DeLay: 'Unless Obama Proves Me Wrong, He Is a Marxist'

House Republican Leader Tom DeLay (Texas) called Barack Obama a "Marxist" on the Mike Gallagher radio show Thursday.

Explaining that Obama clinching the Democratic nomination is a good thing for John McCain, DeLay said Obama's "weakness" is that "nobody knows him."

"And if McCain does not define him as what he is — hey, I have said publicly, and I will again, that unless he proves me wrong, he is a Marxist," DeLay said.

So by this logic, if I call Tom Delay a pig*&$%er, unless he affirmatively proves to me that he does not, in fact, have intimate relations with farm animals than he is one, case closed.

If this kind of transparently desperate nonsense is the best the Republicans can do, Obama is going to romp into the White House in November.
