Bachmann Cries Socialism-Again

The more republicans cry socialism, the less credible they appear, the more they sink into oblivion. It didn't work during the campaign. It won't work now. It only serves to draw out the racists and the crazies like pigs to mud. It doesn't do anyone any good and it's a stupid argument.

But Michelle Bachmann is at it again.
CNN: Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann pressed the socialism argument on Thursday, telling a conservative radio show that the Obama administration is "completely socializing the American economy" with its mortgage relief proposals and bailouts of financial institutions.

"What we've seen them do in the last five weeks is nothing short of a great leap forward toward than finalizing a place of socialism in American economic life," Bachmann told radio host G. Gordon Liddy. "We have never seen this level of socialism in the history of our country, and I think the American people would be floored when they understand the dramatic steps that Obama has taken for our future."
