In a strange development, supporters of Barack Obamas childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, are openly debating the nature and depth of Daviss commitment to the Communist Party and his relationship with the Democratic candidate. The debate has gotten heated.
This unusual debate, which is taking place on Obamas official website, raises the question once again as to why Obama has not been asked by the major media about this relationship. Davis was identified as a Communist Party member by various investigative committees and acknowledged his party membership in a private letter obtained by John Edgar Tidwell, who was sympathetic to Davis and edited his books.
On one side of this debate is somebody claiming to be the son of Davis. On the other side is Alan Maki, a political activist and union organizer with a long history of involvement in left-wing causes. Indeed, Maki confirms that he has been a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and was a communist decades ago when he was in the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).
Although he doesnt support Obama because of his ties to Big Business, Maki wrote a blog on the Obama website stating that he was grateful to Obama for bringing Davis to his attention, and that he, Maki, regarded Davis as his mentor, too. Maki announced establishment of a Frank Marshall Davis Roundtable for Change and invited Obama supporters to join it.

Wow!
hahaaa!
I love it!
Good job. :)
Again, where is Joe McCarthy when we need him?
People are agog at the amount of slavish media bias for the Dems, particulary in this presidential election, such as we've never seen to this degree before. They know Obama is "one of them" to the hilt. The key is, their influence is waning quickly and they know this. Will they be able to install a real marxist before it's too late?
BTW, great graphics on this thread, all the way around. Chilling and humorous at the same time.
lol. That story gave me a "Quint" flashback.
"You got soft hands Mr. Obama. City hands. Been counting money all your life..."
Don’t know. Just ran across this and was stuck by how many ‘goals’ back then have already been accomplished and how Obama’s philosophy just fits right in.
Oh, yeah. Good one.
Oh, yeah. Good one.
Good article. We must keep searching.
I KNOW I saw it.
Thank you Meek!!
Barack O’Commie?
