- scottknick, on 04/09/2009, -6/+109Hey, this story is over 40 years old!
What? His name isn't McCarthy?
Never mind. - jkleinfeld, on 04/09/2009, -9/+103And so the Republican Party digs itself further into the pits of irrelevance
- jmrob, on 04/09/2009, -14/+107The crazy GOP are going back 55 years to try and scare Americans about Obama's plans. The GOP are horrible.
- booksnmore4you, on 04/09/2009, -7/+64When the history of this era is written, the hate talkers will pinpointed as one of the most wretched influences on the country in all its history.
- sugarazor, on 04/10/2009, -3/+45Between him and Michelle Bachmann, I really feel like the Republican Party has become a "greatest hits" collection. Any walls we can ask people to tear down? How long until we invade Panama? Is this why Newt Gingrich has reemerged?
- Echota, on 04/09/2009, -4/+45Bachus has to tell the GOP leader,Rush Limbaugh, who the 17 are first before he can tell anyone else.
- Fatcheeseguy, on 04/10/2009, -4/+44It's not like we have any socialist aspects in our nation right?
It's not like we have public education, roads and highways, police, or firemen right?
The aristocrats are just a bunch of hypocrites... - highlymodified, on 04/10/2009, -5/+41Say what you really mean, Congressman.
How about we force them into a Socialist Registry? And have them wear a symbol or something, just so people know who they are on the street. Public safety and all.
...why don't we cut the crap and imprison them? Of course, forced labor would be so much more productive. Let's open up camps for them to work in, so that they're away from society yet beneficial to it. Perfectly logical.
This McCarthy ***** may have inspired a frenzy for a bit during the Cold War, but that's the last time it worked. - yocouchdigga, on 04/10/2009, -5/+33no, you're an idiot.
- MJG2007, on 04/10/2009, -1/+28Even Newt is coming across as a nutbag lately. Between Newt, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Bachmann, and Bachus, you have a veritable Hexagon of Hysteria.

There is difference between Huffpost news and Huffpost opinion.
Is this good enough for you:

Now he will be on some people's lists as well. So now that he has a list, what is next? How silly. Maybe he will be checking it twice come Christmas time.
- sciencelovesyou, on 04/10/2009, -2/+26Or, we could do the research ourselves. Turns out it is a fake story, full of lies and deception and more lies, and a creamy underpinning of chocolate-based decep-
OH, WAIT A SECOND, NO IT ISN'T:

Considering the amazing tales of high-adventure on his website (http://www.spencerbachus.com/index.htm) I'm not particulary suprised.
Keep in mind, this is the same guy who blamed the failure of Internet Age Verification for Ross Boatman's childhood interest in poker... back in 1974!

Also, to be honest, YOU HAVE THE INTERNET. FIVE MINUTES OF LOOKING FOUND ALL THIS. Why wait? - samsmartjr, on 04/10/2009, -5/+28From Sarah Palin to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to Michelle Bachmann and now Spencer Bachus, WHY is the Republican Party trying so hard to get rid of ALL their moderate members? This party seriously needs to look to new blood like Meghan McCain and listen to and follow moderate voices if they ever want to survive as a party.
- AgeofMastery, on 04/10/2009, -4/+24McCarthy 2.0
- ironhide, on 04/10/2009, -0/+20Like the Birmingham News?
http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2009/04/bachus_tells_c ... - Tippx, on 04/10/2009, -3/+23I is in ur congress listin ur communists
- inactive, on 04/10/2009, -4/+24Psh. Fairies don't have tails.
- onwardknave, on 04/10/2009, -2/+21...Except that if they actually behaved like socialists, I might consider voting for them.
- Dumbledorito, on 04/10/2009, -0/+18@theavenger2: What, saying that there are 17 socialists in the House of Representatives isn't a "list?" That number appears in both of the articles sciencelovesyou posted. What does it take for you to admit you were wrong?
- LonelyTylenoL, on 04/10/2009, -5/+22Spencer Bachus is an idiot, and a disgrace to our country's system of government!
'nuff said - VictoriaCross, on 04/10/2009, -0/+17 Since when has being a Social Democrat become a treasonous crime?
Calling someone a 'Socialist' is just plain spiteful. - Akairenn, on 04/10/2009, -0/+16History repeats itself, and there are a lot of douchebags living in the United States.
Never make the mistake of thinking, "Oh, that's the last time."
It's never the last time. - Jelga, on 04/10/2009, -0/+16I have conceived a list of people in my town that I think are socialists. Like for instance my neighbor down the street, he looked at me funny one time, so I think he's a socialist. Or that one clerk at the store who didn't give me the right change when I bought food. Then there's that punk whose name escapes me, but he has a funny piercing, and I don't like it, so he's a socialist. Who knew making a list of socialists was so easy?
Seriously though, how long until these crazies start doing ***** like this? - inactive, on 04/10/2009, -3/+19So when are the republicans going to storm the senate with their brownshirt birther militias?
- sarahlee, on 04/10/2009, -5/+21Guess he learned nothing from history. How silly. Wait till he learns that nearly half the country things socialism is cool.

- lordmike, on 04/10/2009, -1/+15Next thing you know, he's going to put the Delta House on double secret probation!!
- Mejari, on 04/10/2009, -1/+15a) It was Inigo Montoya, not Fezzik
b) The actual quote is "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." - theSAMOL, on 04/10/2009, -1/+15He made a list, okay.
Did he check it twice? Considering the recent behavior by the GOP, I somehow doubt it. - m3arvk, on 04/10/2009, -1/+15Anyone else notice that the right has tried to redefine socialism to mean communism?
This is either political grandstanding of the worst kind or this guy lacks the IQ to navigate even the basic subtleties of life - neither would surprise me. - novenator, on 04/10/2009, -1/+15None of them made it on Stewie's list: http://www.heavy.com/video/66533
- Timetheos, on 04/10/2009, -1/+15Because they source it.
- nurbsenvi, on 04/10/2009, -6/+19OMG commies are invading us!!

***** idiots. - fasda, on 04/10/2009, -3/+16I don't know reality TV could edge it out
- yuutokun, on 04/10/2009, -0/+12So was HItler
- Ajajadude, on 04/10/2009, -1/+13First thing I thought of when I read the title.
- vuke69, on 04/10/2009, -2/+14Dugg down for mangling one of the greatest quotes ever.
- piieerrrree, on 04/10/2009, -1/+13theavenger2: I buried your comment because it was incoherent. :(
- redrabbit, on 04/10/2009, -1/+13Didn't they do something like this in South Park with a list of the hottest guys in the grade?
- CokeBear, on 04/10/2009, -1/+12Don't keep secrets, tell me who they are dammit, so I can make a contribution to their re-election campaign! (and if any of them are nearby and are in swing districts, volunteer on their campaign to make sure they get re-elected!)
Also, I'll be making a donation to this thug's opponent in the next campaign. - Mejari, on 04/10/2009, -0/+11So, did you just not notice the two separate sources cited in the article or are you just choosing to ignore them?
- LonelyTylenoL, on 04/10/2009, -0/+10♪ Spencer Bachus won't be missed! ♪
- Killphibian, on 04/10/2009, -1/+11I think most members of congress don't have much of an understanding of U.S. political history.
- LonelyTylenoL, on 04/10/2009, -6/+16That's why you are called diggproof; NONE your comments aren't digg-worthy!
NO WONDER! - felman87, on 04/10/2009, -0/+10Swing and a miss for avenger
- inactive, on 04/10/2009, -2/+12what, you mean fox? or one of the other corporate owned and controlled news outlets?
- m3arvk, on 04/10/2009, -1/+10Actually depending on where you're from - UK for instance - you are taught to use the third person plural when referring to groups.
UK: Manchester United are a great football team.
USA: Manchester United is a great soccer team. - JDBagley, on 04/10/2009, -0/+9*knock knock*
GOP: Who is it?
Third Millennium: It's the 21st Century. Would you like to come out of the 1950s now? -
