Mayor Pete: Red Diaper Baby

What is meant by the charge "red diaper baby"?

The offspring of a Marxist/Communist.
You're not familiar with the term?
You really should have read the piece before bitching about it.

Your dishonesty is unbelievable but also totally believable at the same time.

The parallel between Pete and Barack and their Marxist parents and other Marxist influences.
Pete immersed himself in Marxism starting at an early age - high school through college.

Yes, but it's meaningless without the implication that he must then be a red himself. Otherwise, what's the point in belaboring it?

All true. And nothing nowhere by anyone called Pete a communist.

You said he had marxist influences and "immersed himself in marxism" but are not calling him a communist? A real man would have the balls to just own up to the stupid things he says.

The implication is yours to make and you made it. The article specifically did not.

If you had read the piece you'd know not to get all flustered about facts previously unknown to you.

Mayor Pete: Red Diaper Baby | The American Spectator

This is kind of a long piece but it's a fascinating read.

I know there are some things about Mayor Pete I certainly wasn't aware of and I don't think any media has explored.
Some examples:
Pete's father was a Marxist.
The parallel between Pete and Barack and their Marxist parents and other Marxist influences.
Pete immersed himself in Marxism starting at an early age - high school through college.
In high school Pete wrote a glowing essay on - wait for it - then Congressman & Socialist Bernie Sanders.

Nonetheless even with Pete's shallow media examination so far it's been obvious that calling Pete a moderate is preposterous.

The Red Diaper Baby piece concludes with ...
"No, this doesn't mean that Pete is a commie, a closet member of Communist Party USA, or that he, say, served as a presidential elector to the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party (as Bernie Sanders did). But it surely helps explain Pete's obvious cultural radicalism, which no doubt was something he would have first observed under the red-diaper roof of his father."


We've seen Mayor Pete in uniform, we've seen him on the campaign trail and in debates.
What's fascinating is contemplating when the media, or Mayor Pete's opponents, would want to get around to mentioning Pete's little known history themselves.
You'd think they would be aware of it by now.
There are examples of famous Communist/Marxist citizens of some note who have changed their thinking.
Pete should be given the opportunity to explain his changes, if he's made any.

Just because you immerse yourself in ancient Roman mythology it doesn't make you Hercules.

You may be a huge fan of communism, but a communist has never run in the Democratic party and won't for a very long time. Your issue is you think literally everyone left of Trump is a communist. Simple minds prefer simple concepts.

Yet Rush and Sean lie about almost all Democrats being communists.

Hell, they said Obama and Bill Clinton were. I'm sure Bloomberg will be a communist too.

Paul Kenger described Pete as a Cultural Radical. You describe yourself as fascinated with the contents of the article.

You wrote in your OP "... it's obvious that calling Pete a moderate is preposterous."

That reads like somebody scared to me, especially when I have years of experience reading comments of said poster.

Not everyone here has enough self-awareness to recognize themselves as scared... know what I mean?

No I don't. Self awareness is easy. Fear is easy to recognize for me. How about you?
But watching Pete campaign and listening to him it's clear he's not the moderate he's peddling himself to be. You think he's a moderate?
Who's Draper and is he/she the "said poster"?

Just trying to get a handle on if you live your life by the ten commandments.

You know, given the threads that you start. And if I were you I would answer "no".

That you didn't know what I meant does not come as a surprise. We have a difference of opinion regarding your self-awareness. I work on facing fear. I consider Pete a moderate.

I typed 'Draper' by mistake... and have edited the post to read 'Paul Kengor'.

As to 'said poster', think about it, then guess again.

I'm said poster? I'm flattered you have years of experience reading said poster.
Said poster has no fear of Pete Buttigieg.
Said poster says Pete Buttigieg is no moderate.
Decriminalizing drug possession is not a moderate position.
Abolishing the EC is not a moderate position.
Climate change is a national security threat is not a moderate position.
Single Payer is not a moderate position.
"Study" reparations is not a moderate position.
