That's worthy of repeating.

That's usually the case. Paul Krugman coined the phrase "zombie lies," to depict these false narratives that once discredited (e.g. killed) get up and are repeated again as fact.

Communists and socialists are kissing cousins, the differences are minor.

Some of these got booted out in the Nov. 2010 elections. I don't know who has joined since then.

Default 70 Congressmen members of DSA (Democratic Socialists of America)

Another poster seemed to feel that for Democrats to be members of the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) was a bad thing and wanted me to prove it.

Do you think our congressmen being socialists is a bad thing? Or is that perfectly fine?
The DSA released their own membership records in 2009 noting this.
You can get a copy of this list if you want to pay for it.

But again, my point is as Americans and citizen members of a Democratic Constitutional Republic do you think it is a problem that a significant number of our representatives are members of an organization incompatible with our form of government?

Default Congressmen members of Democratic Socialists of America

Another member of this forum seemed to be upset when I noted that as of 2009 70 members of Congress were members of the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America).

He demanded I prove it.
Is this something bad? If I prove it do I get some kind of points for proving it?
Does it make a difference?

Would it make a difference to you when voting for your congressional representative if they were members of the DSA?

The DSA released this information themselves and you can download it yourself if you want.

I'm not sure.
I bet their are other sources, but the source from the organization itself I believe is the most reputable.

I accidentally posted the bold above and alerted the forum to the double post.
As for your assertion - this is the second time you've made unsubstantiated assertions.
The list comes from the DSA itself and is still available.

Verify your statements or admit they are opinion.
That is how you have credibility.
