this isn't just newt. it's pretty clear that most american conservatives who yell about "socialism" have no idea what the term actually means. it's just a label for something they don't like. they might as well substitute the word "doodyhead".
i'm also a little amused by the term "reactionary socialist". maybe a real historian would know that "reactionary" is often considered to be the opposite of "socialist".. "a stupid man's idea of what a smart person sounds like" indeed.
