"Democratic Socialists of America member list and preamble... see all the elected officials who were elected on upholding the Constitution and yet brazenly belong, support and endorsethe exact opposite of what they were elected to do...uphold the pillars of the US Constitution. They have played us like fiddle, traitors right in our midst!"

Democratic Socialists of America member list and preamble. - Patriot Action Network
Democratic Socialists of America member list and preamble. - Patriot Action Network

Patriot action network = radical right wing propaganda outlet.

First of all, the link in the op is a blog. A quick google search turns up little but this blog, one other and... WND. The original document was retrieved from Scribd, which is a site where anyone can upload anything. There are no sources given, nothing to corraborate the claim, in fact nothing to even say that the socialist party actually uploaded this document. It is completely untraceable. Is there even a congressional caucus called the American Socialist Caucus (or something like it)? There is no evidence for it.

The only BS is the denial from the radical left. Stand up and be counted comrade!

DSA-Members: American Socialist Voter - Democratic Socialists of America - 10-1-09

hint: see pages 2-4 for Congressional membership list of DSA

Background: The DSA founded the Congressonal Progressive Caucus and ran their website until outed by the press in 2002.

I clicked on the link in the OP and it says the site is not registered. Until I see a link the American Socialists which lists the names, I will assume the story is fake.

Prediction: They will deny it, deny it, deny it and then when that fails will say, "So what; you got something against fairness?"

Of course it is, but the radical right will believe anything their propaganda masters tell them.
On the other hand, it's very much factual the american nazi party has begun to lobby washington,..

Jeez,

this thread is right up there with John McCain's black love child....pure election year slime. I bet this could be trace back to Karl Rove somehow.

This is the third (3rd) thread regurgitating the same unverified information:

From less than one month ago:

//www.city-data.com/forum/polit...ocialists.html

And from August 2010:

//www.city-data.com/forum/polit...ress-list.html

Another waste of bandwidth. Another shot in the dark to try and drum up the ol' Red Scare.

Mods, please merge.

EDIT: This was DEBUNKED two years ago.

1. A check with the official list of registered congressional caucuses shows that there is no congressional caucus in either 2009 or 2010 containing the word “socialist,” “socialism,” or any other variation on the word “social.” The supposed Socialist Party of America Caucus does not exist.

2. The “Socialist Party of America” has not been in existence for 38 years.

3. The list of the supposed 70 members of the non-existent Socialist Party of America’s non-existent caucus is an outdated copy of the membership of the Congressional Progressive Caucus as it stood in fall of 2009.

Conclusion: the claim that “The Socialist Party of America announced in their October 2009 newsletter that 70 Congressional democrats currently belong to their caucus” is untrue on multiple counts.

To the extent that websites propagating this claim are aware of these facts, they are participants in a hoax.

Emphasis mine.
