We have Social Democrats and Socialists and Democratic Socialists, but what the hell is a Democrat Socialist?

As reported in the Politico:

A conservative faction of the Republican National Committee is urging the GOP to take a harder line against both Democrats and wayward Republicans, drafting a resolution to rename the opposition the “Democrat Socialist Party” and moving to rebuke the three Republican senators who supported the stimulus package.

In an e-mail sent Wednesday to the 168 voting members of the committee, RNC member James Bopp, Jr. accused President Obama of wanting “to restructure American society along socialist ideals.”
“The proposed resolution acknowledges that and calls upon the Democrats to be truthful and honest with the American people by renaming themselves the Democrat Socialist Party,” wrote Bopp, the Republican committeeman from Indiana. “Just as President Reagan’s identification of the Soviet Union as the ‘evil empire’ galvanized opposition to communism, we hope that the accurate depiction of the Democrats as a Socialist Party will galvanize opposition to their march to socialism.”

This is just an expansion of the babble put forth by Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) who  said recently that there were 17 socialists in Congress.  Alabama?  Is that not in the South? (that is sarcasm in case it was missed by anyone)

Jesus, do these morons realize just how pathetic they are looking?  This branding did NOT work in the election, but the GOP cannot let it go.  This type of hype is only playing to there base–old white guys in the South.  The only region in the country that fear works on anymore.  The rest of the country is NOT listening.
