Al Sharpton, Socialism And Obama (Reserve Your Judgment)

When Fox’s Geraldo Rivera tried to veer Rev. Al Sharpton into using the S-word to describe the passing of the health care bill last night, the activist didn’t shy away from using the label facetiously to make his point. If this is socialism, “then the American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they voted for Barack Obama,” Sharpton shot back. We know how this sounds out of context, so maybe it’s better if you just watched the clip for yourself

So Sharpton’s argument is that Obama ran on the platform of health care reform and delivered what he promised, so if that’s socialism, then that’s what America voted for in 2008. Except, obviously it isn’t (Socialism, that is).
