Obama’s Red Mentor Was a Pervert [& mentored Obama from age 9 to 18]

Covering a sensitive and explosive subject that has been off-limits for the major U.S. media, the London Daily Telegraph is now claiming that Communist Frank Marshall Davis was a strong influence over a young Barack Obama for nine years of his life, rather than just four, and was a sex pervert and pothead. The Telegraph article alleges that Davis was a bisexual engaged in “sordid” sexual activities and had repeated sexual encounters with a 13-year-old girl.

----SNIP----

Based on these sources, AIM had confirmed that Obama’s white grandfather, Stanley Dunham, picked Davis because Obama’s black father had abandoned the family and Dunham thought Obama needed a black father-figure. AIM also confirmed that Davis was Obama’s mentor during the critical years 1975-1979.

Harnden claimed in a preceding article that Obama was introduced to Davis in 1970 when he was only nine years old. This would mean that Davis was an influence over Obama for about nine full years, until Obama was 18 and went off to college.

B.Hussein Obama Jr has surrounded himself with nothing but Racists, Marxist, Communist and Felons.

..and now we find out, a Pedophile!

[Dustbunny]

Frank Marshall Davis is a disgusting hog.

While no one will say it, this does raise the Larry Sinclair issue. If Davis was a chickenhawk, he might have abused Obama.
Abuse victims often act out including drugs and other inappropriate behavior up to, and including similar sexual relationships. A look at the married gay community can illustrate that.
This isn't a slam, it isn't meant to be intolerant either. It is an indication the possibility is there. If it is, then Obama needs counseling. He might be exhibiting at risk behaviors that call into question his ability to hold office.

At one time this would have been immediately tagged with a right wing smear and hate crime, but New Jersey ex governor Greevey proves the point.
Will anyone in the media bring it up? Did Davis abuse other young boys or girls? Will anyone check?

Paging Larry Sinclair.....Please Pick up the courtesy phone, Larry Sinclair....courtesy phone, please.

Asked about this striking omission in his Post article, Maraniss told AIM that “My reporting conclusion was the role of ‘Frank’ had been hyped out of all proportion, both by Obama himself in his book and some others later. He did not play a role in really shaping Obama.”

Um...

How can anyone "hype" all out of proportion an influence on oneself in one's own autobiography? Doesn't that defy all logic?

[griswold3]

Interesting insite into Obama’s psych.
passive/aggressive
Odepus complex
sexual exploitation victim?

The wittle puzzle pieces are fitting in place. What a charmers were Barry's family. I guess you could say that they were clueless at best.

[ConservativeDude]

Absolutely correct. Great post.

I am and have been convinced for a long time that Barack Obama is a homosexual.

A history of abuse by a “mentor” would pretty well explain why he is that way.

Barack Obama, from Dreams from My Father, Three Rivers Press, New York, Revised Edition, 2004, ISBN 1-4000-8277-3, p. 76-7:

"But by the time I met Frank [Frank Marshall Davis] he must have been pushing eighty, with a big, dewlapped face and an ill-kempt gray Afro that made him look like an old, shaggy-maned lion. He would read us his poetry whenever we stopped by his house, sharing whiskey with Gramps out of an emptied jelly jar."

Obama’s Red Mentor Praised Red Army...
[wrote poems glorifying their army and revolution]

Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!

Well, I guess we can conclude his entire book was nothing but hype then, no?

[pissant]

Sounds like the “poetry” readings may have got a tad steamy.

[Yaelle]

Frank is outside all norms of society at the time. He’s a member of the Communist Party during the Cold War. He’s taking drugs, drinking, and writing porn. He’s also having sex with underage girls. He’s also bisexual.

And now Obama’s grandparents introduce him to their young grandson.

Obama writes about how he goes late at night to visit the man as a teen, and they smoke and drink, and Frank disses Gramps in front of Obama.

What are we to THINK happened to the young Obama during the many hours he spent alone with Frank? What would ANYONE knowing the above think?

[MrB]

One study that will never be allowed to be done:

Percentage of adult gays, compared to the general population, that were sexually abused as children.

[Yaelle]

< smile. >

But seriously, because I am a Mommy, for the first time I really feel sorry for the little guy that he was.

His parents ditched him and his grandparents hand-delivered him to the most wrong place.

I don’t know if you’ve ever known any of the SNAP men (abused by priests as boys) but they are sometimes around my/Obama’s age when they finally work through what the abuse did to them and their lives. Sad sad sad.

"How can anyone "hype" all out of proportion an influence on oneself in one's own autobiography? Doesn't that defy all logic?"

Yeah, that's the ticket -- Obambi fabricated the important influence of "Frank" when writing the memoir b/c...... well Obambi just wanted to make up an important "father figure" for his teenage years!!! First, as you say, it seems pretty ridiculous that anyone would concoct such a relationship and hype it "out of all proportion" .... other things, yes, but not your "older mentor" who was so important to you in your teenage years. Why make that up?

2nd, if Maraniss IS correct that Obambi has hyped this relationship "out of all proportion" then what does THAT say about Obambi? Maraniss is claiming that Obambi largely fabricated a key relationship described in HIS OWN MEMOIR. Lying to your own memoir for the public, that's even better than that Clintonista aide who claimed to have lied to his own diary...... It's lose/lose, either way, for our boy wonder......

You are who your friends are.

EVERYTHING Obama says or thinks can be traced back to his friends/wife.

[Defiant]

Looks like Barry’s grandpa hooked him up with a commie as a role model. Stan Dunham screwed up his daughter and then had to do it to another generation, and now his legacy will be to try to foist his off the wall views on America through a grandson.

[Stentor]

What are we to THINK happened to the young Obama during the many hours he spent alone with Frank?

A criminal always leaves clues. Barry turned out to be a big time clue. On this one, I feel sorry for Obama. That doesn't make him Presidential material.
