Is Chris Coons a Marxist?

Christine O’Donnell’s Democratic opponent in the Delaware Senate race is described as a “Bearded Marxist”.

Click here for the controversial 1985 opinion piece which won Chris that title.

In that article, Chris never openly describes himself as a Marxist. Rather, Chris speaks of how his friends suggested that his semester spent in Kenya (the homeland of Obama’s overtly socialist father) changed his personality. Chris, in interpreting the reaction of his friends, suggested that “Africa to them seems a catalytic converter that takes in clean-shaven, clear thinking Americans and sends back bearded Marxists.”

Chris then goes on to speak glowingly of “a bright and eloquent Marxist professor” whom he studied under at the University of Nairobi. More to the point, the entire article oozes Marxist rhetoric and the Marxist concept of the oppression of the poor by the Capitalist system. Most importantly, to this day, Chris Coons still espouses rhetoric slathered with Marxist ideology.

Just because a duck does not profess to be a duck does not make it any less of a duck. And, just because Chris Coons does not openly profess to be a Marxist does not make him any less of a Marxist.

Don’t we already have too many Marxists in Washington D.C.? Haven’t they done enough harm already? Wouldn’t Christine O’Donnell be a much needed breath of fresh air on the Senate floor?
