Mr. Hall just will not take responsibility for his efforts to use one label to describe a large, politically divergent group of people. I recognize that this is just more of his uniquely partisan way of trying to "muddy the waters" and take attention away from  Mr. Vrable's ill-founded comments on the LWV, but if I had labeled all GOP members either "Establishment Republicans", "Tea-party Republicans" or even "Movement Conservatives",  Donnie would be quick to either correct me or take offense. He would rightly remind me that the GOP is a far more diverse group than some may think it is. 

So if Mr. Hall was honest with himself and us, he would admit that at the very least, he was just applying the term "socialist" to individuals/groups as a pejorative meaning ‘someone who is to the left of me politically’ or ‘someone with whom I disagree'. Mr. Hall has a rare talent, if he can tell us what is in the hearts and minds of all the members of the League of Women Voters.
