1) Socialism is not a form of government. It is an economic scheme. People who talk about it like it is have no idea what they are talking about. And more importantly shouldn't be listened to.
2) The Constitution doesn't say what you think it says. In particular how the First Amendment is generally misunderstood. What it relates to is the government silencing descent, not to the back and forth between non-government entities.
3) And Kanye West. He is kind of a Douche Bag. Seriously girlfriend is like 12 and did put together a very nice video and song.
4) Generally I talk about race baiting and "dog whistle" politics from a minority perspective. But this is just appalling, those who are involved should be absolutely ashamed of themselves, and should not be allowed to hold public office. I do not know Steve Cohen, but this just beyond the pale.
Some might say this stuff is just semantics, I say fie upon them! Words and language matter. How we communicate says a lot about our thought process. All I ask in any debate is that there is agreement on what the terms will be. When individuals are allowed to misuse language it damages that relationship.
