He’s definitely a Marxist. He, by his own admission, wants to redistribute wealth and do away with the “restrictions imposed on us by our founding father.” Is that the change you want?

H/t Drudge. AoSHQ has links to the full interview as well as audio and video downloads. Spread this around. Make sure people have all of the facts. If the MSM won’t do it, then it’s up to the citizens.

Update: Michelle Malkin has a good summary, including transcripts (partly pasted below) from Stop the ACLU (emphasis mine):

If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court. I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order as long as I could pay for it I’d be o.k. But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution., at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendancy to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that.

The notion of robbing from the rich to give to the poor has been romanticized by the Robin Hood stories. However, this is a good time to point out that Robin Hood robbed from a tyrannical government to give to the poor who were being taxed to death. Obama wants to tax the rich until they are as poor as everyone, thus redistributing the wealth by means of a nanny state. This is playing Robin Hood. It’s called theft, and when done by a government it’s called tyranny injustice.

Socialism is a power game. Make the people dependent on the government, and then the government can never lose power.
