It turns out that Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist. ...In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations. ...Davis, who moved to Honolulu from Kansas in 1948 "at the suggestion of his good friend Paul Robeson," came into contact with Barack Obama and his family and became the young man's mentor, influencing Obama's sense of identity and career moves. Robeson, of course, was the well-known black actor and singer who served as a member of the CPUSA and apologist for the old Soviet Union. Davis had known Robeson from his time in Chicago. ...It was in Chicago that Obama became a "community organizer" and came into contact with more far-left political forces, including the Democratic Socialists of America, which maintains close ties to European socialist groups and parties through the Socialist International (SI), and two former members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), William Ayers and Carl Davidson.
The SDS laid siege to college campuses across America in the 1960s, mostly in order to protest the Vietnam War, and spawned the terrorist Weather Underground organization. Ayers was a member of the terrorist group and turned himself in to authorities in 1981. He is now a college professor and served with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago. Davidson is now a figure in the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, an offshoot of the old Moscow-controlled CPUSA, and helped organize the 2002 rally where Obama came out against the Iraq War.

Bad link.
This is just the beginning. He’s going to get peeled back just like an onion.

That link doesn’t work for me. Wonder if Democrat hackers are bringing the site down??
The website was down. Try it now. It’s back up.
Help me out with all of this Democrat rhetoric...
Is it the “Audacity of Racism”?
Or is it the “Racism Of Change”?
Alinsky, and now this. With all of the failed attempts at communism, how do these people continue to think it is the way to go? Answer: They think are smarter and better than the common man, woman, child and think they need to help us on our own journey. Help us with our day to day lives, because we cannot be left to make our own decisions. Wrong.
Its power, pure and simple. They could care less about the people. Its all about them and their cronies throughout the globe.

Thanks for posting.
Not only that, they think they are smarter than Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, who had absolute control and killed 20 million people in the “experiment” before it ended, and that the same failed system will, “miraculously,” work here.
Bookmarked.
Alinsky quote: “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
BUMP
Highball, here’s some more of that Reagan Optimism for you
Correct. Professing high-minded socialist dogma -- from each according to their ability, to each according to their need -- is nothing more than a way to manipulate the people and gain power over them.
Sometimes I wonder, though, if the left's beliefs aren't more derived from Russian nihilism as opposed to Soviet Communism. They seem to take more pleasure in destroying existing institutions than building or operating new ones.
In his books, Obama admits attending "socialist conferences" and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a "hard-core academic Marxist," which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes.
