Obama is not about to be...

[SHRED]

...taking the profits away from insurance companies by offering a pure public health insurance or nationalizing any banking/finance system to protect working people instead of the current bailout ripoff of our tax dollars these Wall St. thieves are currently enjoying.

So why is it that wingnuts call him a Socialist?

1. Because they're wingnuts.

That's what they do, act wingnutty.

[Adsos Letter]

2. Because it's a trigger word...for people who are probably unable to actually define Socialism.

Emotional response is always so much easier on the faculties than reasoned debate or consideration.

3. AND WE HAVE A WINNAH... by the way the word is loosing

its emotional appeal... I guess the next one will be TERRARIST.

7. Heck, they might start calling him a "republican". n/t couldn't resist

[Adsos Letter]

8. ...loosing...?

:shrug:

[Oregone]

4. If they brand Obama as a leftist, they can redefine the center and easily tug further right

Its been happening years, and unfortunately, no one is tugging back effectively

The Democratic "Third Way" does not mitigate the ground lost under Republican rule.

5. They like money do not care about people.

6. Because they 're fighting over the same corporate donations as Obama.
