Progressive? Call them what they are, socialists.

CALL THEM COMMUNIST!

Henry Wallace, formerly FDR's vice president and agriculture secretary, left the Democratic Party that year to form the communist-dominated and Soviet-backed "Progressive Party." Much as Thurmond's Dixiecrat Party was expressly pro-segregation, Wallace's Progressive Party was expressly pro-Soviet.

Indeed, this was the apex of Moscow-directed subversion of U.S. politics. The Progressive Party platform excluded even the mildest criticism of Soviet aggression. It will come as no surprise that many American celebrities supported Wallace. The Progressives received 1 million votes nationwide, about the same as Thurmond's Dixiecrat Party.

Thurmond went on to reject segregation, become a Republican, and serve his country well as a U.S. senator. By contrast, running a communist-dominated presidential campaign was Wallace's last hurrah. Yet only an off-the-cuff remark at a birthday party praising Thurmond's presidential campaign is the career-destroyer. Not so fawning references to Wallace's Soviet-backed presidential campaign.

Yep. I was quoting. Actually, they are commie pinko fascists.

"Progressive? Call them what they are, socialists."

You have that right. The left have been trying to get Rush off the air since he made it big. They haven't done it so far and I doubt they will do it in the future.

Howlin, I get real tired of posting this...

Ms. Spain and her fellow-traveling, lick-spittle lackey comrades are not 'Socialists'. Neither are they 'leftists', or 'progressives' or 'liberals' or any other such newspeak bullshit.

They are hard-core, unrepentant 'neo-Stalinists' and nothing but.

Geeze, I could really use some help down here in the language war.
