To my knowledge there is only one reasonably serious socialist in American politics--Bernie Sanders, the US Senator from Vermont.

As it happens, I was reading the thread and listening to Colbert and Sanders concurrently. The points that Sanders made didn't sound any different from standard liberal fare. If what he said is typical and given that he calls himself a Democrat/Socialist, you can understand why folks might confuse your basic liberal big welfare government with socialism.
