I'm willing to bet that Hannity and Savage are smart enough to realize what socialism is, but they won't tell, because it works in their favor.


Funny to see all the panicked insistence here that he is a Socialist, he is, although the Socialists laugh at that.

That's such a lame excuse. Have you heard of bankruptcy?
That's how it works in real life if you can't pay the bills you file bankruptcy.
They did file for bankruptcy, but thanks for making it clear you don't actually know what you're trying to talk about.

I'm sorry to tell you, but calling him a socialist all the time doesn't actually make it true. Show me an instance where he's taken for the federal government, or given the workers control over the means of production of a private company. Here's a hint, a trust fund is not control over the MoP.

They got bailed out and didn't undergo the procedure of bankruptcy.

I look forward to your links for this. Do you mean GM, with its 2011 IPO? (which is a miraculous turnaround time by the way.)

His beliefs make him a socialist. Listen to what he says, read his books.

Do you mean for individuals, or for multinational corporations?

They werent able to pay the bills for many, many, many years, Kirdik. They received much taxpayer money over the last couple of decades. Dont forget the Chrysler Loan Guarantee Act, or whatever it was called.

Tell yourself that you can fly and then go jump off a cliff. Show me where in the book he professes to be a socialist, by the way. Don't bother looking at his actual policies, of course, which are quite corporatist.

Do you mean, "My beliefs make him a socialist. Listen to what Rush says, read Glenn's books."?
