See the problem?

Anyone else see the journalistic problem with the wording of this article?
"Both Boehner and John McCain have been trying to pin the “socialist” label on Obama in the waning days of the campaign—suggesting that Obama wants to raise taxes to pay for expanded social welfare programs."
How does one "pin the label" of socialism on one who espouses socialist principles? That's like trying to "pin the label" of entertainer on Bono.
"Suggesting that Obama wants to raise taxes to pay for expanded social welfare programs..." -- how is it a suggestion to pretty much spell out Obama's entire campaign premise?
