Why am I not surprised? Do you have a link?
Yup. Below is something I wrote in another thread a while back in response to this statement by a fellow Freeper:
Some of these leftist democrats are quickly falling into the category of "Domestic Enemies"
Not some -- most! And they've been Domestic Enemies for a long time now, as far as I'm concerned.
Btw, are you aware that Nancy Pelosi -- the United States Congressional House Democratic Leader -- is a card-carrying member of the "Democratic Socialists of America" (DSA), as are many of her Demoncrat congressional colleagues? The DSA organization is committed to turning America into a full-fledged "Socialist" state. (Read that as "Communist" state, because that is their ultimate goal. Only they realize that people are far less receptive to the term "Communist" than they are to the term "Socialist").
You can take a look at the DSA's Web site at: http://www.dsausa.org
They used to list their membership rolls on their Web site until they realized it really wasn't something they wanted to broadcast to the apathetic public. Fortunately for us, though Web archives like WaybackMachine.org, you can still see the old DSA Web pages.
For example, from the Apr 29, 1999 archives, you will find the DSA's "Progressive Caucus" Executive Committee list and the DSA's "Progressive Caucus" Members list. You can also find a list of the "dozens of progressive organizations [that] have joined forces with the Congressional Progressive Caucus". Here are a few of the more recognizable organizations that have "joined forces" with the Democratic Socialists of America:
National Education Association (the largest and most powerful union in America, of which every public school teacher is a member)

AFL-CIO
