Blumner calls out McCain on "socialism" rhetoric

In today's St. Pete Times, columnist Robyn Blumner tears John McCain a new one for his last-gasp effort to brand Barack Obama as our next "Redistributionist-in-Chief." Here's one key passage:

Redistributing wealth is what all nations do to one degree or another. In fact, there is no other way to describe the recent $700-billion rescue of the nation's financial sector. Here, with McCain's support, we have redistributed wealth upwards from average Americans to the institutions that employ a big chunk of the nation's multimillionaires.
