No Wonder the Post Hid Obama's Red Mentor
American Thinker ^ | 5/16/2019 | Jack Cahill

Posted on 05/18/2019 9:40:43 AM PDT by simpson96

In August 2008, back when it mattered, the Washington Post ran a 10,000-word article by its Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Maraniss titled, “Though Obama Had to Leave to Find Himself, It Is Hawaii That Made His Rise Possible.” For reasons that will soon become clear, Maraniss should have excused himself from this assignment once he discovered the identity of the man in Hawaii who made that rise possible.

Barack Obama referred to this man in his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, as “Frank.” If there was any mystery to Frank’s identity, Gerald Horne, a leftist scholar from the University of Houston, dispelled it in a March 2007 speech. Horne identified “Frank” as “an African-American poet and journalist by the name of Frank Marshall Davis.”

Davis, Horne acknowledged, “was certainly in the orbit of the CP –if not a member.” Horne was pulling his punches. “Here are the facts and they are indisputable,” wrote historian Paul Kengor in his insightful 2012 book, The Communist --Frank Marshall Davis: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mentor. “Frank Marshall Davis was a pro-Soviet, pro-Red China, card-carrying member of Communist Party (CPUSA). His Communist Party card number was 47544.”

As Kengor observed, Obama dedicated 2500 words in Dreams to Davis, who “surfaces repeatedly from start to finish, from Hawaii to Los Angeles to Chicago to Germany to Kenya... from the 1970s to the 1980s to the 1990s.” Indeed, the two were sufficiently close that the young Obama wrote two poems about Davis -- a story I broke in February 2010 -- and Davis appears to have written one poem about Obama. I should add that in addition to being a card-carrying communist, Davis was a bisexual pornographer with at least a fictional taste for sex with minors.

Horne did not deny Davis’s influence; he

When the people are so dumbed down that they cannot recognize evil in their midst, IT hangs around devouring souls. ... And placing degenerates in power positions.

That’s real “Russian collusion” there, obviously.

Marshall was one of many of obama's male lovers. That jug eared queer has had more trysts with men than women and he's been married to 'it' for over 2 decades.

I don't have any idea the type of perversions that obama and moochelle engage in, but none are worth a second thought.

I really hate those two.

This was well known at the time. It didn’t matter. All that mattered was electing a black president.

Identify the network of persons that brought them to prominence,name as many as possible, find the 2nd network ring of persons controlled by the first group.

This network is where to direct animus. Don’t hate, don’t get even, get ahead.

So after the first black president was elected, after we all had the chance to see what a joke he turned out to be, those who elected him had to make excuses for him & tried to brag him up for no good reasons.....and then after that wasn’t bad enough...they turned around & re-elected this guy. No reasonable explanation for that kind of stupidity. Some would have even elected him for a 3rd term if it were possible. How anyone could do that & call themselves “American” is beyond me.

Sometimes I really hate Jack Cashill’s writing style. I think he wrote this in the wake of a bender or hurriedly; his work has been better.

I had to read the whole damned thing to understand why this is being regurgitated:

David Maraniss wrote a book and divulged that his father was a communist while simultaneously exposing a bias which all but expected of the WaPo these days.

Cashill’s convoluted post is worth a read, but it accomplishes nothing except to fill in a few gaps of information in places most no one is looking in the first place.

That stated, I did not know that Frank Marshall Davis’ protégé was Vernon Jarrett...a family name of which everyone here should be familiar.

"How anyone could do that & call themselves “American” is beyond me."

The teachers unions have dumbed everyone down and pushed Socialism.

Frank was more than Obama's mentor. He was his real father.

In his book, “Sex Rebel: Black”, Frank Marshall Davis writes of hanging out in Honolulu parks, the better to meet white couples visiting the islands, “CURIOUS about blacks”.

Yeah, he got into bisexual threesomes.

He also writes about he and his white wife “teaching” a visiting 15 year old about sex, over the course of a week or so.

He wrote that they together TAUGHTER HER very many times.

The FBI was under orders that in case of outbreak of war they were to arrest him immediately.

FMD’s poetry gushed with praise for the marching legions of the Soviets? No, the marching legions of STALIN —FMD named the man with greedy approval.

Frank Marshall Davis has been ignored for over a decade by the fake news industry.

I swear, if Donald Trump had had a mentor with the baggage of FMD, every story about him would mention the fact.

What is normal about Obama..?

1. Mostly raised by a Muslim tranny
2. Commie mentor
3. MOM was legally named STANLEY

NOTHING about that man’s upbringing was normal.
