Bob McCarty Writes

It was a good thing I wasn’t drinking coffee when Charles Jaco asked why Tea Partiers call their opponents socialists, writes Jim Durbin in a piece today at the 24th State blog.  The resulting outrage wouldn’t have been good for my carpet or couch.  We call our political opponents socialists and Marxists, because they call themselves socialists and Marxists. If Jaco was a real journalist, and not a left-wing hack posing as a responsible interviewer, he would know he had a genuine certified Marxist on his very set just two months ago.

It’s possible Durbin is too young to remember that Jaco, who now works as a reporter for KTVI-2, the Fox affiliate in St. Louis, is the one-time CNN flak who reported from Baghdad during the opening salvos of Operation Desert Storm way back in 1991. Regardless, Durbin is accurate in his assessment of Jaco’s interview of Glenn Burleigh, leader of the Missouri contingent of ACORN.

After watching the video below which does little more than poke fun at a socialist nut case, I encourage you to read Durbin’s post, Glenn Burleigh: ACORN-flavored Communist, and share it as you see fit.
