-- Bill Clinton: "Nobody has seen a communist in over a decade."

According to Clinton, “Nobody has seen a communist in over a decade.”

His remark was directed at House Republicans, in particular, whom he criticized for failing to reprimand Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), “one of the Tea Party members,” when in April he charged that as many as 80 Democrats in Congress are members of the Communist Party.

West stuck by his claim, saying later that he was referring to the Congressional Progressive Caucus and identifying “a very thin line” between communism, socialism and Marxism and “progressivism.”

"This is not the 1950s,” Clinton said Monday, according to reports. “At least Joe McCarthy could skate on the fact that there was one or two living communists walking around. Nobody has seen a communist in over a decade.”
