Senator calls Obama 'world’s best salesman of socialism'

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

For the second time in as many days, a prominent Republican has likened Pres. Obama's policies to socialism.


WASHINGTON (CNN) – Another prominent Republican told the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday that the president’s spending plans are pushing the country to the brink of socialism.

Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, the only member of the senate to earn a perfect rating from the American Conservative Union, called President Obama “the world’s best salesman of socialism” on Friday in describing his prime time speech earlier this week.

DeMint, a fierce opponent of government expansion, told the CPAC crowd that conservatives might have to “take to the streets to stop America’s slide into socialism.”

His remarks comes a day after Mike Huckabee told the conference of conservative activists that “the Union of American Socialist Republics is being born” with the president’s stimulus package.

“Lenin and Stalin would love this stuff,” Huckabee said of the government bailing out financial institutions.

1. What's wrong with socialism? At least a bit of it? I would love to live in Sweden or Denmark.

These idiots confuse socialism with totalitarian communism.

4. They deliberately try to blur the distinction between socialism and

communism because if more people were aware of what socialism truly is they might want some of it.

2. Hey, Sen. DeMint, how's your Toyota stock doing?

3. Witches -> Communists -> Terrorists -> Socialists
