You do have a point. The name calling does little to further a discussion, and it gets old really fast. I think even you would have to admit, however, that how much you identify any candidate's philosophy as marxist, communist, etc.. will vary depending on the point of view you're starting with. For us conservatives, Obama is about as close as you can get without coming out and admitting it. Call it hybrid Americanized Marxism, but it's not too far off.
