Fox News is continuing to beat the drum about Karl Marx being right around the corner, forcing America into a Socialist society. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire takes on Stuart Varney (guest host on Your World with Neil Cavuto) about the lack of truth behind these claims, and lays out how this is just another GOP talking point that isn't resonating very well with US citizens.

1. Democratic socialism . . . France, Italy . . .

though it seems like they are being threatened now by corporatism . . . ???

[Fovea]

2. Destroy the corporatists

Make your buying choices as local as possible.
Make the old car run another 5 years...
Keep the old washer and dryer.

Start health care coops.
Use a natural remedy when an effective one is available, a generic pharma
when not.

Do not buy from the PRC if you can help it. See if that product is made local if you can.

Let's pray that a bit more socialism is around the corner.
American needs a healthcare system as well run as the local fire dept.
And as cost effective as the post office.

3. Absolutely.

But not for the U.S.

4. Shut up, Stuart!

For Pete's sake, don't invite a guest if you're going to do all the talking, ya dweeb.

8. Don't watch FOX "News" very much, do we?

I'd say Stuart was more polite than most FOX "News" anchors to his liberal guest.

5. Conservatives Aholes Fear Socialism

Their greedy ways will die if we get more socialism, so they try to demonize it to the unwashed masses that would benefit the most from it.

6. The real question is

whether it is fascism. Clearly it is not socialism.

7. We have to move past this greed is good mentality.

Everyone thinks they can get rich and are entitled to it by the Constitution or God, but theyre not. The idea of what I have is not enough has and will destroy us. Some have what they have and they will never have more, yet many of these people vote for the party of the haves when they themselves are a havenot and neverwiller. All people other than the top 5% should be democratic liberals in favor of more socializing of this country. We would benefit, its the uber rich who will not suffer but will not continue to hoard so much money. Greedy bastards.

9. "You just can't resist blaming Bush and the Republicans"

That's like saying 'you just can't resist blaming Charles Manson for the Tate/ La Bianca murders'.

Or alternately:
"You just can't resist blaming Osama bin Ladin for 9/11"
"You just can't resist blaming Hitler for World War II"
"You just can't resist blaming Ed Wood for Plan 9 From Outer Space"
