Not a Communist

Want to know how we know Barack Obama isn't really a socialist or a communist? Because actual socialists and communists don't think so either:

Local communists, rarely tapped as campaign pundits, say Sen. Barack Obama and his policies stand far afield from any form of socialism they know.

John Bachtell, the Illinois organizer for Communist Party USA, sees attempts by Sen. John McCain's campaign to label Obama a socialist as both offensive to socialists and a desperate ploy to tap into fears of voters who haven't forgotten their Cold War rhetoric.

But he's a communist, so he'd say that, wouldn't he?
