Young Obama's Red Mentor----8/6/2008 (written before <I>criticism of ''the one' was allowed)

Election '08: The mainstream media have finally gotten around to revealing Barack Obama's early mentor. But they've downplayed the mystery man's communist background.

IBD Series:(The Audacity Of Socialism)

As noted in the July 29 curtain-raiser to this series, the seeds of Obama's far-left ideology were planted in his formative years as a teenager growing up in Hawaii — and they were far more radical than any biography or media profile has portrayed.

A careful reading of Obama's first memoir, "Dreams From My Father," reveals that his childhood mentor up to the age of 18 — a man he refers to only as "Frank" — was none other than the late communist Frank Marshall Davis, who fled Chicago after the FBI and Congress opened investigations into his "subversive," "un-American activities."

In a belated story on the relationship, the Associated Press describes Davis as "left-leaning."

In fact, Davis was a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, according to the 1953 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities of the Territory of Hawaii, which labeled him "a bitter opponent of capitalism."

Both of Obama's fathers were Communist/Socialist...Obama was also raised in the Islamic faith. His Socialist Grandparents continued his Marxist leanings making him more or less rootless, certainly not someone who loves America...he was learning to hate the very country he now heads, badly...Obama does not like America he likes Communism and see's his life's work is to change a successful nation into a collective non capitalist nation...anyway he can. Congress should stop him now if it is not too late. Did I mention the CPA and other subversive organizations, plus the United Nation, a collection of Dictators and Socialists/Communists give their full support to Obama?

And he's also President of the U-nited States of America! God bless us!

Most likely you're right, but I don't have info on Soetero.

Do you have supporting info/link to background for Obama's 2nd father?

It is altogether possible that FMD is in fact Obozo’s biological father. Not, BHO, Sr. Regardless of what is said in Obozo’s history.

If he is the son of FMD then he is a natural born U.S. Citizen and a natural born lying Commie Bastard.

I'm reading “The Communist” by Paul Kengor now. As you probably know, it is about Frank Marshall Davis.

The number of “coincidences” of Davis’ beliefs matching those of Obama is astounding.

One thing that jumps out is that Davis absolutely hated General Motors and thought they should be taken over by the government. Sound familiar?

I highly recommend this book but be prepared to be disgusted by reading it.

Obama may be a special case, but let’s face it, you would get a similar result with any of the leftist democrats as president. We almost elected Kerry president!

It’s a real problem and I do fault the GOP for not having the guts to point the finger and denounce the whole modern dem party. Which the dems have no problem doing to the GOP.

Just like the Muslims, the rats have no problem destroying each other, in fact bus tire tread marks on your head will get you hired quickly into some alphabet channel news anchor or talk show. The GOP will go to extremes to avoid the discarded by either party.

The media keeps bringing that question back up, but they never tell us who asked the question in the first place, or why.

Funny, I’ve seen some pictures of Baby Barry Momma posing for a pornographer named Frank.

Also not to be missed:

Dreams From My Real Father, a new release DVD by Joel Gilbert and available at www.wnd.com bookstore

Argues that Davis is Obama’s real father and does a fair job tracing the relationship.

If Davis wasn't Obama’s biological father he was surely his ideological father.

I hope everyone who is considering not voting for Mitt reads this book. It is downright scary.
