Msnbc TV Lastword segment. Socialism isn't a dirty word

A sane human being stands out in the crowd. O'Donnell re-writes Beck and with rational calm passion explains why he, and every one in America is a socialist. So stop using it as a slur.

... what the hell was that?

Ok, I'm dying to see you try and cite your source on this. Free market anarchy led to the rich enslaving immigrants, until the state broke in to say, sorry, you can't own human beings. Again: A social program doesn't make for socialism. Socialism doesn't mean Communism. Slavery happens at either end of the extreme. Communism means all slaves to the state, capitalism unchecked lets people own other people. Only in the middle does it vanish which is what he said:Balance

Side topic. Doesn't he smile just a little too much when Beck calls him a hot loverboy?

I agree in freedom of choice, and re health ins. I personally would rather see Canada have a system similar to public vs private option. UHC is socialism purer than Obama. It's why our rich leave to get surgery, and your poor try to come here for it. As to "if promised something, you expect it". My Counterargument is: Duh. Socialism doesn't have lack of responsibility just because YOUR politicians don't accept responsibility. Stop equating the words without justification.

Midday check of my fav flamewar, Re USA opt out, found a vid of Armey vs Maddow on Meet the press, Armey accused of and agreed he has opted out. Props to Armey for at least putting his money where his mouth is; unless you have all done the same, you ARE socialists, even if you don't wanna use the word. Please understand my perspective here, I agree Greece's collapse is Gov't promising social programs without having the balls to pay for them. I'm a Canadian. And our system isn't collapsing.

Moreover, unlike your (mostly) spineless (elected) Liberals down in the US, I won't back down from defending the idea when attacked just because YOU say the word is bad. (Context: Canada's Conservatives are the conservatives, our liberals are liberals, our Democrats are actually our far left party, libs being center left; hence my occasional slip) And by the way, saying money is at the center of commerce is like saying water is at the center of ice.

hmm. Funny. You're still here. I threaten to block you because your ideas turned to implying We lick the UK's balls. My Dogma is simple. So was Lawrence's. Very early in the post I set the rules. Ideas, positions, regardless were welcome. Name calling wasn't. I gave you a warning before blocking and walked off like Ann Coulter. My point i'm trying to defend is that socialism isn't a dirty word. It's a theory. And because we all use 5 to 20% of it in the free world, I'd like to know why it is.

@tanksbb ....thick, shit shovelling, hog slopping redneck dickhead lol. You have no idea in that thick inbred head of yours what it means to be free.

[OpeningSalvoe]

@tanksbb WHERE are the British CRYING for their guns back you fucking right wing retard? Europeans don't want to live in a warzone like your country. We don't want teenagers running around with automatic weapons, we don't want an endless series of high school shootings like you have in your country. You're some fucking moron. Europe doesn't have the epidemic levels of gun crime that America has, it's such a more civilized way to live, you wouldn't know anything about that because you're a.....

[tanksbb]

@OpeningSalvoe haaaaahahaha you dipshit! You're so fuckin brainwashed you think those socialist bastards are free. Where's their guns? Britons are CRYING for their guns back you communist cunt. They're neither happy nor free, you bugger eating, lowlife red-headed prick. They got suckered in by you shit-eating socialists and now they want back out.

[OpeningSalvoe]

@tanksbb France, Britain, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and YOURS but to name a few you stupid, retarded, ignorant, uneducated, braindead fucking dope.

[tanksbb]

@OpeningSalvoe Prove it you communist bugger eater. Which socialist country is truly free?

[OpeningSalvoe]

@tanksbb Socialist societies ARE free societies you ignorant moron. Stop being so retarded and i'll stop calling you a retard.

[tanksbb]

@OpeningSalvoe So stop lying and I will stop calling you a liar you ignorant propagandist.

[tanksbb]

@OpeningSalvoe Who are you but a RED socialist/ communist pig? Your opinion amounts to nothing in a free society.

[OpeningSalvoe]

@tanksbb ...because you're a god damned uneducated moron.

[OpeningSalvoe]

@tanksbb You're a fucking spastic you know that. I've already stated THREE times how America is a socialist country and you are in a state of complete denial about it. You and your kind have already lost. You have medicare, welfare benefits, social security and a socialist president, you're a simple minded dickhead who just can't handle the truth that's staring him in the face. If you knew anything about socialism you'd know that socialists don't hate the free market but you don't know that...
