    So let me get this straight. Sarah Palin is a socialist? Are you people high? She taxes big oil and gives it back to the people. There is a vast difference between taxing Big Oil and taxing people making 250,000 dollars.....oops he changed it.....200,000......oops Biden changed it again the other day......175,000 dollars a year. Let's define socialism: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done. Pay attention to the word "transitional" here. Socialism leads to communism. But but but.....Obama doesn't believe in communism!!! He's all about change we can believe in! 95% tax cuts! Unicorns and rainbows and pixie dust everywhere! It will be a better world where we all hold hands and sing songs and roast marshmallows with foreign leaders! But wait just a minute..... Let's look at Dear Leader's (Obama) mentors and associates growing up as a young lad. Let's start with Frank Marshall Davis. Communist/black panther. Speaks glowingly of him in dreams of my father. He was placed in young Barry's life by his grandfather to be a "Father figure". Ok for all you obamazombies that think this isn't true or feel that he gleaned nothing from this radical communist sex offender....enter Micheal Klonsky. Mike Klonsky? Who is that? Here's what you need to know. Klonsky is an unabashed communist whose current mission is to spread Marxist ideology in the American classroom. Obama funded him to the tune of nearly $2 million. Obama, moreover, gave Klonsky a broad platform to broadcast his ideas: a "social justice" blog on the official Obama campaign website. What? He gave a communist a platform on his webite? Oh yes! But just as he did with Rev. Wright, Acorn and others....when the public started to question him about these radical associates, he pulled it from his website and denied all ties. To be clear, as it seems always necessary to repeat when Obamaniacs, in their best Saul Alinsky tradition, shout down the opposition: This is not about guilt by association. The issue is not that Obama knows Klonsky ... or Ayers ... or Dohrn ... or Wright ... or Rashid Khalidi. The issue is that Obama promoted and collaborated with these anti-American radicals. The issue is that he shared their ideology. Klonsky's communist pedigree could not be clearer. His father, Robert Klonsky, was an American communist who was convicted in the mid-Fifties for advocating the forcible overthrow of the United States government -- a violation of the Smith Act, anti-communist legislation ultimately gutted by the Supreme Court. In the Sixties, Klonsky the younger teamed with Ayers, Dohrn, and other young radicals to form the Students for a Democratic Society. It was out of the SDS that Ayers and Dohrn helped found the Weatherman terrorist group. What? This is all radical right wing conspiracies! How dare you question the "messiah"! Listen folks, all you have to do is forget what the news tells you. Forget fox news and sean hannity. Forget cnn and msnbc. Take it upon yourself to look these people up on your own. Do a search for Obama ties to ________. Enter ayers, dohrn, wright, pfleger, davis, sutton, alinsky, rezko, klonsky, acorn, Odinga, khalidi.....any of those names will work. You really think he had nothing to do with any of these people? That none of them held any influence over him? What about "The New Party"? Did you look that up? He was a card carrying member. WAKE THE HELL UP PEOPLE! IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO FIND THE TRUTH OUT THERE! Do you really want all of this to come out AFTER he gets into the white house? If McCain had just one or two of these nutjobs in his past, his candidacy would have been over before the nomination. It is NOT racist or mean or anything else to look into this mans past! If you needed a babysitter and he had all of these radical crazies in his past, would you hire him? Hell no you wouldn't! WAKE UP!

    From the page: "The best part of Hendrik Hertzberg's excellent New Yorker commentary about McCain and Palin's failed attempt to convince people that Obama is a socialist is the final paragraph containing this boast from Gov. Sarah Palin: The state that she governs has no income or sales tax. Instead, it imposes huge levies on the oil companies that lease its oil fields. The proceeds finance the governmentâ€s activities and enable it to issue a four-figure annual check to every man, woman, and child in the state. One of the reasons Palin has been a popular governor is that she added an extra twelve hundred dollars to this yearâ€s check, bringing the per-person total to $3,269. A few weeks before she was nominated for Vice-President, she told a visiting journalistâ€"Philip Gourevitch, of this magazineâ€"that â€oeweâ€re set up, unlike other states in the union, where itâ€s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.” Perhaps there is some meaningful distinction between spreading the wealth and sharing it (â€oecollectively,” no less), but finding it would require the analytic skills of Karl the Marxist. " Neither democrats or republicans are against socialism; they are helping America move toward fascism. Neither support laissez-faire capitalism.

    If Alaskans get to keep what's theirs, it's not socialism even if someone uses the word 'collectively'. I suppose all corporations should now be called socialist because they 'collectively' work and 'share the wealth' by paying wages out of profits.

    Excellent example how a smear campaign backfires and hypocrisy is unearthed.
