“For those of you who don’t know, I was actively involved in third-party politics throughout the 1990’s and into the 2000’s. During that time I became familiar with the ‘New Party’ in Arkansas. Back in ‘96, the fledgling ‘fair housing’ New Party had one a city-wide office in Little Rock on the city’s ‘Board of Directors.’ Curious about third-party politics, I paid attention to this, particularly since it was going on in Arkansas where I lived and went to college.
“Well, it appears that at the time, up in the Chicago area, one-time community organizer Barack Obama, by then a state senator, was linked with the New Party which has a decidely grassroots socialist outlook. It’s closely tied to ACORN, the radical group currently being investigated for voter fraud in states across the country. Obama had been involved with ACORN in Illinois. Interesting that ACORN got its start in Little Rock as well.
“Apparently there has been an effort to scrub any reference to Obama’s involvement with the New Party. But investigative bloggers have uncovered some information linking Obama and Sun Myung Moon worshipper Rep. Danny Davis, also of Chicago, to the New Party. “Here’s the link to the archived New Party successes (Note the Illinois list). “And here’s the link to the blogger info.
“And from the Nov. 1996 issue of the Progressive Populist (of which I used to subscribe) [emphasis added]:
New Party members and supported candidates won 16 of 23 races, including an at-large race for the Little Rock, Ark., City Council, a seat on the county board for Little Rock and the school board for Prince George’s County, Md. Chicago is sending the first New Party member to Congress, as Danny Davis, who ran as a Democrat, won an overwhelming 85% victory. New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago.
“Will the lamestream media look into this affiliation, considering they have done that darn tootin’-ist to link Sarah Palin to the Alaska Independence Party? Obama wants a socialist government, not unlike the one his pal Odinga operates in Kenya.”
