What is this, a yearning to reincarnate the Joe McCarthy-esque witch hunt trials?!@
Repeat: it is NOT illegal for someone to profess their preferences for socialism or communism in the United States.
In fact, it really would not surprise if more and more people start taking a more serious look at alternative economic ideologies in the years and decades ahead...
I saw that interview, and you're taking excerpts from it.
The whole thing started when a liberal columnist said that President Obama's problem was that he was to conservative. He said that the President should go to the radical left to excite his base.
What O'Donnel was saying is that if the country is 20% identified as liberal, 50% moderate leaning conservative and 30% conservative, then how would exciting 20% of the voting population get him to win.
O'Donnel said that he was a socialist, saying that its what liberal are, but they are scared of the world. But he is also a realist, that most of the country doesn't feel the way that he does, and that the President would have to lead from the middle in order to do anything, and win re-election.
Good interview, I like Laurence O'Donnel. He is straight forward about his beliefs, but he is only interested in factual information. I respect that. Fox commentators are blatant conservatives, a group that only holds a 10% identity rate higher than Liberals, not something to be proud of. Yet they slant the news to their side, and lie about facts in order to make a political point.
MSNBC - network of socialists, leftists and blowhards.
how ironic since you're talking about a network, with your link provided, that has a former Republicon congressman from Florida with a daily show on said sociialist, leftist network for years and years and years. Can you say the same about "fair and balanced" Fox News? Of course you can't.
turn off Faux Noise, it's clearly distorting your powers of observation and common sense.

Really? Maybe you should tell that to these hosts and frequent Fox News "conservatives":
Juan Williams
Geraldo
Susan Estrich
Geraldine Ferraro
Harold Ford Jr.
Alan Colmes
Lis Wiehl
Bob Beckel
Ellen Ratner
Ellis Henican
Mara Liasson
Mort Kondracke

I can say. See my earlier post (post #10)

Exactly. Fox News HIRES and airs from both the left and right wing. (As opposed to stations such as NPR who FIRES and silences from both side if they don't agree with NPR's Left Wing/Socialist Agenda.)
