Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days
Barack Obama shrugs off charges of socialism, but noted in his own memoir that he carefully chose Marxist professors as friends in college.

And remember the fact that when running for state senate, Obama ran jointly as a Democrat, and as a member of the socialist “New Party” (something which is no longer legal).

    These professors are just guys in his neighborhood.




  2. Bruce Says:

    Yes, Jaeson, they’re all just people in the same neighborhood…

    One really, really activist neighborhood.

    Like an extended family, they are. (Yes, that IS Michelle Obama lunching with Mother Khadijah Farrakhan)

    Mrs. Farrakhan is just a gal in Michelle’s neighborhood.

    They weren’t “lunching” together. They were pictured together with other black women at a women’s conference. To me, that’s showing solidarity to other black women.

    Several statments from Obama’s memoirs have been used entirely out of context on the site. Memoirs serve as perspective for how someone has grown. If we held every politician presently accountable for their past endeavors, we wouldn’t have a president. W. was a hard partying, drunken flunky. McCain was a horny, tempermental, hard partying, plane crashing flunky. Reagan was a B movie actor. The past isn’t always prologue to the future.

    They were pictured together with other white women at a women’s conference. To me, that’s showing solidarity to other white women.

    “If we held every politician presently accountable for their past endeavors, we wouldn’t have a president. W. was a hard partying, drunken flunky.”

    Didn’t he graduate from Harvard and Yale? Didn’t he get better grades than John Kerry? Oh, and a hard partying college kid… the horror.

    “McCain was a horny, tempermental, hard partying, plane crashing flunky.”

    A horny fighter pilot? Tempermental? I don’t want anyone who went to war, or might go to war, to party hard. I guess you can’t crash a fighter plane if you never put yourself in a position to fly a fighter plane in a combat zone.

    “Reagan was a B movie actor.”

    Ok.

    “The past isn’t always prologue to the future.”

    But it usually gives some insight, unless you try to re-wright it.

    These things can hardly be compared to belonging to the socialist New Party, and consistently surrounding himself with radical Marxists and domestic terrorists, stating that the Consitution is flawed when his first act as President would be to swear to uphold it, that spreading the wealth is good for everyone, that redistributionist change is desirable, and on, and on, and on.

    The past isn’t always prologue to the future.

    By your logic or lack thereof, all job interviews are unnecessary because a person’s background doesn’t matter. Hogwash.




  9. meepos Says:

    “Didn’t he get better grades than John Kerry?”

    No. Their grades were virtually identical.

    At Harvard, Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude, which is awarded to the top 10% of graduating Harvard Law students.

    Bush went to Yale because of nepotism. McCain didn’t get expelled from the Navy because of nepotism.

    “I guess you can’t crash a fighter plane if you never put yourself in a position to fly a fighter plane in a combat zone.”

    These crashes did not all occur during combat.




  10. meepos Says:

    First of all, I didn’t say the past is NEVER prologue, I said it isn’t always.

    Job interviews are very useful tools to vet a potential employee. If the debates were “interviews” I would certainly “hire” Barack Obama. McCain came off as a testy, ill-tempered, angry old man.

    “and consistently surrounding himself with radical Marxists and domestic terrorists”

    Obama was intrigued by social and political activism in his college years. Why should it be surprising that he associated with other social and political activists and groups? He’s not “surrounding” himself with “radical” Marxists and terrorists; Neo-Con bloggers and radio hosts are trying, desperately, to find any iota of a link between Obama and Marxists, Socialists, terrorists, etc. We live in a country who’s system of government wouldn’t allow any “radical” to be elected president. The two party system ensures that true “radicals” remain the exception, not the rule.




  11. Don Says:

    Unless you’re naive. Obama could end the Democratic Party as we know it.

    “Unless you’re naive. Obama could end the Democratic Party as we know it.”

    Kinda like how Bush destroyed the Republican party, huh? Or how McCain would be an extension of Bush and continue to destroy the Republicans?

    And how would Obama “end” the Democratic Party as “we” know it. Cause, it seems to me, that you have a ton of misconceptions about what the Democratic Party is and what it does.
