Ignorance can be fixed - Stupidity is permanent

Bugaboo: 'Socialism' fear

Republican leaders and "tea party" protesters are wielding a buzzword - socialism - as a club to whack the Obama administration.

GOP Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina (who vowed to halt universal medical care to "break" the president) calls Obama "the world's best salesman of socialism." Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says Democrats want to create "socialist republics" in America. Etc. This attack is effective, souring a lot of Americans on Democratic reforms. But the negative reaction is based on ignorance. Some don't understand that socialism simply is government programs that help society and people.

The WV Gazette is a very unimpressive, endangered specie, and the type of drivel cited above tells us why. They are indeed ignorant propagandists, out of touch with reality and the Kanawha Valley.
