Rep. Bachus (R-Ala) makes secret list of 17 Socialists in Congress

[Julius Civitatus]

Republicans are really losing it. Badly.
Now they are back to making blacklists of "secret commies" hidden in Congress, like in the times of McCarthy.

Not too long ago, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was on Hardball, calling for the media to investigate her Congressional colleagues to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America." Well, it turns out that someone has taken up Bachmann's call on a proactive basis! His name is Spencer Bachus and he has made a list -- a secret list! -- of the socialists in the House of Representatives. Or so he told the Birmingham News. Who are the seventeen socialists? That's the secret part, apparently.

From The Hill's Briefing Room:

Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) puts the number of socialists in the House at 17. "Some of the men and women I work with in Congress are socialists," Bachus told local government leaders on Thursday, according to the Birmingham News. Bachus gave the specific number of House socialists when pressed later by a reporter.

By the way, I can't wait until someone tells Bachus about how "only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism." He is not going to take that news well, I imagine.

1. We're past the socialists meme, bachus! We're all FASCISTS now, ya stupid

git! Keep UP, man!

[krispos42]

2. The list of fascists is easier to make, if somewhat longer

They have "(R)" after their names.

[LynnTheDem]

4. No no no...we pinko commie socialist liberals are the fascists now!

So say the Teabagger Party!

[krispos42]

8. Wait, are we islamo-socio-fascists?

Or islamo-facist-socialists?


:confused:

[LynnTheDem]

9. Ummm...oh....crap.

I'm not sure.

:shrug:

[krispos42]

11. Wait,I found a map

Dammit, now I'm really lost. How can we be both fascist and communist at the same time?

[DevonRex]

14. Oh, that's easy. When you hit communist up there in the corner, you take a hard

right turn and head straight down to Nazi, where you're rubbin' shoulders with the fascists. See?

[krispos42]

15. Hmmmm... maybe if I roll it up into a tube....

:rofl:

[DevonRex]

17. Exactly. But only top to bottom and not side to side. God only knows what you'd wind up that way.

:rofl:

[krispos42]

18. Commu-libertariaisms and anarch-fascism?

:rofl:

:smoke:


Duuuuuuuuuude.....

[DevonRex]

19. Or *poof* you're Ayn Rand.

Woah.

:evilgrin:

[krispos42]

23. Dammit, I just got used to being Lenin

Now I'll have to...




Hello! What's this on my chest?




OMG! I have a bosum! This warrants immediate investigation. I'll be upstairs, um, "investigating".


:yoiks:

3. I think Bernie Sanders is the only avowed Socialist.

Not so secret.

I wish there were 17 socialists in Congress. Hell, I wish there were 170 socialists.

[DebbieCDC]

13. Me too

[havocmom]

5. hmm, does he use any public infrastructure?

If so, he is a bit pink himself. ;)

[hobbit709]

6. He's channeling Joe McCarthy

[PBS Poll-435]

7. HUAC

[Matariki]

10. CNN just had a segment on how *some people* are saying Obama is like Mussolini

funny, *lots* of people were saying Bush was like some Banana Republic dictator and I don't recall CNN covering that.

[DebbieCDC]

12. Welcome to the new McCarthyism

The pukes and the money boys are pissing themselves silly over all these new polls showing Americans are sick of what unbridled, unfettered, unregulated capitalism has done to the U.S.

[ddeclue]

16. Ethics committee needs to sanction him.. this is crossing a line.

[Union Yes]

20. Character assassination doesn't work in the internet age.

Repukes won't ever get it apparantly. But I love watching them fall on their own sword of hate and greed.

America is turning it's back on these fascist pukes.

[Zodiak]

21. Wow....could they be any more out of ideas?

McCarthyism is so 1950's.

They're regressing.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

22. Someone should tell Bachus it works better if you hold up an old laundry ticket and say "I have here

in my hand"...

24. "M-C-C-A-R-T-H-Y-I-S-M"

''M-C-C... See the socialist Boogie-man, behind every democrat!''

''A-R-T... 'Tea Parties' are the answer!!!''

''H-Y-I-S-M...''

''McCarthyism... McCarthyism...Joe's Blacklists are the GOP's aim!!!"

''McCarthyism... McCarthyism... At long last, Republicans, have you no shame?''
