This time we find that the Obama campaign's official blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, has spent time in France participating in labor riots, has written for a socialist magazine, hung a communist flag in his home, and was a fan of Marx while at Harvard.
What we know for sure is that in May of 2006, Sam Graham-Felsen wrote a short piece in the socialist magazine Socialist Viewpoint describing his participation in some French labor riots.
Then, back in 2003, Graham-Felsen also wrote a piece for the Harvard Crimson praising Noam Chomsky, known for blaming the United States instead of the terrorists for the attacks on 9/11, and advising him to "tone it down" in order to fool people enough to get his anti-American message out.
Graham-Felson praised Chomsky for having "taken on (what he perceives as) the ultimate bully -- the United States," and gives Noam some unsolicited Graham-Felson advice.
Unfortunately, Chomsky continues to squander this potential by making decisions that destroy his credibility in the eyes of most Americans. In perhaps his most infamous move, on the day after the Sept. 11 attacks, Chomsky stated: The terrorist attacks were major atrocities. In scale they may not reach the level of many others, for example, Clintons bombing of the Sudan with no credible pretext, destroying half its pharmaceutical supplies and killing unknown numbers of people. As a result of his poor timing and unwillingness to moderate his tone, his message was lost to anyone not already on the extreme Left. He sounded callous and dogmatic; instead of provoking change, he provoked disgust.
Yet, even if he is waiting for Americans to rise up in mass movements, hes not going to spark widespread protest unless he can get more people to embrace his message. And if he wants to convince Americans, hes simply got to tone it down.
Also in the Harvard Crimson in 2003, Sam Graham-Felson is noted for having hung a communist flag in his dorm room.
Behind the bar, in the corner, hangs a Communist Party flag that Sam and Kieran bought on their trip to Russia the summer after sophomore year.
What cannot be ignored is that this is yet another close Obama associate who seems to hate what most Americans love. Barack's wife could never be "proud of America" until her husband ran for president. His "spiritual advisor" wanted God to "damn America." Barack launched his Senate bid in the home of a man that belonged to the Weather Underground, a radical, anti-American group that is responsible for murder. And these are just a few of the Obama associates that seem to hate what makes America great.
So, why does the Obama campaign surround itself with people like this, people who hold views that most Americans despise? And why is the media not looking into every Obama associate out there? Why does it take the Internet and bloggers to do this reporter's leg work?
Your guess is as good as mine. But the whole thing reminds me of an old saying: you lie down with dogs and you wake up with fleas.
The sort of people that Barack Obama surrounds himself with does say something about the character of the "candidate of change." It makes one wonder what sort of "change" Obama is interested in, anyway
Everybody and their cucumber patch can have a blog.
It this man is elected, this may be perceived by the far left/communists as their one chance to radically alter the shape and nature of this nation.
He must not be elected.
I think it’s fair to observe that if Barack Obama were applying for any sensitive job with the Federal government, he would be unable to obtain a security clearance due to his many unsavory associates. Of course the voters have the right to elect Obama President if they want to, but let’s hope they do not do so.
It'd be a waste of time. 'Cause nothing sticks to the "magic negro."
Welcome to FR.
And this surprises you how?
"One chance"? Hardly, they've had lots of chances, and blown them all. America not only survives their attempts to subvert freedom, she comes back stronger. I fear for the temporary distress, but not for the long-term stability, of this Great Nation.
Besides, while the President is America's spokesman, he is not America's king, or dictator. He can make something of a mess, but he can be -- and after 4 or 8 years will be -- taken out of office. Sooner if he's impeached and convicted, which he will be if he tries anything too radical.
I don't look forward to an Obama administration, but America will survive one if it occurs. Have a little more faith in the resiliency of the Republic. ;-)
We need to make being a Communist illegal, and being a Democrat too.
I do! Too bad she was incapacitated in 1865 and administered a lethal injection with the 14th Amendment.
Is there a diffrence!!!!
There's only something like 15,000 of 'em (CPUSA) anyway, why not just invite them all to a big party and serve spiked kool-aid?
> ... and being a Democrat too.
I dunno, those one-party elections are SO-O-O-O boring.
I hope you're right, but what worries me about this point in time is we have an entire generation of young people who have been taught to viscerally hate this country and that they are without hope and a God. Dangerously susceptible to Obama's big pretty hot air balloon, here to take them to the world of "Change." Never mind that he won't tell them yet what changes he has in mind for America.
How many examples do you want?
I hope that this gets extensive air play and proves to be the proverbial straw.

The Art of Politics ["Obey Obama"]
Shepard Fairey, the artist who designed the official fund-raising set of Obama posters, like this one:
has a company that produces his own artwork, such as these:
See Fairey's website: http://www.thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints
Get this to Sean Hannity.
Obama. Supporter. Communist.
Yea, like that’s a surprise.
“Why does it take the Internet and bloggers to do this reporter’s leg work?”
Could it be that the reporters also have a communist flag nailed to their walls?
