Its natural to be skeptical of excessive claims about Obamas radical associations...there are so many. But one bears attention because it helped him get his start in politics. In 1996, he won an Illinois state senate seat on a fusion ticket of the Democratic Party and leftist group called the New Party.
The New Party with 7,000 members at its peak, had been an explicitly anti-capitalist party of ex-Communists, socialists and activists from ACORN, the hard-left group thats constantly in trouble over voter fraud. The New Party didnt ask for Obamas association; he asked for the New Partys endorsement.
Blogger Rick Moran has found disturbing particulars. First, the New Party didnt give its support and campaign volunteers to just anyone. Obama actually had to audition for it.
About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to to hear appeals for NP support
Anyone wanting a New Party endorsement had to be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP
So Obama signed on with this group and now remains in its debt.
That raises questions about what was in the New Party platform that drew in Obama. Maybe its own statements saying it was formed to break the stranglehold that corporate money and corporate media have over the political process.
Sound familiar? One of the few things Obama reveals in his vague change agenda are plans to punish corporations. He rails against corporate profits and even worked in a condemnation of them in his first defense of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. So theres little doubt he shares a lot of what the New Party believes.

I can’t bring up the full article. I think this needs to be dispersed. I think this is huge.
Can the full article be posted?
Finishing out the article:
“The New Party also has advocated a bill of rights for children, a shorter work week, a universal “social” wage and military spending cuts. These will undermine parental rights, lower competitiveness, lard up welfare and make the U.S. less secure. All are echoed in Obama’s proposals. They are the hardest battle cries of the left.
Obama should come clean on why he sought these radicals’ support and, better still, disclose just how he intends to pay them back.”
This editorial is very damning of Baraq Hussein. This New Party stuff is sinister.
[This fellow is the far left Manchurian candidate. No one has really addressed who he is and what he believes except for a few bloggers and editorials. ]
Never fear, I believe we are going to know more about Obama-commie than we care to.
I am encouraged by (of all things) the AOL straw poll, which with over 300,000 votes shows McCain ahead 55 to 45%. AOL polls are notoriously left slanted by its microculture.
And this is before all the info about Obama being a reincarnation of Bobby Seal and Huey P. Newton of the Black Panther Party surfaces.
I think we are talking major blowout.

NOBAMA!....
If anyone asks....
I will tell you how I REALLY feel...
Have a great day!
I wonder if O Reilly or someone else who is truly “looking out for us” will push Obama on this and also on the statements he’s made regarding raising taxes...against drilling...etc. This guy is an empty suit plain and simple...
I hope you are right, but there are people who I would exepect to be more reasonable that are still supporting Obama. Can someone explain to me what is in it for the LSM and people like George Soros? Do they have “deals” with them where they are exempt from all the new taxes?
I fear that, unless another “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth” type organization gets into gear and publishes “Unfit for Command: Part II,” the truth may never be revealed beyond a few editorials in IBD, WSJ, Washington Times, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and Boston Herald. It’s critical that this information become widespread knowledge. And there is no way that McCain will do it.
BHO was a social-activist lawyer... the cause was instilled in him at an early age. If elected, this Trotskyite will make Carter look like a moderate.
Ping, write to the author of this article at Investors Business Daily and tell him what you told me. :-)
about such terms to descibe Omama
The truth will set us free....
Obama is a socialist like his father, who he idolizes.
Obama epitomizes the far left crowd in America.
Somebody find a copy of that contract he signed!
A true Red Diaper Baby.
