Obama's Army
Posted on 06/07/2012 5:02:35 AM PDT by speelurker
Barack Obama was, in fact, a member of the socialist New Party in the 1990s and sought its endorsement for the Illinois senate--contrary to the misrepresentations of Obama's presidential campaign in 2008, and in spite of the efforts of Politico's Ben Smith to quash the story. Stanley Kurtz, author of Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism (2010), has released new "smoking gun" evidence at National Review Online. It is evidence that the mainstream media can no longer ignore--and Obama can no longer deny.
When the story of Obama's association with the New Party first broke in 2008, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt claimed that Obama had never been a member. (LaBolt likewise told the New York Times that Obama had "not spoken by phone or exchanged e-mail messages since Mr. Obama began serving in the United States Senate in January 2005"--a statement that carefully concealed the truth that Obama had spent time in Ayers' home after he began serving in the Senate.) The Obama campaign took up the issue at its "Fight the Smears" website, smearing Kurtz and willfully distorting the truth about Barack Obama's radical past:
Right-wing hatchet man and conspiracy theorist, Stanley Kurtz is pushing a new crackpot smear against Barack falsely claiming he was a member of something called the New Party.But the truth is Barack has been a member of only one political party, the Democratic Party. In all six primary campaigns of his career, Barack has has run as a Democrat. The New Party did support Barack once in 1996, but he was the only candidate on the ballot in his race and never solicited the endorsement.

Kurtz writes:Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.Consistent with this, a roster of the Chicago chapter of the New Party from early 1997 lists Obama as a member, with January 11, 1996, indicated as the date he joined... The revelation in 2008 that Obama had joined an ACORN-controlled, leftist third party could have been damaging indeed, and coming clean about his broader work with ACORN might easily have exposed these New Party ties. Because the work of ACORN and the New Party often intersected with Obama’s other alliances, honesty about his ties to either could have laid bare the entire network of his leftist political partnerships.
Wanna bet?
Want to bet??
It is pretty amazing how the left is so brazen about supporting outright communist agenda items, then in the same breath say the don’t support communism.
They say 0bama is not a socialist, according to definition, because he hasn’t had the government take over the means of production and distribution.
I guess they are right, he’s following the fascist model more closely than the socialist model. He’s using government to CONTROL the means of production and distribution without actually OWNING it.

Obama’s Third-Party History
New documents shed new light on his ties to a leftist party in the 1990s.
By Stanley Kurtz
The Clintons are probably realizing that they’ve waited far too long to make their move.
Absolutely right. That’s what I’ve said, he’s actually a facist according to the definition.
It's time for the MSM to grow a pair and start asking the guy--to his face--the tough questions that all of us want answered. For my two cents, start with: "Mr. President, why have you spent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars to sequester virtually everything about your past?" And when he responds with: "I have not sequestered my records...which he will...then push further and ask him to produce all of his school records from 1st grade forward and all of his health records. Then sit back and see how much information actually comes forward. You don't spend that kind of money hiding your past unless you don't want something found out.
I usually answer “well, yeah, if you want to get technical on the definition, the guy you support is more of a fascist than a socialist.”
In a leftist’s mind, however, they stick with the quote of “fascism is more accurately referred to as corporatism”, implying that corporations and private businesses are corrupting their beloved government, and not the other way around.
I ask them - which one, the government or the corporation, has the legal ability to use force to coerce the other to do its will?
Oh, just noticed your typo :)...
Is a “facist” someone who is discriminatory based on facial appearance?
He's going for owning the people instead. If you are dependent on government programs for your food,lodging, health care, and most every aspect of your life, he owns you.
"Obama a socialist? Many scoff, but claim persists"
If all here that posted that indeed Barry was/is a socialist on their local comment boards of newspapers, etc. and got shot down - please get back in there and post the National Review article link with the snip from Chicago. Many have moved on from that article but please put it there for future reference....Everywhere.
Oh, that's rich! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
I wonder if Rush or Sean will deal with this today?
Surprise
...but we have a “Hulk”
With the evidence that Kurtz has, I would imagine everybody on the right is going to pounce.
Get out the popcorn.
...actually, Man Eats Dog.
Some please insert proper Christie image...?
It could happen. I remember how Kennedy made a very serious last minute, behind the scenes attempt to pry the nomination away from Jimmy Carter way back when — and came pretty close to pulling it off.
The Kennedy wing is now pretty much the Clinton wing and the various potshots Bubba has been taking at the Bamster seem to be indicative that there are undercurrents and pieces in motion aimed at weakening Obama’s hand.
If Obama loses too much support, all bets are off. He’s damaged the Democrat brand so badly already that if the Republican win in November, that’s the last they will see of the White House for the next 12 years — at least.
Fascist, socialist, communist...whatever...Obama is really a d*ckhead............

I’m not so sure. If John McCain was the “presumptive” nominee at this point he would say: “No, my friends, I don’t believe this accusation against the President and I think we just need to stay on issues that are pertinent to this campaign.....yada, yada, yada.” But, then, John McCain really isn’t “on the right” is he? For that we can thank his Liberal wife and slutty daughter, Megan “I wanna be a Liberal Democrat” McCain.

In a world of debt, where the government shows up at the bond window with the lender knowing that the interest rate doesn't cover the inflation - which one calls the shots on what the government regulates and how?
Communism was a creation of some of the richest bankers in Europe. Look at how the manipulators cashed in on the collapse of the Soviet Union. The game is "pump and dump" on a global scale.
Obama is really a d*ckhead

Oh, but since the “fascist” epithet is reserved for conservatives, it REALLY bugs the crap out of liberals when you show that the guy they support is a fascist by definition.
The documents reveal that the New Party’s central aim was to move the United States steadily closer to European social democracy, a goal that Mitt Romney has also attributed to Obama. New Party leaders disdained mainstream Democrats, considering them tools of business, and promised instead to create a partnership between elected officials and local community organizations, with the goal of socializing the American economy to an unprecedented degree.
In fact, O'Reilly many times has openly STATED he can't describe Obama as a socialist. Instead he uses the words "liberal" and "progressive" to identify the president's ideology.
Maybe now with Breitbart's revelation the Bloviator will be able to spit the PROPER description out of his mouth, as painful as it may be.
Last night's Factor should convince even the most fervent Doubting Thomas of O'Reilly's deftly veiled but always steadfast statist leanings. Behind that leprechaun smile, BO'R is closer to Obama's statist/fascist bent than is suspected or comfortable.
He was again on a rant in favor of big government telling us what to eat.....like his demand that the government tell us "the facts" about the "dangers" of wheat. O'Reilly himself has quit eating wheat. He didn't seem fazed at all when it was suggested to him that the wheat farmers might go the way of the tobacco growers if the government steps in with anti-wheat propaganda.
The man is becoming unhinged in many aspects.
I wonder if he's a vegan now. I have no idea of his diet, but he IS starting to look wan and tired.

Of course they can ignore it. There is NO "mainstream media." While the media has a long history of being biased to the left, in 2008 they dropped all pretenses of trying to report facts, and simply became a part of the Obama election campaign. Today what used to be called the "mainstream media" has morphed into the ministry of propaganda.
And Obama can certainly continue to lie. It's one of his greatest talents, being able to look through the teleprompter, into the camera, and lie directly to the public. After all, who are you going to believe? Obama, or your lying eyes?

only the delegates can change the rules.
Obama campaign selected most of the delegates. They are his people.
Clinton’s don’t want the nomination. Hillary would lose.
They want to run against a failed Romney administration in 2016. They cannot do that if Obama is re-elected.
No one of serious thought believes Obama is anything other than a socialist. We all know he grew up on a steady diet of Marx and leftist radicals. It is the job of the media to pretend Obama is a reasoned, moderate, slightly conservative progressive who stands in the center of American politics. They have to pretend that because they know the American people would never accept Obama the communist and fervent devote to liberation politics and the redistribution of Western wealth and property. The media can’t let people see how dangerous Obama really is.
I prefer the simpler
“the only politician that can’t be bought is the one with nothing to sell”
(if anyone knows the source of that quote, I’d appreciate it)
Take away the reasons that businesses have to “play the game”, and there will be no game.
“....only the delegates can change the rules.

Clinton’s don’t want the nomination. Hillary would lose.

They may not have a choice:
As posted on two other FR threads......
“...Obama is becoming pathetic....”
We all know liberalism, or whatever name you want to call it, is a chronic deteriorating mental disease. However in zippy’s case, I think what we’re seeing is him slipping off into complete insanity. I think he’s losing it totally and his handlers are beside themselves with what to do with him. I would not be surprised in the least to see zippy with a total mental breakdown before the election and the DNC run Hitlery in his place.
Honestly, Joel...I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.
So Obama DOES use a Socialist Mop!
Glenn Beck just did, FWIW.
