Obama's Red Roots

IBD ^ | June 17, 2008

Election '08: The word is that Barack Obama is a mainstream politician who sometimes attracts fringe leftists. The record tells a different story — that he has sought out radicals. What does that say of his agenda?

---

It's natural to be skeptical of excessive claims about Obama's radical associations. After all, there are so many. But one bears attention — because it helped him get his start in politics. In 1996, he won an Illinois state senate seat on a "fusion" ticket of the Democratic Party and leftist group called the "New Party."

The New Party, founded in 1992 with 7,000 members at its peak, had been an explicitly anti-capitalist party of ex-Communists, socialists and activists from ACORN, the hard-left group that's constantly in trouble over voter fraud. The New Party didn't ask for Obama's association; he asked for the New Party's endorsement.

Blogger Rick Moran of the American Thinker has found disturbing particulars. First, the New Party didn't give its support and campaign volunteers to just anyone. Obama actually had to audition for it. According to a September-October 1995 update on the New Party-aligned Chicago Democratic Socialists of America Web site:

"About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to . . . to hear appeals for NP support from four potential political candidates."

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Red roots Both India and the American Indians reject any and all claims that Obama has ties to their associated groups.

”The word is that Barack Obama is a mainstream politician who sometimes attracts fringe leftists.”

Isn’t that what magnets are supposed to do?

I am not voting for Obama because I am a racist.

I won’t vote for any man who is Red.

The record tells a different story

You got some kind of problem there troop? You can't read past the first sentence? And BTW what's this sh*t about "magnets?" I bet you were a real thrill to have around as a FNG in the AO.

The New Party was only in existence from 1992 to 1998 although it still has a website..It was done in by a SCOTUS decision affirming the two party system in the United States in ‘Timmons vs Twin Cities Area New Party’, 1997..It was an attempt to be a third party fusion for labor unions and community oprganizing groups-such as ACORN which Obama was associated with in Chicago..Although the party is defunct, one wonders what role it played in shaping Obama’s political thinking, and what his other ties to leftist groups are...He is definitely not in the mainstream of American politics...For more on this, see the Wikipedia article here:

Chill out Buzzard before you hurt yourself.

“one wonders what role it played in shaping Obama’s political thinking, and what his other ties to leftist groups are.”

I think most people know the answer to that...

The problem is the Obamaniacs don’t give a rat’s rear. He’s their messiah.

”You got some kind of problem there troop? You can't read past the first sentence? And BTW what's this sh*t about "magnets?" I bet you were a real thrill to have around as a FNG in the AO".

Know what Buzzard, the more I think about your post the more pissed-off I become.

”You got some kind of problem there troop?” Obviously you read my bio and know that I was a Navy Chief Petty Officer, not a “troop” (very condescending).

You can’t read the first sentence? And BTW what’s this sh*it about “magnets”? Yes I can; and so what if Obama is attracted by liberals or liberals are attracted by Obama; what’s the difference?

And the worst cut of all; I bet you were a real thrill to have around as a FNG in the AO. How the hell would you know anything about being a F—k’n New Guy in any AO?

You say you’re a conservative and I say I’m one as well. What exactly are our differences, doc?
