Tom Delay calls Obama a 'Marxist'

[LTR]

As if the words of a criminal really mean anything:


Former House Republican Leader Tom DeLay (Texas) called Barack Obama a "Marxist" on the Mike Gallagher radio show Thursday.

Explaining that Obama clinching the Democratic nomination is a good thing for John McCain, DeLay said Obama's "weakness" is that "nobody knows him."

"And if McCain does not define him as what he is — hey, I have said publicly, and I will again, that unless he proves me wrong, he is a Marxist," DeLay said.

The radio host agreed with DeLay, who is facing money laundering charges, saying Obama is "desperately trying to cover up what seems to be the kind of old school Marxist radical liberal failed ideology."

"Absolutely," DeLay said. "No doubt about it."

:rofl:

So, I guess if you can't smear them based on their merits, just play the Commie card. Party like it's 1949, I guess.

1. If Tom Delay had something nice to say about Obama I might be worried!

[trumad]

4. Says the man who was too corrupt even for the most corrupt of Republicans.

Does anyone actually take Bugman seriously anymore?

7. The Jurassic Park Strategy

You'd think these guys would be tired of singing the same stupid song for decades and decades.

11. I am betting Delay doesn't even know what a Marxist is .....

probably just heard it said in one of those dives he hangs out in.

[pinto]

13. Ha. I'll second that.

:eyes:

[harun]

12. These right wing nutjobs can't go more than five minutes without

bringing up Marx. Coulter seems to pull his name in to all her pieces too. All these people are still fighting the Cold War. They have been doing it for so long they don't know anything else.

14. They give radio interviews to prisoners these days?

:shrug: Oh, that's right, this criminal is out running free.

15. Bah-Wah-Wah!!! Tom DeLay: Reid And Pelosi Are ‘Very, Very Close To Treason’.....

Who cares what this wacko thinks?

[Orsino]

17. With DeLay, it's hard to tell whether this is just the usual GOP lie...

...or whether he really is that ignorant. I'd bet, though, that had he been asked to define Marxism, the response would have been entertaining.

18. Seldom hear Marxist anymore - thanks for brining back the oldies Tom

Almost brings a tear to my eye to hear Marxist anymore. Nobody plays the oldies anymore. Most people have forgotten the words. Red scare, a commie under every bed, Joe McCarthy. AHHHH the good old days. Now it's all terraists and bin Laden and al-Ciada and all.
Thanks for the memories Tommy. Hope you will soon have lots of time to just sit and think.

19. Let's ignore Tom Delay, folks. He's "not worth the powder and lead it would take to blow him up."

[dave29]

20. and Tom Delay is a criminal

now that we're all labeled, maybe we can play nice
