson, economic advisor Franklin "G Money" Raines, religious advisors Father Pfleger and James Meeks, it goes on and on.
Anyone see a pattern? Connect the dots? Hello?! anyone? - swrostmore, on 10/08/2008, -11/+27There is only one Democratic Socialist in the US Congress, and that is Senator Bernie Sanders.
While your so-called "Conservative" GOP representatives were voting AYE for $850Bn worth of "Socialism for the Rich," Senator Sanders introduced an amendment to pay for the mortgage bailout by taxing those who have benefitted the most from the market disaster (millionaires). Your "small government" representatives would rather the Rich get Richer and the middle class pay for their mistakes. - inactive, on 10/08/2008, -29/+44I am truly terrified at how indoctrinated the population (namely the youth) are by the liberal media... I predict our country will fall into a DEPRESSION not a RECESSION, if this man is elected. The people that are socio-economically able to invest will recoil and the economy will cease. Mark my words. I pray the lemmings who eat up rhetoric like candy stay home and don't vote.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -7/+22He's NOT an idiot. He's just midly insane. ;-D
- dualdiagnosis, on 10/08/2008, -28/+43Indeed, there is a disturbing pattern here. Obama's once-close radical Chicago associates are never jettisoned out of principle, but only at the 11th-hour when they became impediments to Obama's political career. Thus Wright is defended throughout his racist rantings, until he makes the unfortunate decision of bringing that hatred to DC's elite nexus at the National Press Club — and only then is immediately dropped, as Obama resigns from Trinity Church. Ditto Ayers. What made Obama cease communciations with Ayers was not the latter's radicalism (indeed Obama facilitated it by serving with Ayers to dispense millions to questionable organizations), nor even Ayers' boasts in 2001 of having no regrets about trying to blow up government buildings. Instead, 2005 coincides with Obama's ascension to the Senate and the plan to begin running for the Presidency — and thus Ayers, like Wright later, became expendable. Ditto Rezko, Pfleger et al.
hat tip Victor Hanson - Nannybell, on 10/08/2008, -14/+29Bill Clinton's own attorney Bob Bennett investigated McCain for a year and a half regarding the Keating thing, and he has stated publicly that he found no evidence of wrongdoing by McCain and that his investigation convinced him that McCain is a very honest man.
Palin seems pretty bright to me, but go ahead and call her dumb if that makes you feel special. She's clearly a highly intelligent person. Perhaps because she is pretty, she can't also be smart? Is that it?
As for any secessionist spirit in Alaska, nuttin' wrong with that, madam. Palin herself though no doubt merely agrees with the spirit within the AIP that is disgusted with the encroaching socialism and loss of personal freedoms and property rights in the USA. Many people in America.... myself for one!... feel exactly like that. It is in keeping with the American spirit regarding personal liberty. That's as opposed to friends of Barack Obama such as Ayers who is a Marxist who hates everything America stands for. And Obama's pastor Rev. Wright who preaches hatred of whites and calls for God to damn America. Yeah, a couple of patriots there. Good choice of friends, Obama. Gee, would that possibly indicate you agree with them? Naw!
You may now return to your socialist utopian pipedream... - algaeturd, on 10/09/2008, -8/+21REPUBLICAN CIRCLE JERK!
This is the funniest thread on Digg right now. I dugg it up just to show how irrational, illogical and uneducated republican fundamentalists are. I can't wait for the time when you go to Hell for supporting a regime that has tortured and killed and ran a campaign of hate and destruction.
So sad...you guys are losing, you're trying to shift the focus of the campaign just like your precious McBush. HELLO FELLOW PRISONERS!!!
Sink, sunk, SANK. - buddarien, on 10/08/2008, -9/+22What is even more pathetic is that any criticism of obammy will be construed as racism. Criticize the President and you are a racist, off to re-education camp.
Imagine how the PC police will shut down free speech and freedom of the press, all in the name of fairness.
Where is John Galt? - planet87, on 10/08/2008, -4/+16Great idea, but the problem is the socialists own the education and seek to dominantly indoctrinate and control others while Liberterians mind their own business.
It's like sheep competing with wolves. The wolves always win. - lynx44, on 10/08/2008, -21/+33I feel like I found a secret section on Digg or something. What is going on? Where did all the conservatives come from? Finally some people making sense, or at the very least providing an alternate view point.
- irisheyes1169, on 10/08/2008, -6/+17That's why I LOVE him! He tells it like it is and isn't afraid of the PC Nazi's. If that makes me a lunatic, I can accept that. There is a HUGE difference between a loon and an idiot. :)
Here is a link to his site; http://michaelsavage.wnd.com/ - inactive, on 10/08/2008, -25/+36It looks to me like this "New Party" was a movement within the Democrat Party grass roots to elevate candidates to further the socialist agenda. It doesn't appear that those candidates were "members" of an organized Socialist Party per se.
I understand that to those of us who recognize the threat of Barack Obama, this is a distinction without a distinction. But I don't think it is the smoking gun we wish it might be. All the names on the list that I recognize are Democrats, and belong to the Democrat Party. The fact that they espouse a Socialist agenda is not new or news. - banderwocky, on 10/08/2008, -4/+15Palin and her husband belonged to the Alaska Independence Party. She appeared on one of their promo videos telling them to "keep up the good work, and God bless". Here is the video of her addressing the AIP.
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwvPNXYrIyI
So go ahead and apply whatever nut case spin job you can to her association with this group. - inactive, on 10/08/2008, -35/+45Obama belongs to the party that will take America down....I have noticed all the world is pretty quiet....Iran is not making any threats...Lebannon is quiet.....No new real attacks by Al-Quida....in Iraq the surge is working or is it? could it be that all of these Muslim hate America crowd are waiting for Obama to get into Office? less then 30 days we elect a new President could it be people part of Obamas inner circle telling anyone to back off until after the Elections....if we were attacked or a major conflict broke out dont you think people in America would stay with the Republicans? I think they would who wants to "Change" Administrations in time of War? Obamas "Change" YES folks if he is Elected it will be "Change" alright and America will further go deeper into the hole and Obama along with Muslim Anti-Western crowds will destroy this country its not hype here....Obama 1 year of experience, with no Verified Foreign or Domestic affairs to look at? no past records to compare, questionable friendships with Radical Hate America groups....might be President?
- Veriander, on 10/08/2008, -3/+12There ya go!!!!
- ProfessorSYM, on 10/09/2008, -6/+15I went ahead and clicked through the New Party website to find out exactly what their "socialist" views were...everyone let me know what part of their platform you disagree with:
To promote equality, freedom, and prosperity, we dedicate ourselves to the following:
* Full public financing of elections, universal voter registration, proportional representation, free party competition.
* The establishment, defense, and facilitation of worker, consumer, shareholder, and taxpayer rights to democratic self-organization.
* The creation of a sustainable economy based on the responsible and reverent use of earth's resources -- taking no more than we need, replacing and reusing all that we can.
* A society in which we all take seriously our responsibilities as parents, workers and citizens.
* The democratization of our banking and financial system -- including greater accountability of those charged with public stewardship of our banking system, worker-owner control over their pension assets, community-controlled alternative financial institutions, and full disclosure of lending practices.
* A Bill of Rights for America's Children, guaranteeing true equality of opportunity by providing equal access to comparable education, health care, nutrition, housing, and safety.
* Community-control and equitable funding of our public schools, within which we seek not just equality, but excellence.
* Full employment, a shorter work week, and a guaranteed minimum income for all adults; a universal "social wage" to include such basic benefits as health care, child care, vacation time, and lifelong access to education and training; a systematic phase-in of comparable worth and like programs to ensure gender equity.
* A progressive tax system based on the ability to pay.
* Rebuilding our cities and metropolitan regions -- the cornerstones of a high-wage and ecologically sustainable economy -- through community-led programs of comprehensive, democratic, high-wage, and low-waste economic development.
* Communities in which residents, neighborhood organizations, businesses, police, and local officials cooperate as equal partners to provide a safe and secure environment in which to live and work and study.
* A reduction of national military spending to that necessary to the defense of the United States, and an end to unilateral military interventions.
* Trade among nations consistent with mutual improvement in living standards, reduced cross-national inequalities, and sustainable development.
* In all aspects of our economy and social life, an absolute bar to discrimination based on race, gender, age, country of origin, and sexual orientation, and absolute security in reproductive rights, fundamental liberties, and privacy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll go first...I disagree with their goal of a guaranteed income for every citizen, as it would be a burden on the taxpayer. Otherwise, I agree with everything else. If that makes me a socialist then so be it.
I believe in community, not corporate rule.
The rest of you can have your fascism. - inactive, on 10/08/2008, -7/+16He's a raving lunatic with moments of lucidity sandwiched in between being crazy.
- inactive, on 10/09/2008, -7/+15Hey Reptards, didn't your candidate call for another $300 Billion "Socialist" bailout last night? How'd that taste?
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -5/+13".....It's like sheep competing with wolves. The wolves always win...."
Not unless the sheep are supporters of the second amendment. Remember, the wolves tend to be anti-second amendment. - scottriffe, on 10/08/2008, -26/+34Is any moderately informed person surprised by this? I think not.
