VIDEO: MSNBC ANCHOR INSULTS SOCIALISTS

If that headline confuses you, it's likely because Carlos Watson of MSNBC put forth an argument that is so convoluted that one would be well within bounds to reach that conclusion. That said, if you're a socialist, you should be pretty angry that Watson likens your label to that of the "n" word.

What Watson was apparently trying to do was compare racists that use the "n" word with people who attach the "socialist" label to people who are actually socialists.

Note what Watson does though. He demonizes socialism by putting it on par with the most racially charged term available to the English language. It reminded me of tactics used by Islamists who champion and revere Hitler but accuse Jews of being nazis.

I'm sure that wasn't his intent but then again, my guess is he's probably scratching his head right now trying to determine exactly what his intent was. Note how NEWSBUSTERS also makes the very valid point that the cover of Newsweek may need to be Watson's next target because their cover once donned proudly that "We're All Socialists Now". Think of the logical implication of Watson's words. Isn't he saying that such a phrase is akin to Newsweek saying, "We Are All N's Now"?

Perhaps Newsweek's decision-maker should be fired for posting racial epithets on its cover.
