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. Being the typical hypocritical republican though, Bachus actually voted for last fall's bank bailout.

    I was gonna say...very reminiscent of the senator from Wisconsin.

    I'm certain few, if any, of those on the list are socialists. And if they were--so what? They were elected by the people. They're not terrorists.

      There appears to be a hard-core group of republicans that are hell-bent on using the 'socialist' tag paint brush until hell freezes over. These lunatic-fringe activists will continue their Fox-news mantra until the next election and hope to drum up support for this war cry. They will not go away and will have to be taken to court for defamation. These are some (IMO) sick puppies and they all need to be neutered in a court of law.

      FTA:

      Bachus, the top Republican on the House Financial Services Committee, actually voted for last fall's bank bailout that other Republicans had opposed and criticized as socialism.

      Mr. Pot blames the Kettles.

      "As for McCarthy, history since has proven him mostly to be correct."

      So you're in favor of blacklisting?

        Bachus, that's a name for you! I suspect he wouldn't know a socialist if he fell over one.

          Where are the names of the 17 Socialists or is it an unnamed list that can get 20 more into his speculation while keeping him from being sued for slander?
