This is a rite of the right, because a century and a half of anti-socialist propaganda in the US makes it a easy accusation by those on the right, and one believed by the majority of people who hold a conservative ideology.

The problem, of course, is that even on the left the long history of anti-socialist propaganda has left its mark.

am and have been a Democratic Socialist for over 55 years---------and I have and will join Senator Sanders in any away I can.
What is remarkable is that he was with Martin Luther King marching----------most people don't know this

And David Packman got it right when he said how the semantics of the question is asked-----------skews the results------------ and the MSM and the right wing republicans have been given a free pass on this since Goldwater-------------enough is enough.

Go Bernie
