It looks like WorldNetDaily is the source of this number. WorldNetDaily - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And, they talk about the Democratic Socialists of America. http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html

This is a good article about the difference between "socialism," "communism," and "liberalism." http://www.nationalreview.com/corner...jonah-goldberg

"Here’s my problem. Socialism isn’t the scare word Weigel and others (David Frum comes to mind) say it is. I will be honest and admit that I wish it was more of a scare word than it is, but it’s really not one. I don’t think Americans think of gulags, bread lines and Red Dawn when they hear the word 'socialist.' They think of those things when they hear the word 'Communist,' which is a different thing than socialism (or at least that’s what every book on the subject and every sincere democratic socialist I’ve ever spoken to says)." From the above Jonah Goldberg article.
