I think it was both but maybe just one. The Socialist Party says he isn't.

Because he is one? He believes that big government to take care of the people is the way to go.

Honestly....how many obama-appointed czars that call themselves socialists or communists or who wax on lovingly about Mao does it take? A guy doesn't have to have a formal membership in the socialist party to be a socialist.

Because they can't openly call him the "N" word. Calling President Obama a "socialist" is their substitute word for it.

Hannity and like know their audience. Fewer the active brain cells for logic, greater the chance of them listening to their rhetoric.

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.

Rush, Hannity, Glenn Beck and their ilk use their respective media forums as modern day Klan rallies whipping like minded folks into a hate-filled frenzy on a daily basis.

That's pathetic. I'm sorry...that's just pathetic. In your mind it is apparently impossible to disagree with a black man's ideaologies w/out hating him for his skin color.

Can you give us some actual documentation of that happening or are you just going to continue to slander them?

Not a single socialist thinks he's one, why do you?

Obama is a "socialist" because he believes in a powerful central govt that should control the means of production.

Savage usually calls the progressives of Obama's ilk Red Diaper Doper Babies. Don't know that the has referred to Obama as a Socialist; likely a Marxist.
