That's been making the rounds, it's from Gateway Pundit:

The Socialist Party of America announced in their October 2009 newsletter that 70 Congressional democrats currently belong to their caucus.
This admission was recently posted on Scribd.com:

Well I know at least San Diegan Bob Filner is for certain. He's a full blown red-diaper-doper baby. His dad was a leader in the American Communist Party back in the 40's. Keeps getting elected by the clueless voters in South Bay (probably with a sizeable chunk of illegal votes).

Your title is right though...
Right but incomplete.

'I just discovered there are 70 devout socialists in congress...and about 300+ slightly-less-than devout' is probably closer to the truth.

Their voting records and actions speak the actual truth ! Never mind that their party is dim or 'rat --their title is liar, coward and hyprocrite.

When you use an argument, or cite a "fact" that you haven't done the research on, you make yourself look like and idiot, and you hurt your own side.

When you make a provably false statement, you make yourself look like an idiot, and you hurt your own side.

When you cite a known crackpot, you make yourself look like an idiot, and you hurt your own side.

When you use a well known discredited or provably false argument, you make yourself look like an idiot and you hurt your own side.

This is why I don't allow people to cite world net daily, Alex Jones, or vdare in this community unless they have at least two other independent and verifiable sources.
