    Only 70? When are the rest of the Democrats going to come out of the closet?

    I knew I'd see Bernie Sanders' name, but I didn't expect to see 70 names. I was pretty shocked.

    Some people will believe anything if it reinforces their biases.

    Yeah, when people pay dues to belong to a certain organization, I tend to believe that they share the sentiments of that organization.

    The story is false, maxiep. It's a fabrication, a lie, a bunch of bullshit. You've been conned.
    Read the first link in the first link you posted.

    Thanks for the information. I stand corrected. I would go back and delete the root post, but I believe in paying the price for being suckered. Feel free to pile on the insults; in this case they're deserved.

    Who cares if the article is a joke? The Democratic party is full of socialists, and their leader is our president. We don't need some magazine article to tell us that.

    Ok, I have all the proof I need. Shooter's profile is officially a satire of conservatives (ala Colobert). Well played, sir.

    Don't be so hard on yourself. Even the great Dan Rather got reeled in on a fake story.

    Most people that *want* to hear this information, will take it and run with it... the won't even hear anything about it not being true. It is obvious republicans want to use the socialist label on Obama and democrats... and people that don't even know what socialism is are scared to death of it. =)

    Barfonomics is a misnomer. If we followed Barfo's ideas, there would be no economy, and thus no Barfonomics. :devilwink:

    The title of this thread is misleading. You should change it to "A right-wing view of Democratic Socialists of America"

    Actually, it should be "I should really check snopes.com out before I start posting stuff that only paints me out to be a super conservative Republican".
