So it seems Jim Demint confused National Socialism with Social Democracy. The varying historical uses of the term socialism can be confusing to Americans. So while I don’t find this scandalous, per se, I do think it’s a bit funny considering the following from On the Issues:

  • Rated 0% by the HRC, indicating an anti-gay-rights stance.
  • Rated 100% by FAIR, indicating a voting record restricting immigration.
