Why is socialism such a bogeyman? It's everywhere.
Sarah Palin, Socialist | The New York Observer
[...] we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.
--Sarah Palin
And more to the point:
Quote:
In an interview, Frank Llewellyn, the director of the DSA, and Billy Wharton, co-chair of the Socialist Party USA, both strongly refute the popular idea that Obama is a socialist.
“We didn’t see a great victory with the election of Barack Obama,” Wharton says, ” and we certainly didn’t see our agenda move from the streets to the White House.”
Llewellyn also claims that the socialist label definitely didn’t fit Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign.
“To be honest, the most socialist candidate in the 2008 election was Sarah Palin.”
