Contextless in Obama’s America

From the New York Daily "News":

Trying to explain his controversial comments that President Obama doesn't love America, Rudy Giuliani said Friday that he believes the President has been influenced by communism and socialism.

"Look, this man was brought up basically in a white family, so whatever he learned or didn't learn, I attribute this more to the influence of communism and socialism" than to his race, Giuliani told the Daily News.

"I don't (see) this President as being particularly a product of African-American society or something like that. He isn't," the former mayor added. "Logically, think about his background... The ideas that are troubling me and are leading to this come from communists with whom he associated when he was 9 years old" through family connections.

When Obama was 9, he was living in Indonesia with his mother and his stepfather. Giuliani said he was referencing Obama's grandfather having introduced him to Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party. ...

Barry, meet Frank -- and that's it? Hardly. Contra the NYDN's simplistic dismissal of Giuliani's statement (When Obama was 9 he was living in Indonesia  ... yuk, yuk, yuk), Frank Marshall Davis biographer Paul Kengor describes Davis as Barack Obama's "mentor."

As Kengor writes, Davis was a hard-core Communist so revolutionary that the FBI placed him on a list to be arrested as a security threat in case of war with the USSR.

Davis worked with another hardcore Communist of the Soviet kind named David Canter, who mentored Obama political mastermind David Axelrod. (Canter, by the way, a paid Soviet agent who disseminated Soviet propaganda, provided essential support during the Chicago 1968 Democratic Convention to Ramparts magazine, listed in a Congressional investigation as one of 82 "Old Left" and "New Left" groups and publications that fomented mayhem and violence at the convention.) 

Davis also worked in Communist fronts with another leftist, Robert Taylor, who was top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett's grandfather.

Davis also worked closely with Vernon Jarrett, Valerie Jarrett's father-in-law.

This is just a schematic rendering of the hard Left cadre that the 44th POTUS and his closest aides emerged from -- and which hardly any of the American media, and virtually no American politicians have ever told the American people about. Sarah Palin tried to sound the alarm about radicals in Obama's past, but was quickly marginalized, including by her running mate. All of their lips were sealed, or their heads were empty. Either way, they failed as professionals, also as patriots, by not making this common knowledge. (Don't even get me started on their failure to address Obama's phony i.d., which should have disqualified him, if not sent him to jail, long ago.)

Remember when a question from "Joe the Plumber" in 2008 prompted presidential candidate Obama to drop the "post-partisan" mask and show what sure sounded like his inner socialist with his talk of the importance of spreading the wealth around? Charles Krauthammer's reaction was typical --"Since the word 'socialism' has reared its ugly head," he said on Fox News, "let's dispose of it." End of discussion. And he's supposed to be a conservative.

There is much more to the political incubator of Communists, Marxists, Maoists, socialists that hatched Obama than Guiliani's brief comments convey. These comments are "news," however, because they enter into virgin territory previously unsullied by facts. There is no context for what Giuliani is saying. For example, it should be common knowledge that Obama began his political career running as both a Democrat and socialist New Party candidate, but it's not. Thus, Giuliani encounters a firewall of outrage and incredulity that will all but certainly make this essential subject once again too hot to handle.

Bravo to Mr. Mayor for hanging on. He has everything to gain, and absolutely nothing to lose -- except the esteem of the Obama Left and its organs, such as the New York Times, which reports -- no, admonishes:

His remarks this week mostly drew derision and outrage [from people like us], and seemed to further distance Mr. Giuliani from the heroic, above-the-fray image he carefully burnished [was it fake all along? Rudy, we hardly knew ye] after the Sept. 11 attacks, aligning him more squarely with the hard right of the Republican Party [read: the dread Tea Party!] than at any other time in his career [i.e., Rudy, you'll pay for this].

What next? Rudy needs help from his political peers. Now. Without it, without confidently unequivocal corroboration of the facts, history tells us the conspiracy of silence will endure. This is the tragic story of our past, a series of Big Lies, which, as I unwrap it in American Betrayal, takes shape when facts, context about Communism and the Soviet Union generally, also evidence of Soviet penetration of the federal government specifically, and more recently facts, context, facts about Islam, are successfully suppressed. For the conspirators of silence, it is the truth-vaccum that must be saved -- not the Republic.

Giuliani, however, is an epic figure going back to 9/11. Will silence once again hold sway? Alas, I fear  it will. Then again, it is hard to recall more fuss over the blooming obvious since Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union an "evil empire."
