Of course they are screaming 'socialism'. They've been doing that since the 50s at least. They're not talking about economic redistribution of wealth - they never have been. They've been talking about redistribution of privilege this whole time. They called MLK a communist because he wanted blacks to have the same rights as whites, and to them that was a redistribution of the privilege that whites had 'earned'.
In their view, white, Christian, heterosexuals have earned
something that gays, non-Christians, and non-heteros have failed to
work hard enough at. It's been a class war from the outset, just not
one based around income or net worth - mostly because the whites in the
south were economically pretty bad off and blacks in the north were
catching up to them.
This picture
shows they were pushing the same buttons half a century ago that they
are today. Anti-christ, communism - it's all the same as it is today
and is well
known code. It's why the protesters will decry socialism today but
wouldn't have under Bush - it's all tied to race and other social
objectives and has nothing really to do with taxation, deficits, and
big government. You probably missed it when you came to the US, but
this is pretty old game - particularly to guys like Carter that grew up
around it.
