Rachel Maddow
“The hills are alive with the sounds of conservatism. Global warming doesn‘t exist. The media is full of liberals. Somebody wants to take away your guns. And of course, the ‘it’ refrain of the moment […] is President Obama is a socialist. …
“This ‘he is a socialist’ thread in the conservative weave these days - it means different things to different people. When I hear Obama is a commie, I think you are not a serious person and I don‘t have to pay very much attention to the rest of the things that you say. That‘s one way to react.
“A politically conservative person might hear it and think political epithet, political accusation, ‘Oh, no these Democrats are going to make our country more like the dreaded Sweden.’”
