Who was the last Democratic president that they DIDN'T call a socialist?

Grover Cleveland, maybe?

Being called a socialist by Rush Limbaugh and Fox News is a sign you are doing something right.

1. Franklin Pierce.

[izquierdista]

8. Barbara Bush's father?

He was a Democrat??

10. Our lonely, sad, politically troubled, and generally

obscure 14th president.

A failed presidency by most accounts, but nevertheless one of the most genuine people the country ever put in the White House.

2. I suspect you are right about Cleveland.

He was corporate to the bone, and the Beckians love to declare that Woodrow Wilson (also an archconservative, but when did facts matter to these people?) is the man who began the processing of turning America into a socoialistcommunustislamofascistsomethingorother state.

3. I would have said Andrew Jackson.

4. Uh, Dubya?

Redstone

5. Thomas Jefferson

Whom they try to claim as their own. Interesting, since the GOP first ran a Presidential nominee in 1856, when Jefferson had been dead for decades.

6. James Polk

Who was President a few years before Marx wrote his manifesto.

[izquierdista]

7. I believe Wison had Debs thrown in jail

And not because he worried about being primaried. That boosted his anti-Socialist cred.

9. Wilson's attorney general made Ashcroft look like Bernie Sanders. n/t
