Barack Obama Was a Socialist in 1996!

We kind of all knew he was a socialist this whole time, really. I mean, he had socialist-y hair. And sorta danced like a socialist. He definitely played basketball like a socialist. But we never irrefutable proof of his socialist-iness… until now!

Buzzfeed's resident wizard of history Andrew Kaczynski dug up this flier from 1996 that clearly shows Barack Obama agreeing to speak at an event held by the Democratic Socialists of America in Chicago…

Ugh! Look at him up there on that flier with all them socialists! And you can tell they're real dyed-in-the-wool socialists because they're academics. It's gross!

The Gateway Pundit asks: "So, really… Can we call him a socialist now?" It's a good question. People have been waiting so patiently for a chance to call him that these past four years. How much longer can they hold their tongues?
