Seems an Alaska congressasshole is channeling "Tailgunner Joe" McCarthy.


You have to go all the way back to 1929 to find a member of the Socialist
Party in the U.S. House of Representatives, but U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus
(R-Ala.) says the "workers' party" is alive and kicking on Capital Hill.

While addressing elected officials yesterday in his Birmingham-area
district, the conservative congressman told an audience at the Trussville
Civic Center that socialists in Congress are pressuring President Obama to
cater to the far left of the political spectrum, The Birmingham News
reports.

"Some of these guys I work with, the men and women in Congress, are
socialists," the congressman said.

When asked to name names following his remarks, Bachus could only cite one
person - U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), a self-described "Democratic
Socialist." But he demurred when pressed to name specific members of the
House who subscribe to socialism.

He had a number though. Bachus was able to say that 17 house members are
socialists.
