Obama's Communist Mentor
Accuracy in the Media ^ | 2/18/2008 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 02/20/2008 10:15:28 AM PST by Sioux-san

Is “coalition politics” at work in Obama’s rise to power?

In his biography of Barack Obama, David Mendell writes about Obama's life as a "secret smoker" and how he "went to great lengths to conceal the habit." But what about Obama's secret political life? It turns out that Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist.

In his books, Obama admits attending "socialist conferences" and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a "hard-core academic Marxist," which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes.

However, through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just "Frank."

This is the kind of hard hitting expose journalism that can affect the November election: Obama might win by 12 percentage points rather than 10.

Obama is another Hugo Chavez. I feel like I’m watching a pending trainwreck in slow motion. Our country will not survive him!

**It turns out that Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist.**

Doesn’t surprise me at all.

His campaign manager/speech writer Axelrod certainly had more than his fair share of Commie contact ~ his parents wrote for PM.

That step, of course, takes you directly to one of their fellow writers who regularly had lunch with a KGB agent.

Most of us go through life without ever knowing a Commie, or working with one, and certainly without ever meeting a KGB agent under any circumstances.

It's all highly unusual and highly suspicious.

No surprise here.

Won't bother his zombie flock in the least.

>>>....his parents wrote for PM.<<<

Who or what is "PM"?

>>>...takes you directly to one of their fellow writers who regularly had lunch with a KGB agent.<<<

Do you have a name of the "fellow writer" and his relation to O'bama campaign?

I agree O'bama's past is suspicious; I just want to follow the dots.

Frank Marshall Davis, Alinsky, Antonio Gramsci... underlies both the democrats.. Actually those three lie under the entire democrat party..

If you don't know who those people are, what they teach and believe .. You do not know what most democrat officials believe in various degrees..

A little Google research might be in order..
OR remain stupid..

Try Wiki ~ look up Axelrod.

Ever hear of IFStone?

Now we are speaking of some old Bolsheviks here, not your modern Commies entirely.

You wanna' get the gayblades lined up on Obama you check out the current governor of Massachusetts ~

He has more than his fairshare of gay friends including his chief of staff who was arrested for homosexual rape of a 15 year old boy on December 28, 2007.

You just know Obama doesn't want to talk about that relationship ~ Axelrod, his chief writer, does the same work for Deval Patrick, the Mass Governor.

Maybe he's gay too.

The Democrats peddling Obamasama just want to defeat the Hildabeast ~ they can't have looked too much in depth into their candidate's background and associations.

These people are SMARMY

I hope everyone reads this. Alan Keyes really has the dope on Obama. I hope Alan will become an outspoken opponent of Obama, once the presidential campaign commences.

Good one!

Most of us are holding our fire until Obama Osama gets the nomination.

Then all heck will break loose!

Russian class, eh? I think she was more interested in his “equipment”.

Another way Obama resembles Bubba Clinton. Their moms were no angels.
