Why Obama's Red Mentor is News

Barack Obama is still an enigma because a lot of his life has been carefully hidden, as National Review's David Freddoso points out in The Case Against Barack Obama. His campaign is hypersensitive because his life is filled with awkward facts and dubious associations. Obama has declared his personal history out of bounds and scrubbed it clean.  The media are obediently censoring things we need to know. The most obvious example is Obama's adolescent mentor and father figure, Frank Marshall Davis.

Frank Davis was one angry black guy, at a time when the South was still segregated and there was plenty of reason for anger.   Unlike most black people at the time, however -- like the extraordinary families who raised young Clarence Thomas and Condoleezza Rice in the Deep South  -- Davis became a member of the Communist Party and glorified über-tyrant Jozef Stalin in his writing and poetry. This at a time when Stalin was ordering the deaths of tens of millions of people, and indeed enslaved millions of them in the Gulag, in forced communal farms, and in coercive factories all over the Soviet empire. Stalin was a slave-master and mass killer, as any informed person knew at that time.  And Frank Davis must have known. There's a great difference between fighting racial injustice and pursuing racial vengeance, and Davis went for revenge against all of white America.

If you think Rev. Jeremiah Wright is over the top, Frank Davis was like that, just angrier. Senator Obama has long hung around with enraged radicals. Davis was apparently his first. Kids without parents often look desperately for father figures, who can have huge influence over their lives. Such, it appears, was Frank Marshall Davis for a young kid in Honolulu named Barry Obama. Obama's long line of rageful mentors and guides include Bill Ayers the Pentagon bomber, Jeremiah Wright the hate preacher, and Barack Obama Sr., a socialist-communist politician in Kenya,  whose writings and letters still influenced Barack, Jr., even in his physical absence from his son's life.  So we have a series of four radical mentors who shaped Obama's life. Those are just the ones we know about.   

Frank Davis was a US Communist Party member during 1945-1950, when Comrade Stalin got his Bomb, courtesy of hidden  communists like Dr. Klaus Fuchs, who stole the secrets from the Manhattan Project.

Those were the years when Stalin and the Communist Party were a perfect mirror image to Hitler and the Nazi Party in Europe. Thousands of unfortunates fled from the Nazis to the Soviets, or vice versa, and were still killed when they thought they had reached safe haven. Dr. Fuchs and his friends on the murderous Left gave Stalin the Bomb, right when Uncle Joe was ready to use it on his enemies -- Europe and the US --  instead of all those crummy old-fashioned ways of killing people. Some historians believe that Stalin was poisoned by his own henchmen Beria and Khrushchev, for fear that he was going to start a nuclear war. There was a limit to their bloodlust.    

Being a member of the Communist Party was a big deal during those years, and it wasn't all Senator Joe McCarthy's allegations either. Obama's youthful father figure "Frank" certainly moved in interesting circles. 

Frank Davis' membership in the CP-USA is not in question.  It's just an  inconvenient fact that's being covered up by our media. The Associated Press somehow forgot to mention Mr. Davis' fearful associations in its puff piece on him last week.  Communist Party? What Communist Party? I can just hear our media stars whining over their lattes and coke: Does it matter? It was a long time ago! It's not news!

Which is exactly why the media can never be trusted. They have perverse news judgment; making headlines out of the scrapings of the barrel and wiping out all the relevant facts. As George Orwell wrote about the BBC, they are the Ministry of Truth whose real mission is to peddle Official Lies. 

More and more people are sick of getting lied to every day, and the newsies are finally losing their shirts.  Here's hoping they freeze.

The media tell us that the key to journalism is "good news judgment." The pros have it, but the amateurs just can't be trusted, to hide facts the way professionals are trained to do. So is it really news that Senator Obama hung around with America-hating zealots all of his life? Maybe not. Maybe Young Obama was just jivin' his radical mentors, and making them think he agreed with all their political rantin' and ravin'. As they say in Indonesia, that's the easy approach to get along with people -- tell them you agree with their head trips, whatever they are, and they'll love you forever. 

That's what Obama now tells the world about his hot-headed Chicago mentor, the Rev. Jeremiah; he just let the Rev. J think he believed his race-baitin' white-hatin' hollerin' for a thousand Sundays in a row. Actually, Barack and Michelle were just sitting there, yawning and rolling their eyes, and wondering whether the sermon would ever be over. Can we go home now?

Well, at least Obama had a chance to explain away his relationship with the man who brought him to Jesus. Nobody in the media has asked him about Frank Marshall Davis.

What are the odds anyone will ask him before the November election?

If Obama lied to all the Lefties in his life it certainly worked like a charm: The Left boosted his career like a bottle rocket. He is their dream politician. Flaming Reds are still the real base of the Obama campaign. And a lifetime of lying to his friends would certainly explain the Senator's well-honed skill in tailoring the truth. 

So maybe Obama has been lying to his radical buds for all these years. Or maybe not.

We'll find out after he gets elected.

It's all the news you're not fit to know.

Carl Bernstein recently wrote about Hillary Clinton's hard-Left connections in Berkeley, where she worked for a communist  -- pardon me, an ‘activist' -- law firm. So Carl told us the news a couple of months ago, right after Hillary and Bill lost to Obama and it couldn't hurt the Democrats any more; but that relevant fact might have helped us understand the Clintons in 1992. So -- call it sixteen years too late. All the news you're not fit to know. 

Bernstein is himself a bloody diaper baby and knows all about people covering up their political beliefs. When Woodward and Bernstein rose to fame with Watergate, Americans were not told about Bernstein's radical past either. It wasn't news. But a lot of Americans might have thought it was news to them.

As we now know, Editor Ben Bradlee of the Washington Post colluded with FBI Deputy Director Mark Felt to destroy Richard Nixon. Woodward and Bernstein were just the messenger boys. We only found out about that when Mark Felt died; for thirty years the media lied to us about Deep Throat. That's even longer than Carl Bernstein managed to cover up Hillary's radical career.

It's all part of their impeccable professional journalism.

All of which goes to make a simple point: Obama's Red mentor is news.  Obama isn't the Manchurian Candidate -- at least, I don't believe so, not yet. But he has a certain very predictable mind-set that he picked up from his mentors, friends, family, teachers, whatever. That's news -- because the story of Frank Davis goes straight to the heart of every voter's questions:

Who the heck is Senator O?

Can he ever be believed?

Is he competent?

Can he be trusted with his finger on the nuclear trigger?

Or is he just a slick hustler, trying to sucker us?

We don't know the answer, and the media are not going to help us find out.

Just read a Vanity Fair article online via the UK Telegraph, that said Obama's half-brother George is living in a shack in a shantytown in Kenya on less that one dollar a month. The young man is 26 years old, no education or training, no prospects, he was mentioned by Obama in his autobiography - Obama met the boy several years ago on his trip to Kenya.

You'd think a man with Obama's assets would do something to help his impoverished half-brother. I mean, family is family, even if they are far away. Don't just use your family for a photo op for your book and then fly back home and forget them. Such a shame.

Oh...he plans to send money to his brother.

I don't understand why people, even conservatives, are running around saying they don't know the real Obama.

Hell, there's evidence all over the place. His books, his voting history, his wife, his friends.

I know exactly who this guy is and it aint pretty.

Oh so what you are saying is his brother is just as qualified to run for POTUS as he is? :)

This is one of the best articles I’ve ever read about the mainstream news media’s left wing groupthink and intellectual corruption.

Especially this line: “They have perverse news judgment...”

I also believe that the media and the republican party are also ignoring his mother, gmohter and gfather. Refer to the Chicago times article 07 about his family. It let's us in on the so called Kansas values that he has. Well these are the Kansas values he has instilled from his mother. She went to high school at the mercer school which was infiltrated by communist and communist leaning teachers. According to her class mates she embraced the teachings and her parents did not care. When other parents found out about the teachers her parents did not join the protest. Not to mention she claimed to be an atheist along with her parents leaving the mainstream Christian church for a secular humanist church.
The LA times even points out that his mother was friends with Marshall before obamaboy was born. So to me we should be stressing his entire upbringing not just his friends as he got older.

He has been indoctrinated in a socialist/communist mind set from the beginning.

[mrsmel]

This man Obama has a long history of association with and mentoring from those who hate America and want to destroy her, yet we shouldn’t question his “patriotism”? He deep down hates whites and seeks vengeance upon them, yet he is the candidate of “unity”? Obama is the Orwellian candidate, and it’s disturbing that so many are ignoring the information that is right there for anyone to find.

I don't blame him for hiding. If I had a brother like Obamanation, I'd be hiding in some remote location too.

Obama’s Red Mentor Praised Red Army
AIM Report | By Cliff Kincaid | April 30, 2008

Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. “Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.

The “Red Army” poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:

Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!

Obama’s Communist Mentor
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | February 18, 2008

excerpt...

"through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his 'poetry' and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just 'Frank.'

The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. 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."

Frank Chapman, a CPUSA supporter, has written a letter to the party newspaper hailing the Illinois senator's victory in the Iowa caucuses:

"Obama’s victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle. Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through."
People's Weekly World (PWW), official newspaper of the Communist Party, USA

I just put down the book “Obama Nation” to check FreeRepublic and the next section I will read is about Frank Marshall Davis. Thanks for the additional information.

So far the book has told how so much of Obama’s biography is myth. It is infuriating that no one has told the “real” story of Obama. I mainly bought the book because I was mad the way the media was treating Corsi, but the book is really interesting. If he were a Republican there would be so much meat for the media to dig into, but...

Read David Horowitz site “Discover the Networks”. He writes about Obama, Saul Alinsky, et.al. Even Wikipedia has Obama links when you go to Saul Alinsky. Alinsky “community activist” was also the subject of Hillary's thesis, with his input.

Well Buckley once wrote that liberals love the masses but just can’t stand one person. His bro is sort of like the Clinton duo’s lost family members. Unfortunately, many Americans have this ‘lost’ family member or members trial.
