How many times can you use the word socialist in a
sentence without being called out by "progressives" for
accusing Democrats of being socialists? Try this
bit of quoting on for size...
"Any group that says,
'I'm young, I'm Democratic, and I'm a socialist'
is all right with me,"
Bertha Lewis, CEO of ACORN told the Young Democratic
Socialists
(the youth branch
of the U.S. Democratic Socialists division of Socialists
International).
Lewis went on to praise Young Democratic Socialists' members
for having the guts to call themselves socialists
because, as she warned them,
"undefined forces...are
coming...coming after you."
Well, those undefined vigilantes didn't remain undefined
for long.
In literally the next breath, socialist cheerleader
Bertha Lewis told the kommie kids that
"...the times people are living in now will dwarf the
McCarthy era and [Japanese-American] internment during World War
II"
and that
"we are
right now in a time that is going to dwarf the era of
Jim Crow and segregation."
Lewis pointed to the Tea Party movement -- or "bowel
movement" as she prefers to call it -- as the
encroaching nightriders.
"This is not rhetoric or hyperbole --
this is real,"
she said.
"This rise of this Tea Party so-called
movement --
bowel
movement
in my estimation -- and this blatant uncovering and
ripping off the mask of racism."
Apparently,
real, outspoken socialists now believe that the Tea
Party movement has grown large enough to mess with
rackets like ACORN. Too bad all of those
in-the-closet socialists, afraid to admit who they
really are, don't have what it takes to make their
voices heard along with Ms. Lewis' to help keep their
movement alive.
Even Barack
Obama, who openly worked for ACORN, trained their
community organizers, helped defend them in court and
was happy to take millions of their socialist dollars
during his decade of campaigning, goes limp whenever he
is accused of being a socialist.
"You'd think that [my
agenda] is some Bolshevik plot?"
would be a typical indignant response to such an
accusation.
Betrayed and saddened by her fellow-socialists' failure
to
"build this
institution," on
Tuesday Bertha Lewis told The Associated Press that
ACORN is now
"on
life support."
Once a massive,
multi-million-dollar, multi-national community advocacy group,
ACORN is in dire straits as a result of bad publicity
(embezzlement, multiple voter fraud charges plus
hidden-camera videos last year in which employees in
several states were revealed condoning a variety of
crimes including child prostitution and tax evasion)
plus recent attempts by Congress to revoke taxpayer
funding.
Of course, Democrats who don't have the intestinal
fortitude to state their true socialist philosophy
(from
the aforementioned president to nearly 300 members of
Congress and a few dozen czars)
will agree with Bertha Lewis' assessment of their
opposition's goals. But as afraid of being
identified as socialists as they continue to be, they
will continue to marginalize tea partiers and their
supporters and deny the growth of the movement...
...the so-called "bowel movement" that will ultimately
be taking its dump on them.
