How can I forget that a Ga. congressman, right after Nov. 4, said: "In my opinion, we've elected a Marxist to be president of the United States."

I did a 11-08-08 post entitled "Record these words for future (meaning 2010) reference. Rep. Broun: "In my opinion, we've elected a Marxist to be president of the United States."

Today the AJC's Political Insider reports that Paul Broun expresses "regret" for calling Obama a Marxist, and said that he didn’t mean to call Obama a Marxist, or a dictator. "Nothing could be further from the truth."

But as noted in the above-referenced post, what Broun said was:

"In my opinion, we've elected a Marxist to be president of the United States." This is a quote from a luncheon of the Martinez-Evans Rotary Club.

What he said may not be close to the truth, but that he said it is not only not far from the truth, it is the truth.

I am a forgive and forget type guy. But a United States congressman calling the President-elect a Marxist, a Marxist, is going to take me some time to forget.

I so regret that the congressman that said this is from Georgia, my Georgia, the Empire State of the South. Damn his soul.
