Another one of Obama’s America-hating communist “mentors”, in this case, the main one. More information the MSM will supress.

Claims that Obama is or was a communist will have no effect on the left. Proof that Obama is or was a communist will have no effect on the left. Not that everyone on the left is a communist, but they truly don't understand why it matters. For as Whittaker Chambers explained, so long ago:
At the basic point of the revolution the shift of power from business to government the two kinds of revolutionists were at one; and they shared many other views and hopes. Thus men who sincerely abhorred the word Communism, in the pursuit of common ends found that they were unable to distinguish Communists from themselves, except that it was the Communists who were likely to be most forthright and most dedicated in the common cause. For men who could not see that what they firmly believed was liberalism added up to socialism could scarcely be expected to see what added up to Communism. Any charge of Communism enraged them precisely because they could not grasp the differences between themselves and those against whom it was made.

Just a note that Mark Davis, the son of Frank Marshall Davis, has weighed in with a comment on the original article to the effect that neither Obama or Stanley Dunham were aware of Davis's CPUSA past or current ties. He also claims that FMD could in no way be considered Obama's mentor.

Well, I guess that settles it! /s
