[Q] - The news of Barack Obama's close relationship with Frank Marshall Davis has been around before, but it's important. Via Accuracy in Media:
[T]hrough Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams >From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just "Frank." The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. Aren't we seeing a pattern here? One interaction with one old communist isn't particularly troubling. A handful of sporadic interactions with a handful of radical left-wingers may not be particularly troubling. But a lifelong pattern of extended associations and alliances with scores of fringe, America-hating radicals is very, very troubling indeed. Just to be clear: It's not just that Barack Obama's father was a Marxist economist or that his mother Stanley came from radical far-left roots. It's not just that Obama's childhood mentor Frank Marshall Davis was a famous communist poet. It's not just that Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor, counselor and spiritual mentor of 20 years is a racist, America-hating radical. It's not just that Michael Phleger, Obama's other spiritual mentor is every bit as extreme as Wright. It's not just that his wife Michelle has never been really that proud of America, or that she thinks this country is "mean". It's not just that Obama refused to wear a flag, or that he refused to salute it during the national anthem. It's not just that Obama's political and financial benefactor William Ayers is an unrepentant radical socialist... - http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/194392.php --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
