Will MSM Report on Obama Membership in Socialist New Party?
NewsBusters ^ | October 8, 2008 | P.J. Gladnick

The mainstream media thought that the membership of Todd Palin, who is not a candidate for any office, in the Alaska Independence Party important enough to report in such outlets as the Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, and the New York Times, among others. So now that Barack Obama's membership in the far left New Party has been unearthed, will they report his membership in that Socialist organization?

Proof of Obama's membership in the New Party was discovered by the Politically Drunk On Power blog:

In June sources released information that during his campaign for the State Senate in Illinois, Barack Obama was endorsed by an organization known as the Chicago "New Party". The 'New Party' was a political party established by the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards. The admittedly Socialist Organization experienced a moderate rise in numbers between 1995 and 1999. By 1999, however, the Socialist 'New Party' was essentially defunct after losing a supreme court challenge that ruled the organizations "fusion" reform platform as unconstitutional.

Oct 1995 Chicago New Party Update by Bruce Bentley About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to update members on local activities and to hear appeals for NP support from four potential political candidates. The NP is being very active in organization building and politics. There are 300 members in Chicago. In order to build an organizational and financial base the NP is sponsoring house parties. Locally it has been successful both fiscally and in building a grassroots base. Nationwide it has resulted in 1000 people committed to monthly contributions. The NP’s political strategy is to support progressive candidates in elections only if they have a concrete chance to “win”. This has resulted in a winning ratio of 77 of 110 elections. Candidates must be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP.

So far, the Democrat propaganda machine, also known as the mainstream media, is ignoring this story.

Drudge is ignoring it as well.

>>>This is EXPLOSIVE. Membership in a socialist party plus proof that the Obama campaign was lying about his not having been a member of the New Party.<<<

This is A DUD. The concepts of socialism, communism, and totalitarianism have been so watered down by the media and schools that most Americans either don’t care or see those terms as archiac throwbacks to the McCarthy hearings.

You and I know better, certainly, but I’m talking about most people. The genius of leftist writers screaming “blacklist” for 50 years is that any accusation of leftist intent is viewed by most people as the barking of a toothless dog. Some of us, either by education or experience, understand the immense threat leftwing ideas bring to a society, culture, and government, but we’re nowhere near the majority.

Then there’s the utopian problem.

I’ve been a teacher for 10 years. During that time, I’ve heard two colleagues say these exact words: “Communism is a good idea, but it hasn’t been tried right.” (The colleagues were separated by 2,000 miles and four years, too... spooky.) There are also people out there who view infatuation with socialism and its byproducts as a good thing that all smart young people should dabble in, the same people who fashionably posted that poster of Che Guevara or Mao in their dorm room.

Add to that the sheer mass of people who think all politicans are lying scum, so they don’t care if Obama lies, too.

This news will unleash a collective yawn in the American psyche, which is too bad. This news is like standing on the tracks and mistaking the light of an oncoming train for a bright star on the horizon.

If the MSM can get a guy this flawed elected they can get a ham sandwich elected.

Kudos to Politically Drunk On Power for digging up this information about Obama's membership in the socialist New Party.

The links to the New Party were first posted at FR (of course), in threads exploring the Google 2001 feature.

socialism, communism, and totalitarianism

You're right. Using these words to convince someone of the danger Obama poses is almost a sure way to tune them out. "Oh come on", "I know he's liberal, but a communist?" "What, like Hitler? Gimme a break." It's like there's a complete void of understanding of what these things, that they exist in the here and now, and how they are very effectively and methodically being put into place via the Democrat machine -- and the media.

Of couse the MSM will not report it. It’s up to Sarah to do so, if spineless John will let her!

We need to find out what was in the contract Obama had to sign as a New Party endorsed candidate!

Quote:
About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July.

The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP.

The political entourage included Alderman Michael Chandler, William Delgado, chief of staff for State Rep Miguel del Valle, and spokespersons for State Sen. Alice Palmer, Sonya Sanchez, chief of staff for State Sen. Jesse Garcia, who is running for State Rep in Garcia’s District; and Barack Obama, chief of staff for State Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama is running for Palmer’s vacant seat.

Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

Listen to this Interview of James Simpson, by Sandy Rios, Tuesday 9/30 - WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL
From http://www.culturecampaign.com/culturecorner.aspx

Simpson documents his research in his article, providing Web links. He provides a rough flow chart.

"CHANGE"

Further corroboration on Obama & The Cloward-Piven Strategy:

Obama, Voter Fraud & Mortgage Meltdown, by James H. Walsh, former federal prosecutor.

On Barack Obama's Marxist connections in Chicago

Web Archives Confirm Barack Obama Was Member Of [Marxist] Socialist 'New Party' In 1996

On Alice Palmer, the South Side's Marxist State Senator, Who Hand Picked Barack Obama to Succeed Her

More on Obama's Marxist alliance with Radical Islamists:

Barack Obama campaigning with taxpayers' money for Raila Odinga, Marxist & pro-Islamist, despotic leader in Kenya

Barack Obama & Khalid Al-Mansour (old Black Panther comrade of Ayers & Dohrn and likely of Alice Palmer) who raised funds to get Obama into Harvard

And then there are... Herbert and Marion Sandler, the Pritzkers, and the "loose lips" of Charles Schumer and Harry Reid (and Henry Paulson is not above suspicion, with his control-freak power play and Goldman Sachs cronyism).

Get these articles and pictures out to everyone you know (or anything even more informative that comes up) -- voters, media, officials and staff of both parties, everyone. We have time if we act now.

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

And remember the "Clinton Effect?" The more we found to pile on him, the more The True Believers fought back by refusing to even hear it.
