"S" Is For "Socialism" (Also For "Stupid")


Over at the Center for American Progress, Eric Alterman and Danielle Ivory lead us through recent, and not-so-recent history on deployment of the word "socialism" by crackpots to describe what normal, rational people would view as "progress" or "something better." As Alterman and Ivory point out, when you got nothin' you go with whatever you can pull out of your kazoo. (H/t and a hearty Banzai! to Germantown correspondent Brian)
