Giuliani: Obama influenced by communists since youth
NY POST ^ | February 21, 2015 | Carl Campanile and Geoff Earle

Posted on 02/21/2015 6:46:18 AM PST by COUNTrecount

Rudy Giuliani doubled down on his claims that President Obama doesn’t “love America” in an interview with The Post Friday — claiming the commander-in-chief has been influenced by communists since his youth.

“From the time he was 9 years old, he was influenced by Frank Marshall Davis, who was a communist,” Giuliani said. The ex-mayor added that Obama’s grandfather introduced him to Davis, a writer and labor activist.

Giuliani also said another bad influence on Obama was Saul Alinsky, a community organizer whom the ex-mayor called a “socialist.”

The man once called “America’s mayor’’ also sharply criticized the president for having been a member of a church led by radical Chicago Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

“He spent 17 years in the church of Jeremiah Wright, and this is the guy who said ‘God damn America, not God bless America,’ ’’ Giuliani said.

“Obama never left that church.”

Giuliani said Obama doesn’t measure up to past presidents.

“He doesn’t talk about America the way John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan did, about America’s greatness and exceptionalism,” said Giuliani.

“He was educated by people who were critics of the US. And he has not been able to overcome those influences.”

Giuliani also implied he was the only one with the chutzpah to call out Obama, saying: “Somebody has to raise these issues with the president. Somebody has to have the courage to stand up.”

Go tell it on the mountain, brother. Go tell it loud, tell it proud. Shout and stomp so hard it is felt as at Jericho.

Careful Rudy. You’ll be put on trial like Ms. Bardot if you’re not careful. Telling the truth just may become a capital offense.

Good on you, Rudy!

President Obama is anti-American. It’s as plain as can be, but sadly, Rudy Giuliani is one of only a handful of well known politicians willing to state the obvious.

One doesn’t want to “fundamentally transform” what one loves. Obama hates America!

Everyone in the MSM knew. Every one.

And not one exposed the scam upon the American people. Ever.

Why didn’t the author of that anti-Obama book, “Dreams From My Father”, get the same treatment as Rudy? After all, everything Rudy said can be found in that book.

Go further and faster. Tell it all.

Expose every one of them. Their commie roots are deep.

David Axelrod’s father, Joseph, was a card-carrying communist. He’s listed as a member of the Communist Party for the 1936 general election.

Unfortunately, for anybody under 30 or maybe 40 communism is just another “lifestyle” and who are WE to judge others? Besides, DWTS is on.

SIX YEARS after he takes office this is being openly discussed?

Already we are hearing from Scott Walker’s teachers from junior high.

Gee, I hope this doesn’t lead to an anti-Rudy backlash.

The American people have also been influenced by communists through their “mainstream media”, as they call it.

That Barry Soetoro was raised as a communist is not debatable by anyone who has honestly looked into his past.
His mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, Chicago communist transplanted to Hawaii, friend of the father of his right hand advisor Valerie Jarret.
He says in his books he sought out the marxist professorsin school.

Only those who wish to delude themselves cannot see the truth.

- Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

- Put simply, what I'd like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everybody.

Obama has been exposed to evil all his life and acts that way, every day.

Now you see, herein lies the problem. The self-centered, lazy, no-good, cheating moonbat voters in this country think communism is a GOOD thing. 30 years ago...not so much.
