On his MSNBC show last night, Lawrence O’Donnell tried to make the case that Margaret Thatcher was “a good socialist” for defending some of Britain’s welfare programs while also getting rid of ineffective, wasteful ones. “What do you call a socialist that gets rid of bad socialism and keeps good socialism?” he asked. “I call that person ‘a good socialist,’ like Margaret Thatcher.”
O’Donnell called praise that Thatcher receives for “killing socialism” part of the “false credit” she gets from conservatives.
