What on earth qualifies these people to proclaim any belief as extreme? They have created a relative value system and have destroyed the concept of the absolute.

Oh, that’s right. Once you do that then whatever “me” believes becomes the norm, the center of the moral universe. Give me an f’ng break.

I see Newsweak is on the leading edge of the DSCC campaign to drive a wedge in the GOP.

The poll found that 63 percent of Republicans think President Obama is a socialist I would think "socialist" may be too mild a term for what Obama is. How about, "Marxist"?

Uhhhmmmm... That IS what conservatives believe. The shocking thing is that they find that shocking.

He’s not a socialist; obuma is a fascist who wants to be a communist.

Not a real serious attack. I am concerned, of course, with the 37% who don't yet realize that Obama and his running dog lackeys are doctrinaire Socialists, but we have time for serious re-education.

The worst part of the poll is it didn't ask a key question ~ to wit: "Do you consider Democrats to be human beings".

Like so many Republicans these days, all I can say is the Democrats are demonstrating so much dangerous stupidity, it's getting doggone difficult to think of them as human beings.

What did you think they would say, hey those republicans! What a great bunch of patriotic compassionate guys they are!

The 2010 left wing attack has started. This is just like when the pubs had their convention, they announced Sarah Palin as the VP choice and she came out and leveled both barrels at the MSM. That was a great moment in the race, but what happened, the party backed off and let them recover.

It can’t be allowed to happen again! Teh Tea parties got the ball rolling, now its time for the rest to kick in and ram it home.

In related poll, 63% of Democrats do not believe Obama is socialist enough.

He is a socialist. I’m surprised the numbers aren’t higher though I imagine some GOP are ashamed to say so which is the primary problem with the leadership. I wish theyd ask the question do you support bigger government. I think we should conduct a poll of liberal Democrats ask some uncomfortable questions.

This is all part of the DNC strategy released in a memo last week via Rpbert Menendez.

The goal is to put a wedge between the tea party and moderates. And to ask candidates if they believe such stuff?

This poll will actually backfire. IMO. The drip, drip of “Obama” and “socialist” meme will only gain traction, not go the other way around.

Newsweek is SHOCKED SHOCKED that anyone could think Obama is a Socialist.

The poll found that 63 percent of Republicans think President Obama is a socialist; the other 37 percent say he’s a Marxist. And 100% of the Democrats agree. That’s why they love him.
