Obama Was Confirmed Member of Socialist “New” Party, the Media Ignore

What should be front page news informing and warning Americans is going entirely unnoticed by the MSM. It couldn’t be any more obvious the media are in the tank for Obama.

In “Something New Here,” I laid out Barack Obama’s ties to the far-left New Party. Blogger Trevor Loudon, of New Zeal, did the pioneering work on this issue. Today, Loudon has posted good quality scans of New Party documents and pictures confirming Obama’s membership. We’ve seen most of this information before (although only recently), but never so clearly.

With all its lengthy background pieces, has the New York Times ever noted that Barack Obama was endorsed by, and was a member of, the New Party? What about the Washington Post? Has any major television network, any national news magazine, or any major daily newspaper ever mentioned that Barack Obama was endorsed by, or was a member of, the New Party? If any such outlet has ever mentioned that fact, have they ever gone on to explain in any depth exactly what the New Party was? For example, have they laid out the extremely close ties between the New Party in Chicago and ACORN? Especially with issue of Obama’s ties to ACORN so much in the news, isn’t this a major story right now?

Has any major television network, any national news magazine, or any major daily newspaper ever mentioned Barack Obama’s membership in, or endorsement by, the New Party, and then gone on to explore and explain what the New Party was, including its ties to ACORN? Isn’t the membership of a major party nominee and currently favored candidate to become president of the United States in a third party a major news story? Is it not the height of press irresponsibility to ignore this fact?

All I know Is I'm watching Fox...and Heather Higgins (Idependent Womens ) is HOT. WHAT A FREAKING MIND!

Since McCain is going to retire after four years: Palin-Higgins 2012

“What the hell has happened to Fred Barnes and Charles Krauthammer? It seems like they never have anything negative to say about Nobama and it’s like they are expecting McCain to lose. I can’t stand the Fox “All Stars” anymore.”

This used to be my favorite thing on TV and now I think I’m going to swear it off till after the election, because listening to them leaves me feeling completely hopeless. I remember back to election night 2004 and how Fred, etc., was basically calling it for Kerry, and remind myself how little they really know.

Unfortunately, this is one of those things no one cares about. We must find another way to get him.

That quote is well documented and quite famous.

Here is one of many places you can find it...

It appears so, slick. Socialist politics: bust. Phony birth cert.: bust. Terrorst connections: bust. (Close) black nationalist associations: semi-bust, but now stale. The well is dry.

One thing to remember, though, is that the New Party had a goal of getting its members elected as democrats. This appeared to be a purposeful strategy to ride the coattails of "normal" (I use this term loosely) democrats into power. Sort of like a, "we will overthrow you from within," mentality.

So true, push the new 'normal'! And how effective it was. Really so very effective, and relatively fast, too. And talk about an 'old boys network', I mean they complained about conservatives but did what they complained about, all wink-wink nudge-nudge, propped each other up and supported their 'new' farther left ideals.

How many dems were fooled or complacent? They weren't really that gullible or complacent, or were they? I think of so-called 'old time' dems, like my state's (PA) former governor, the late Bob Casey Sr., what a stand up guy. And what an empty suit his son is thus far. It just happened that fast. Kinda scary.

Grrr...There must be something...

[Red Steel]

including (Barnes and Krauthammer) scoffed at the idea of Obama being a socialist.

They know damn well Obama is an extreme socialist. They just won't say it for whatever reason.

[NewLand]

Here is the link with the actual articles and pictures that document the story ...Obama is a socialist! Officially!

It just happened that fast. Kinda scary.

You are absolutely correct. My mother was democrat when she was young. She is smart enough to vote Republican today, and has for severa decades. Whenever we talk politics, I can sense the anger in her voice about what the democratic party has become. I have to remind her that the party left her and not vice versa.

[mlocher]

Thanks very much!

Yeah, I hate to be right on that, and I know more of us are noticing, too.

Your mom has made the better choice, the dems 'left' a lot of people. Sad to think so many are fooled by the socialists disguised as democrats, I see a lot of people still fiercely defend the party, but claim to hate socialism. It is disappointing. My mom was a dem early on, too. She was very political, even when I was not so much. She made the switch after Kennedy at some point. My experiences as a young child with dems in her hometown and the town we lived in turned me off to their party, and politics in general, I registered at first as an Independent. I remember hearing the anger, and the disgust, in her voice.

He was a member of the Democratic Socialist Party in Chicago as well. Also not mentioned ANYWHERE (though Google has plenty of info).

I agree with you again! It seems like party alliances are thicker than issues. I am in a debate with a 20 something at my wife's work about who to vote for. She is being pulled in several directions. I try not to pull to hard, but rather supply information about who she is, what she values and the values of the candidates. She has said she is a die-hard democrat, but is almost certain to not vote for Obama now. Her problem is that the democrats have turned her off of Republicans. It's a very emotional thing for her. Her family is also very divided, and it seems like the Republican side of the family has really gotten on her nerves. (I guess if she votes for Ralph Nader, I will take half a kudo!)
