It was very clear that your intention was to use the word socialist as a way to slander as if it's a bad. In my time on the internet and reading many political arguments I've seen a common trait from the Right wing and that is to use the word "socialist" in a derogatory manor much the same as you used it.
Hence I decided to lump you together as a typical neo-con fox news viewer and treat you to the same cliche' as you called it.
The simple fact is this country was partiality founded on socialist view points, so if you think it's a bad thing you better review your history books and learn more about the people whom founded this country.

He didn't make any valid points worth arguing, nor did he say anything that has not already been said 100x's over the past 4 weeks by political pundits more knowledgeable than him.
He was clearly asked if he was "Left Leaning" he said he "No" when in fact if you take the time to read his body of work he is very much to the left and believes in all aspects of socialism...thus the reason i made my comment. He would not say what his political affiliation is so i did it for him.
There is a common belief on GFY that if you disagree with the popular liberal trend you're automatically a Right-Wing, Republican, Conservative, Neo-Con, Racist Tea Party supporter who eats the Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh river of shit.for every meal. Its a very misguided way of thinking and somewhat elementary for it to be used as a rebuttal for every exchange of words, its to bad you fall into that sink hole of common belief.
