Is this the smoking gun?

It will be difficult for the msm to avoid this story. They have played up the Todd Palin membership in a 3rd Party story.

Barrack Obama was, as recently as his first election to the Ill. Senate, a card carrying member of A Socialist Party, called the New Party.

Wow.

Using your google 10 yr trick, a search of Obama returns a link for Senator Barack J Obama.

What gives?

” New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago. “”

He was uncontested! No wonder he won. That’s priceless.

[CriticalJ]

ping.

Too bad he didn’t belong to the Alaska Independent Party or that there was a rumor that he did. The MSM would spend a month trying to tie him to that. Wouldn’t they?

They did with Sarah Palin!

I found this yesterday

http://groups.google.com/group/misc.activism.progressive/browse_thread/thread/ba1628712d11cd55/c42dad511fd7bb35?hl=en&lnk=st&q=obama+#c42dad511fd7bb35

New Party members and supported candidates won 16 of 23 races,
including an at-large race for the Little Rock, Ark., City Council, a seat
on the county board for Little Rock and the school board for Prince
George¹s County, Md. Chicago is sending the first New Party member to
Congress, as Danny Davis, who ran as a Democrat, won an overwhelming 85%
victory.

New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate
seat from Chicago.

******The New Party also helped Carolyn McCarthy***** knock off freshman
Republican Dan Frisa in a closely watched U.S. House seat in Long Island.

And, when you put this in front of the average jackass, they’ll say,

“what’s wrong with socialism?”

Worse - they'll say "What's the big deal if he's social and makes lots of friends?" ;)

[Plutarch]

You don't need the Way Back machine to find when the MSM would breathlessly (and falsely) report that a candidate on the national ticket was a member of a fringe party.

Alaska Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member (NYTIMES ADMITS AIP PALIN STORY FALSE)

Almost makes you think that the Obamanites deliberately spread this story to forestall any mention of Obama's fringe party membership.

Who is this Barack J. Obama? Several archived searches list Obama with this mysterious J. Here’s another:

Here’s another with the J.

Was Obama hiding his middle name back then, or is this simply a typo?

[tiger640]

American Thinker had something about this back in June this year:

I’m not against him because he’s black, but because he’s Red.

Check the link! This is good.

HIGHLIGHTS:

” New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago. “

“Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary).”

“All four candidates attended the NP membership meeting on April 11th to express their gratitude......Barack Obama, victor in the 13th State Senate District, encouraged NPers to join in his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration.”

These two links STRONGLY indicate Barack Obama was indeed a member of the New Party and/or the Democratic Socialist party of America. Most importantly, they are archived web pages from the actual party websites.

Is this an additional reference:

Illinois: The first NP member heads to Congress, as Danny Davis wins an overwhelming 85% victory yesterday (he got a higher percentage of the vote in that district than the President). NP member and State Senate candidate Barack Obama won uncontested. Interestingly, it appears that the local Democratic machine is trying to distance itself from our folks. At a "Democratic Unity" march on Chicago's West Side, a flyer invited community members to join with a host of local democratic candidates. The only two west-side Democrats not listed: NP members Danny Davis (U.S. House candidate) and Michael Chandler (Alderman and Ward Committeeman).

[Columbo]

Now this is interesting...sounds as if it’s saying that Obama was a community organizer for muslims. Any thoughts?

ORGANIZING AND ISLAM

Organizing in neighborhoods has taken two paths that reflect historic dichotomy between integrationist and nationalist strategies. Many top conununity leaders collaborate on urban issues through city’s grasgroots network, forging multi-racial coalitions, while others take black nationalist approach, looking only within the African-American community for leadership and resources.

In first category are Ani Russell of community policing network, 312-461-0444; Jacky Grimshaw, former strategist for Harold Washington now working an community transportation issues; 773-278-4800, ext. 133; and Barack Obama, 773-684-4809, whose work to empower blacks has included his law practice, community organizing, philanthropy and most recently electoral politics: he is a candidate for state senate. A quiet leader with broad vision of empowerment and redevelopment in the Grand Boulevard neighborhood is Sokoni Karanja, 773-373-5700, whose nonprofit Centers for New Horizons provides social services, youth programs, education and child care.

Chicago is national center of black nationalist thought and organization. Head of the nation’s largest secular black-nationalist organization, the National Black United Front, Conrad Worrill, 773-268-5658, is a professor at Northeastern Illinois University’s Center for Inner City Studies and was prominent speaker at last year’s Million Man Man March. Another Northeastern professor, Robert Starks, 773-268-7500, heads local Task Force for Political Empowerment, along with Worrill was major organizer in Harold Washington campaigns. Radio commentator and former newspaper columnist and publisher, Lu Palmer, 773-624-0242, holds forth two nights a week on a WVON-1450AM political talk show. He founded the Black Independent Political Orgization and Chicago Black United Communities. Eddie Read, 773-663-0704, is president of both organizations mentioned above; CBUC members have shut down construction sites where blacks don’t get fair share of jobs. Salim Muwakkil, 773-643-3730, is senior editor of In These Times and contributing columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. He has done extensive coverage of black activism and the black nationalist movement.

Chicago is home base for African-American Muslim organizations. Muslims have been visible forces for organizing and stability in many neighborhoods, only some of them aligned with controversial leader Louis Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam. Organizer Kublai Toure, 773-538-7217, is a member of Jim Brown’s Amer-I-Can youth organization, with projects ranging from helping arrange gang traces to trips to Chicago Cubs baseball Sitines for public housing youth. Mikail Bilal, 773-721-6588, is chek of the Muslim addiction-prevention group Millati Wami, with twice-weekly meetings on South Drexel St. for recovering substance abusers. Abdul Rashid Akbar is the Muslim chaplin at Cook County jail, 773-721-6588, where many incarcerated African-Americans convert to Islam. The Nation of Islam’s contact point for the media and editor-chief of The Final Call newspaper is James Muhammad, 773-602-1230. Ayesha Mustafaa reports on the larger Muslim community as editor of The Muslim Journal, 312-243-7600.
