The guy that Conservatives harped on for a year, and nobody else ever heard of or cared?  Was he actually a Marxist?

That's the guy. 

Yes.

So?  Why do Republicans get to have theocrats and they don't (in some people's minds) reflect upon all Republicans, but Democrats aren't allowed to have Marxists?

Yes.

Was he a Marxist when Obama hired him?  I mean, Buckley hired a Marxist for the National Review.  A spy to boot.  George W. Bush gave the presidential Medal of Freedom to a former communist, Irving Kristol.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Because Marxism is pretty much the worst thing imaginable.

I can think of worse things.  Nazis, WWI, anime, Martinus.

Democrats are allowed to have Marxists.  Who said they aren't?

Glen Beck.

Glen Beck doesn't have any power over who Obama selects for his administration.

My point is that a Marxist associated with a Democratic politician is seen as scandalous, whereas a Dominionist associated with a Republican would be less so.

Maybe it's just that the latter is to be expected.

Glen Beck.

Glenn Beck thinks Democrats are Marxists.

Well, I was to understand that Obama let the guy go due in some part to shrieking of Glen Beck and other righties going on about him being a Marxist.

So now the police raided both Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Oakland. I wonder where the protests will go from here...

Someday perhaps democracy will come to the USA. Just not yet.  :(

I hope that we're never in a place where democracy = shantytowns.
