DeLay On Obama: ‘I Tagged Him As A Marxist Months Ago’
DeLay On Obama: ‘I Tagged Him As A Marxist Months Ago’
Invoking William Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews today, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay declared that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is a “radical” and a “Marxist.” Matthews asked DeLay if he was comfortable with the McCain campaign using phrases like, “socialist, communist, Anti-American.” “Absolutely,” DeLay responded.
Referring to his recent interview with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Matthews said, “We had someone on this show the other day who said [Obama] should be checked out for being anti-American. Where would you put him, do you think he’s anti-American?” DeLay said, “I’m not going to go that far,” but boasted, “I tagged him as a Marxist months ago.” Watch it:
DeLay’s remarks come just days after WFTV’s Barbara West quoted Karl Marx before suggesting to Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) that Obama is a “Marxist.” Earlier this week, when asked if Obama’s policy proposals amounted to communism, McCain said, “I don’t know.” Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) has suggested on multiple occasions that Obama is a “socialist.”
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) claimed over the weekend that Obama’s policy proposals would transform the country into “totalitarian dictatorship.”

Gosh, I tagged Delay as a criminal, two years ago.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:12 pmAnd I tagged you as a crook as well as a liar years ago, Tommy.
Why isn’t this crook in jail yet?
October 29th, 2008 at 6:12 pmDisgraced “conservatives” like DeLay are the perfect face of a GOP that is circling the drain faster than even guys like Matthews can help slow down. It is best to just get out of they’re way and let them go down.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:13 pmDeLay said, “I’m not going to go that far,” but boasted, “I tagged him as a Marxist months ago.”
And almost all of us here tagged you as a criminal years ago ; looks as if the USDOJ agrees , jerkoff ………….
October 29th, 2008 at 6:13 pmDeLay also said in that interview that Michele Bachmann is a brilliant politician.
Why isn’t this jackass in jail…?
October 29th, 2008 at 6:14 pmDelay has his Marxist side. It involves opening taxpayer’s wallets for his buds.
John Snow’s Cerberus Capital Management is likely to get Treasury money to own Chrysler and GM, while making GMAC a commercial bank. That gives GMAC access to Hank Paulson’s bailout window.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:15 pmCool. He’s been tagged as worse a long time before. So why would anyone listen to this corrupt idiot?
October 29th, 2008 at 6:17 pmJust what the Doctor ordered for the Mcstain campaign, another disgraced congressman. One wonders why they’re losing…
October 29th, 2008 at 6:17 pmWho care what this “Felon” idiot has to say? He is a moron that belongs in a jail cell.

Delay:”That we do not know yet” !!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:21 pmAnd we tagged you as a POS A$$HOLE CRIMINAL years ago…
….hey, why aren’t you in prison yet????
October 29th, 2008 at 6:21 pmSmarmy little idiot.
Jebus.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:22 pmI tagged Tom DeLay as jailbait years ago.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:24 pmLeave it to Tweety to yet again give a criminal former federal employee a platform to spew their nonsense. What, Gordon Liddy was to busy?
I would really like to know how Matthews thinks having somebody like Delay on his show produces anything of worth. If he wants a Republican spin on things there are current members of Congress that can be brought on to talk without having to help a proven liar and criminal get more face time than he needs or deserves.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:24 pmMost Repuppetcans cant even spell Marxist let alone tell you what the hell it means, these peole are just throwung out sh## to see if it sticks because a “change” is coming. And why the hell is Delay not locked the f up anyway. You all watch, as soon as Obama wins the press will all of a sudden become the watchdog it was suppose to be and Repuppetcans will all of a sudden be interested in transparency and “fair play”.

October 29th, 2008 at 6:28 pmI wonder if the ‘real’ Republicans have gone into hiding and are waiting for this group of criminals and facists to finally self-destruct before regaining control of the GOP…
October 29th, 2008 at 6:29 pmWhat “Tired of Fighting” said…only double so.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:30 pm“I tagged him as a Marxist months ago.”
And everyone else who knows anything about anything brands you as a Fascist. Mr. Tom. And why aren’t you in prison yet?
October 29th, 2008 at 6:30 pmWhy is Matthews even bothering with DeLay? I thought he was irrelevant.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:32 pmDeLay was indicted in September of 2005…over three years ago!!! The most recent thing I can find is April of this year which indicates that the case is still held up in the 3rd Court of Appeals since 2006!!!

October 29th, 2008 at 6:32 pmIt does seem that Obama is in the direction of socialistic thinking. It bothers me most that most people don’t seem aware of that. The media seems set on keeping unpleasant information about Obama from the public.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:32 pmTHANKS TWEETY……FOR GIVING US ANOTHER STUPID INTERVIEW AND THE NEOKKKONS ANOTHER PLATFORM TO SPREAD THEIR STUPIDITY.
JOB WELL DONE
October 29th, 2008 at 6:33 pmDelay? I tagged him as a shit-eating fascist scumbag a decade ago…
October 29th, 2008 at 6:34 pmTag, you’re it, you piece of sh**

It bothers me that you apparently have no idea of what “socialistic” means. And it’s pretty obvious that you’ve never really looked at the policies Obama has proposed, which are decidedly middle-of-the-road liberal, not even faintly “socialistic.”
October 29th, 2008 at 6:37 pmIs Tweety trying to bolster Delay’s position in the republican party, or weaken it?
If there is a blowout of Republicans in the coming election, won’t the Delay strategy be deemed ineffective, and out of step with the current political reality, of Democratic ascendance?
With solid majorities in both houses, won’t Delay be passe‘?

If the election plays out as it appears to, and the Republicans lose big–not only the White House, the Senate and the House, but at the state level–they’re going to be on each other like starving dogs.
The Far Right, especially the Religious Right, has been feeling its oats this year, first with Huckabee and now with Palin. Never really keen on McCain, they’re going to blame him for the Party’s failure to retain power, for failing to institute the theocracy they hoped for, and they won’t just go off and lick their wounds. I’m guessing they finally take over the Republican Party lock, stock and barrel and they’ll be kicking the “elites”, the last remainders of intellectual conservatism, to the curb. God is, after all, on their side.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:42 pmDo these folks think that the terms communism, socialism and Marxism still hold the dread they once did in our post-USSR world? For cryin’ out loud, the Olympics were in communist China this year.
I hope Obama wins for lots of reasons, but primarily to finally put an end to the stupidity of right wing fear campaigning once and for all. If he ascends to the White House and Armageddon doesn’t strike, all these bloviating idiots will finally have the egg on their faces they’ve so richly earned.
And Matthews is an idiot. He doesn’t challenge these guys enough–not Bachmann, not Delay, not even guests from the left. He’s a great interrupter, but not a great interviewer.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:42 pmNo matter who gets in, we are and will be in a state of Corporate Feudalism.

October 29th, 2008 at 6:43 pmDaves 111, Reagan was a Marxist then. The top income tax bracket returns to Ronnie’s tax levels under Obama’s proposal.
That makes President & General Dwight D. Eisenhower a flaming communist with his eggregious taxation.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:43 pmRight, daves111. That;s why EVERY network is constantly saying: socialist, marxist, infanticide, pallin’ with terrorists, Wright, secret Muslim, Birth Certificate etc.
Nope. Nothing “unpleasant” there. Stupid troll.

It will be interesting to watch the dregs trying to bootstrap themselves into political relevance.
And quite humorous, given the last eight years…
October 29th, 2008 at 6:45 pmWere all these Republican leaders home schooled?
October 29th, 2008 at 6:45 pmWhy does Matthews continue to invite this fascist thug onto his show? This is as if anyone believes a word from this dishonored criminal says. DeLay should be behind bars.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:45 pmWhat’s that? Another felon who thinks his opinion should matter?
HA-Ha!
October 29th, 2008 at 6:46 pmAre the “people,” is the Government, required by any standards you can name, to provide Gov Palin woth services to assist her in raising her defective kid? She CHOSE to have it, knowing it was defective, that she alone could NOT provide it with optimal support, and relied on the Society for assistance.
Why should you or I be taxed to provide for the care of Palin’s defective kid, which she chose to birth and raise? I got no eggs, and it’s not my defective sperm anywhere in the picture…
Caring for the defective kid’s a form of “socialism,’ it seems to me, because she taking from those who can give…
October 29th, 2008 at 6:47 pmWho the f uck is Tom Delay and why the f uck should anybody give a shit what his disgreaced ass thinks?
October 29th, 2008 at 6:47 pmSure, but it’s Palin who decided that the citizens of Alaska are owners of their resources and should share in the profits sending them all $3,000 checks. Why doesn’t that work in other states like Texsas and Louisiana, because they don’t have a socialist governor like Palin. The problem I have is that Alaska gets about twice as money federal tax dollars back than it pays in, why if they can give residents that kind of money don’t they pay for their own pipeline instead of charging us $30 billion for their pork barrel project. Oh and by the way, last week Anchorage had the highest price per gallon for gas in the country. /ranbt
October 29th, 2008 at 6:47 pmWe tagged Delay as a felonious extortionist years ago!

daves111 Says:
Dave: a requirement for being in the Senate is US Citizenship. Why have you morons wasted time questioning Obama’s citizenship? Raising taxes on the top 2% is no more socialistic than lowering the same bracket by Dubya Bush. Are all you guys morons? Do you have to be so stupid all the time? You all protray yourselves as knuckle dragging, bottom feeding, troglodytes. Get a life.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:49 pmTweety’s push a particular narrative, that’s only coming clear in small installments.
He hated McCain, probably for his patrician background, and by extension, Palin. But he’s also seating a lot of “guests” who are making the case that divided government can be a good thing.
It’s clear he’s doing this, because he has never before, in the entire Bush term, made the case for divided government.
It’s only now, when his Village cohort feels threatened by a possible reality-changing election, that he starts talking about political balance.
October 29th, 2008 at 6:52 pmDaves111 Says he is an idiot

October 29th, 2008 at 6:52 pmCan we all lighten up on Dave cuz Dave’s not here anymore man…
October 29th, 2008 at 6:54 pmYes! Thanks to Delay for pointing this out. Somewhere between a top rate of 33% and a top rate of 36%, we turn from standard American progressive taxation to totalitarian Marxism. We need to know exactly where that bright line exists so we dare not cross it. Is it 33.1%? 35.9%?

October 29th, 2008 at 6:59 pmGo out to your garden shed, DeLay, lock the door, and breathe deep.
Even one of capitalism’s most ardent advocates, the economist Joseph Shumpeter, declared some kind of socialism would eventually supplant capitalism, mainly because ot the internal (what Marx called the “immanent”) contradictions of capital formation.
The only quetion that matters is what kind of ’socialist’ system we choose with which to replace the current system.
I’d choose a “social democracy” or a “democratic socialism” on the best european model…
But there are many other models, most of which are draconian in the extreme, and would appeal the Rightards among us for their authoritarian/totalitarian structures…
As Bartleby said, I’d prefer not…

I believe we had a sliding scale all the way up to 90% on top earners before Ronnie Reagan came in and convinced us that borrow and spend is better than tax and spend. Look at what good it has done us. Was Ronnie a Marxist or Socialist?
October 29th, 2008 at 7:00 pmI wonder if Delay thinks Colin Powell is a black supremest Marxist also.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:01 pmI was waiting for Matthews to do or say something clever or smart. Maybe have some understanding what Obama means by the constitution being a “charter of negative rights”. It is! The problem is that Barrak was talking to smart person at the time of the interview, not a simpleton like Delay. Obama understood the people who listen to that broadcast are also educated. If he was speaking to the Fox News folks he would have brought the crayons out.

How does a guy finishing 894th out of 899 get that plum position as a jet fighter pilot usually reserved for the top 5%? How about that scary story of the wealthy wife stealing her own charitable foundation’s money to buy illegal drugs? Dave, do the words “The Hanoi Tapes” mean anything to you?

Corporatist. When Reagan entered office, we were the world’s biggest creditor nation. After 28 years of borrowing and spending, we are the world’s biggest debtor nation.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:07 pmseriously – why is tweety giving this guy any time?
headline on the googlenews page:
Conservatives say Bush and McCain destroyed Republican Party
Los Angeles Times – 2 hours ago
Polls show that Democrat Barack Obama is leading in battleground states, including some — such as Ohio — carried by George W. Bush not once but twice.
and tom delay helped.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:07 pmOK, kids. It’s just Tweety’s way of building up the ratings like the wrasslers do before a big match, like the barker does at the carnival, like all the other pitchmen do on teevee.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:08 pmPalin sold her windfall profits tax on oil companies to the voters in Alaska as a way to take excess profits and spread the wealth around to Alaskans.
Delay must have missed that one.
Reagan’s Earned Income Tax Credit took tax money from the wealthy and distributed it to the working poor.
Delay absent-mindedly must have forgotten that as well.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:10 pmThe more indicted, convicted, disgraced and useless has beens the Republicans can trot out between now and next Tuesday, the better.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:11 pmNot any of McCain’s WEAK campaign tactics, this Tom Delay fellow, and his supporters’ attacks of lies, hatred, fear, racism, and division WILL NEVER PREVAIL against Sen. Obama – this nation’s next Commander-in-Chief !!!
You [ Barack Obama], are from God and have overcome them [the enemy's attacks, schemes, and plots ] , because the one [God] who is in you [ Barack Obama] is greater than the one [the enemy ] who is in the world. – 1 John 4:4
No weapon forged against you [ Barack Obama] will prevail, and you [ Barack Obama] will refute every tongue that accuses you [ Barack Obama] . This is the heritage of the servants [ Barack Obama] of the LORD, and this is their [ Barack Obama] vindication from me,” declares the LORD. – Isaiah 54:17
” I [ God ] will send my terror ahead of you [ Barack Obama] and throw into confusion every nation you [ Barack Obama] encounter. I [ God ] will make all your [ Barack Obama] enemies turn their backs and run.” – Exodus 23:27
They will fight against you [ Barack Obama] but will not overcome you, for I [God ] am with you [ Barack Obama] and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. – Jeremiah 1:19
The Lord will rescue me [ Barack Obama] from every evil attack and will bring me [ Barack Obama] safely to his heavenly kingdom. – 2 Timothy 4:18
11 For he will command his angels concerning you [ Barack Obama] to guard you [ Barack Obama ] in all your ways; 12 they will lift you [ Barack Obama ] up in their hands, so that you [ Barack Obama ] will not strike your [his] foot against a stone. 13 You [ Barack Obama ] will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you [ Barack Obama ] will trample the great lion and the serpent. – Psalm 91:11-13
I have given you [ Barack Obama ] authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you [ Barack Obama ]. – Luke 10:19
It’s time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It’s time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It’s time for REAL change in Washington, it’s time to elect Barack Obama for president !
Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

Example of Republican values with DeLay under investigation for crimes, Foley molest kids, Ney was drunk and can’t remember, Craig looking for sex in the men’s room, Vitters still hiring prositiutes and Uncle Ted Stevens a convicted felon. The list continues as some Democrats will join their fellow Republican criminal Law Makers.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:15 pmAnd we all tagged DeLay as a criminal, a liar, an intimidator, a bully, a hate-monger, a racist, — I could go on– many years ago. DeLay- your opinion no longer counts, except to Repubs who embrace criminals/felons – like Palin embracing Ted Stevens!!

Please, there’s enough nuts on the right that make claims like this for Bush and also for Palin. We don’t need them on this side.
October 29th, 2008 at 7:19 pmI just watched the entire interview with DeLay. In addition to the items mentioned, he also: wants to get rid of the progressive income tax and wants the Fair Tax (very high sales tax). When asked what has brought the Republican party down, he said “a lot of things” and “people shouldn’t point fingers.” Guess the huge corruptions scandals that hit don’t count? He also says Obama wants to “shred the Constitution.” Guess he missed the 6 years that he helped Bush do just that.

October 29th, 2008 at 7:32 pmIt’s the same old ruse – accuse Obama of precisely what DeLay & Co. are guilty of:
1) wanting to stack the SCOTUS with judges who will let them shred the constitution
2) slander and destroy anyone who disagrees with them
It’s so blatantly obvious and it’s been done so many times that a sliver of former Bush voters just HAVE to start seeing through it. Tell me they will, please!

US has 5% of the worlds population and 25% of the worlds prisoners come from the US.
And even with this lopsided prison population Delay is still out there?
Something is very seriously wrong with this picture.

October 29th, 2008 at 9:15 pmDelay, King and their ilk belong in asyllums if not prison. Trully pathetic. On Nov. 4th they will be humiliated. They should be humbled but all they know is hubris. America is so through with these clowns and their enablers in the corporate media.
October 29th, 2008 at 9:45 pmI’m really energized now that I see the polls tightening in every battleground state as well as nationally.
It’s even more fun to listen to the Democrats’ pleas for help!
Don’t they have enough campaign workers registering and voting illegally in Ohio already???
Why can’t Obama close the deal? He has:
1. >95% of the Black vote and they will turn out 100%
2. Most of the MSM who are totally in the tank for him
3. Bad economic news that happened just at the right time
4. The Republican party, which is clearly out of favor
5. 100’s of millions of dollars, much of it probably illegal
On and on!
So, geniuses, tell me. Why doesn’t he have this thing CLEARLY in the bag, hmmmmm?

I see you are treated to the same kind of “Love” EugeneDebs gave me!
I can feeeeeelthe love, can’t you?
TRuthfully, He/She is way over the top. I suggested meds, but was met with vile epithets for my trouble!
October 29th, 2008 at 10:52 pmThe Democrats OWN internal polling is causing them to sweat bullets now.
The Democrats themselves recognize Obama needs “ten to win.” That’s because it takes around 6 points to essentially be even with Republican candidates running for national office.
October 29th, 2008 at 11:17 pmObama is a Marxist. And Marxist-Leninist thought requires something like Darwinian evolution to persist. It shouldn’t surprise us that totalitarianism is a common result of a concept based on “survival of the fittest” underpinnings. The stronger ones get to the top of the totalitarianist food chain and prey on the weaker ones.
Until there is a long line at the grocery store for no bread.

Ditto. All you need to know about Obama can be learned by reading Saul Alinski’s book. End of story.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:04 amDr. Hussein Matt,
I’m still waiting for an ANSWER to my question. Not your blind faith assertions.
Please tell me – Given all the wisdom I’ve heard from you folks (all of which is supposedly beyond arguing over BTW), Why hasn’t Obama simply put this one out of reach, hmmmm?
October 30th, 2008 at 12:06 amDr. Hussein Matt,
It ain’t over by a long shot and to say so simply show the height of arrogance and hubris.
Let’s just hope there are a lot of people who think the way you do on Nov. 4th! Why vote? Obama’s gonna win!!!!
October 30th, 2008 at 12:09 amI am wondering why crooked politicians like De Lay, men who have criminally fleeced the American populace, who have been perp walked out of Congress in ignominy get an opportunity to spew McCarthyist bile on a major cable network.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:21 amGod the right wing, they want a civil war, for fear they won’t be able to shove their incompetent governance down the throats of the rest of us for another 4 years.
Marxists? I guess Liberal is no longer a dirty word, eh? Not like kneejerk reactionary “conservative.” What? they want to screw up the nation even more? Good night and good luck.
CitizenE,
You need to get your facts straight on Tom DeLay. He has done none of the things you attribute to him and hasn’t been on any “perp walks.” He was indicted by an extremely partisan D.A. in Texas and under Republican rules he had to step down. The Democrats knew the REpublicans had this rule, thus the indictment, which was later thrown out.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:33 amTo be a Marxist, Obama would have to believe in dialectical materialism, and some sense of class struggle. One can believe in socialism and various forms of redistribution of wealth (witness the US’s own progressive taxation system) and not be a Marxist. Bush’s good friend Tony Blair considers himself a Christian socialist, not a Marxist. It’s annoying that conservatives don’t even know the basic meaning of words one would learn in any introductory political science class. http://straighttalkonmccain.blogspot.com/
October 30th, 2008 at 12:54 amgod what a greasy, worthless, sob
October 30th, 2008 at 12:56 amDeLay was tagged as corrupt and shown the door. It is amazing that he is given national coverage as he tags around with a slimy flipper.
October 30th, 2008 at 1:19 amNo shame whatsoever, like the rest of the stinkin repug klan.
Tweedy’s show is like a broke down Daily Show.
October 30th, 2008 at 1:21 amI tagged Tom DeLay as a ten dollar thug years ago. I win, you lose, Tom.

Thank You, go ahead Mr Delay.

October 30th, 2008 at 3:06 amIf Groucho Marx was a Marxist, wouldn’t you at least think about joining the party?
October 30th, 2008 at 4:19 amThat’s ok Delay, we tagged you as an a$$hole criminal a long time ago, except you are wrong about Obama and we were right about you.
October 30th, 2008 at 6:51 amAnd we still care what Tom DeLay thinks about anything…why?
October 30th, 2008 at 10:36 amI thought that fascist was in Jail?
