You might be a racist if … you call Barack Obama a socialist. How did I find this out? Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist, said so [1], in spite of the dictionary’s definition [2] of the word “socialism” as being:
Main Entry: so·cial·ism
Pronunciation: \ˈsÅ-shÉ™-ËŒli-zÉ™m\
Function: noun
Date: 1837
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
Sounds like the junior [3] Senator [4] from [5] Illinois [6] to me, contrary to what certain [7] analysts [8] and race-baiters want you to believe.
