actually, the sucky thing about this incident is that, typical of dems, everyone did their best to distance themselves from being a socialist therefore reinforcing the use of red-baiting and condoning the idea that no one in their right mind would want to be or be associated with socialists.

in re this being same old same old (discussed on another thread and nothing charles responded to). i don't think this is like other years. the scary socialist meme may have been embraced by fringies years before, but this year, with a supposed moderate republican running, we have the obama is a scary socialist meme front and center as the republican candidate's primary message.
