After allegations surfaced in early summer over the 'New Party's' endorsement of Obama, the Obama campaign along with the remnants of the New Party and Democratic Socialists of America claimed that Obama was never a member of either organization. The DSA and 'New Party' then systematically attempted to cover up any ties between Obama and the Socialist Organizations. However, it now appears that Barack Obama was indeed a certified and acknowledged member of the DSA's New Party.

ACORN : A RESILIENT NUT
New York Post (NY) - March 2, 2001
EXCERPT
In recent years, ACORN has forged a strong alliance with an even more extreme outfit, the New Party , which has achieved a major position of influence within the U.S. labor movement - thanks to AFL-CIO head John Sweeney, who has encourage its involvement.
The New Party , which shares offices and phone lines with ACORN , believes that “democracy in America does not work today,” adding that “the social, economic, and political progress of the United States requires a democratic revolution in America; the return of power to the people.”
Maybe we can send this to him too.
That Racist “H” Word
October 8, 2008
It seems the rabid donkeyshit never ends. No one is free to express their Constitutionally guaranteed Freedom of Speech without being labeled a racist. Except for Democrats, of course. In a move that has me actually shocked, a sheriff in Lee County, Florida is under federal investigation for making “racially tinged” remarks because he referred to Obarky by his full name: Barack Hussein Obama.
I kid you not.
Group demands apology from Sheriff Scott
“Let’s leave Barack Hussein Obama wondering what happened,” It’s the line spoken by Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott that’s stirring up a lot of opinions in Southwest Florida and even has some groups turning against the Sheriff.
Here is the actual quote not taken out of context.
Ladies and gentlemen, there’s three types of people in our country today. There’s people that make things happen, There’s people that watch things happen. And there are people that wonder what happened. On November 4th, let’s leave Barack Hussein Obama wondering what happened.
Sounds good to me. But is it racist? I think not. I mean, it’s quite a stretch to assume that what he said had a single thing to do with race. But leave it to the ACLU and the NAACP to create controversy where there is none. And what’s up with the ACLU not supporting Scott’s freedom of expression? Has it become an institution that only protects the rights of Democrats and terrorists? No need to answer.

Maybe some of us in battle ground states could start placing ads in local newspapers,the average American and why we don’t like Obama and then tell them the reasons why. You know like the hollyweird crowd did,Not in my name ad they did. At least it might bring some attention to the average American from average Americans.
Well, yeah we all know it, but the general populace is still in the dark about how extreme Obama’s socialism is and what it would mean to our nation.
from the DSA newsletter:
Quote:
DSA’s vision is one of democracy, liberty and solidarity. DSA’s program must consist of: global social justice and labor rights, economic democracy (i.e. democratic control over capital), social re-distribution, progressive taxation and demilitarization. DSA’s strategy includes: building a solidaristic Left (labor and progressives), transcend false dichotomies such as global / national and promote a clear critique of the market.
On Saturday morning the theme of the discussion centered on “What should be DSA’s Mission at this particular time?” This session was led by Richard Healey. First, Political Director Chris Riddiough provided a synopsis of her paper on DSA’s mission which stated “DSA’s purpose is to establish socialism as a political force in the U.S. and around the world by training mobilizing socialist activists, building progressive coalitions and education people and public officials about democratic socialism.”

We need a quick synopsis of the ties between acorn and the new party, between omama and acorn,the terrorist and the new party, and obama and the terrorists that we can email and post everywhere.
Wow, the article is acutally overcoming the Obamabots trying to bury it at digg. Here is the address to digg the story up.

Here is some more information on Obama and his socialist/communist ties:
Obama-file 15 Socialist Octagenarians for Barack
Obama-file 14 here
Barack Obama is a creation of the Chicago far left.
He is the product of a radical alliance that elected Chicago’s Marxist mayor, Harold Washington in 1983 and Illinois’ socialist Senator Carol Moseley Braun in 1992.
That coalition still exists and has backed Obama since his first Illinois State Senate race in 1996.
Though nominally a Democrat he has long been supported by Chicago members of the Communist Party, its offshoot, the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism and the equally extreme Democratic Socialists of America.
Two of Obama’s Chicago comrades have supported him for many years. Both are octagenarian icons of the Chicago far left. They move in the same circles and have crossed paths in many campaigns.
One has backed off in disappointment at Obama’s movement to the “right”. The other still stands behind his man.
Dr Quentin Young is a leading national campaigner for “single payer”- socialised medicine.
Young has been active in Chicago socialist circles since the 1930s. In the 1960s he was Martin Luther King’s personal physician.
In the early 1980s Young was a leading member of Harold Washington’s inner circle and was rewarded with the post of President of the Chicago Board of Health.
In 1992 Chicago Democratic Socialists of America awarded their most well known member with their highest honour-the Debs Award
You have been there in the struggles for Civil Rights, for social and economic justice, and against all forms of discrimination. You were there in 1951 to fight against discrimination in Chicago medical institutions. You were there in 1983 for Harold Washington to win the mayoralty. You were there when Carol Moseley Braun announced her intention to run for the U.S. Senate. You have demonstrated your understanding that trade unions are a social force for Progress and Justice in our country.
Quentin Young at the 1992 Debs dinner
For you dedication in the fight for universal and comprehensive health care for all and for your lifetime commitment to change our society to the better, the Debs - Thomas - Harrington Dinner Committee hereby presents to you its annual award this First Day of May, 1992.
In the 1990s and early ‘00s Obama and Young were politically on the same page.
Obama also advocated “single payer” health. As a state Senator Obama and another leftist colleague and state representative William Delgado presented the The Health Care Justice Act to the Illinois House and Senate.
According to blog Thomas Paine’s Corner
Barack Obama is quite familiar with the concepts and the specific merits of single payer. Back in the late 1990s, when he was an Illinois State Senator representing a mostly black district on the south side of Chicago, he took pains to consistently identify himself publicly with his neighbor Dr. Quentin Young.
He signed on as co-sponsor of the Bernardin Amendment, named after Chicago’s late Catholic Archbishop, who championed the public policy idea that medical care was a human right, not a commodity. At that time, when it was to his political advantage, Obama didn’t mind at all being perceived as an advocate of single payer.
In an interview with Healthcare Now Quentin Young explains his changed relationship with Barack Obama.
“I knew him before he was political,” Young says of Obama. “I supported him when he ran for state Senate. When he was a state Senator he did say that he supported single payer. Now, he hedges. Now he says, if we were starting from scratch, he would support single payer.”
“Barack’s a smart man,” Young says. “He probably calculated the political cost for being for single payer – the shower of opposition from the big boys – the drug companies and the health insurance companies. And so, like the rest of them, he fashioned a hodge podge of a health insurance plan.”
Young said that the last time he spoke with Obama was in early 2005. In January 2005,Obama voted to confirm Condoleeza Rice as Secretary of State.
“When I heard about the vote, I wrote him a letter,” Young said. “I told him I was disappointed in him. Rice was the embodiment of everything that was wrong with this administration. So, he called me back and he said – why didn’t you pick up the phone and call me? And he said – do you think Bush would ever send to the Senate a nominee for Secretary of State who I could vote for? I said – you are the Constitutional lawyer. It’s about advice and consent, right? You should have denied him your consent.”
Young says that none of the leading Democratic Presidential candidates supports single payer.
Dr. Young is looking for an alternative.
One who is not looking for an alternative is Chicago historian, Timuel Black, A long time friend and admirer of Barack Obama.
Young Timuel Black became interested in socialism in the 1930s inspired by Communist Party street speakers Claude Lightfoot and Ishmael Flory.
Black became an active unionist in the late 1930s and associated with Communists and Trotskyists.
On joining the US Army in WW2 Black was denied officer training because military intelligence claimed he had secretly joined the Communist Party-a charge Black still denies.
After the war, Black’s activities were monitored by the Chicago Police Department’s anti-radical “Red Squad”, for many years.
Black was active in the Communist Party infiltrated Progressive Party in the late 1940s.
Later he served as Assistant Coordinator of the National Teacher Corps, the Teachers Committee for Quality Education and the Congress of Racial Equality.
He became president of the local chapter of the allegedly communist controlled Negro American Labor Council.
In the early 1980s, Timuel Black led the campaign to register 250,000 voters to help elect Chicago mayor Harold Washington.
Black also held leadership roles in the Justice Coalition of Greater Chicago and the Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights. Recently he has been active in the anti Iraq war, Peace Action Committee.
In the 1970s, Timuel Black was involved with the annual Chicago Debs Day Dinners, the highpoint of of Illinois socialist calendar.
At that time the dinner was run by remnants of the Socialist Party USA. After 1982 the event was taken over by the newly formed Democratic Socialists of America.
Timuel Black helped sponsor the event in 1970 (with well known writer Saul Bellow), 1976 and 1977.
At the 1989 Debs Dinner, Timuel Black presented an award to ex-communist DSA member Milton Cohen, while featured speaker was DSA member Quentin Young.
The Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Alderman Danny K. Davis, a DSA member, current US Congressman and associate of Barack Obama.
DSA leader Carl Marx Shier also presented an award to DSA member William Winpisinger.
Given his company on the podium and his history with the event, Timuel Black was very likely also a DSA member.
Certainly Mr Black has not abandoned socialism.
Timuel Black currently serves on the advisory board of the Communist Party breakaway organisation, Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism alongside former communists such as black radical Angela Davis and leftie folk singer Pete Seeger.
CCDS has long worked closely with DSA and there is considerable cross membership.
Another CCDS advisory board member Manning Marable is a former DSA leader, while yet another, linguist and activist Noam Chomsky, is currently also a DSA member.
Timuel Black has known Barack Obama since at least 1996. That year he he attempted to mediate a dispute between leftist Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer and her anointed successor Obama.
Alice Palmer had allegedly promised Obama the seat if she was successful in a run for the US Congress.
She wasn’t successful, but Obama refused to stand aside and went on to win the seat unopposed-after getting all his opponents (including Palmer) disqualified on voting technicalities.
“I liked Alice Palmer a lot. I thought she was a good public servant,” Obama said. “It was very awkward. That part of it I wish had played out entirely differently.”
His choice divided veteran Chicago political activists.
“There was friction about the decision he made,” said City Colleges of Chicago professor emeritus Timuel Black, who tried to negotiate with Obama on Palmer’s behalf. “There were deep disagreements.”
Despite the mess, Timuel Black became and remains an admirer of the ambitious young politician.
For most Americans, the 2004 Democratic National Convention was their introduction to Obama. However, another friend, South Side historian Timuel Black, said he was impressed with Obama’s intelligence.
“My first impression was this was a very, very brilliant young man,” Black said.
Black said Obama’s biggest obstacle would not be from whites, but from blacks.
“The biggest thing he has to face is the accusations by some blacks that he is not black enough,” he said. “He has to overcome that without being so black that he alienates potential white supporters.”
Timuel Black addressed a largely black audience at the Woodson Regional Library auditorium on Feb. 11, 2007.
Speaking of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign he said;
“Obama is the test of how deep racism is in this country...Barack is the recipient of the struggle of other generations...That means that you feel proud of your ancestors, your successes...(Obama), based on the opportunities that were opened to him by others, is in the position to prove to the world whether the United States of America is a true democracy, or is a continuing hypocrisy.”
Fine words.
Unfortunately Barack Obama’s political heritage comes not from the struggles of Black America, but from the street agitators, back-room dealers and influence pedlars of Red Chicago.

NEW COALITION OFFERS GUIDANCE TO ANC HOPEFULS - NATIONAL PARTY ADVISES ON CAMPAIGN ORGANIZING, STRATEGIES
Washington Post - October 27, 1994
Author: Dana Hull, Special to The Washington Post
At least a dozen community activists affiliated with an
organization called DC New Democracy are running for Advisory Neighborhood Commission seats in the November 8 election.
A chapter of the New Party , a mushrooming national political party, DC New Democracy has been tapping into a pool of activist District residents, encouraging them to run for the nonpartisan ANC seats and assisting them in their campaigns. The local chapter has focused its attention on ANC races in Wards 1, 2 and 6.
DC New Democracy organizer Doug Hess, whose full-time job is coordinator of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), said DC New Democracy is trying to make political officials more representative of the electorate. “We’re trying to weave something together from the progressive groups already active in the District,” he said.
DC New Democracy members include members of the Mount Pleasant Multicultural Coalition and the city’s Gay and Lesbian Activist Alliance, as well as public housing tenants and political novices.
(snip)
The New Party gained national momentum during the 1992 presidential election when Ross Perot’s independent run for president encouraged a rethinking of the role of third parties in American politics.
A coalition of community organizers, environmentalists, trade unionists and other individuals involved in grass-roots social justice work, the national party hopes to capitalize on widespread voter dissatisfaction with government and to challenge the two-party system. Well-known advocates such as Gary Delgado, founder of the Center for Third World Organizing, author Barbara Ehrenreich and Harvard professor and writer Cornel West have signed on to the New Party .
The New Party endorses fusion voting, an electoral concept restricted in most states that would allow a political group to include candidates from other parties on its slate.
“Fusion would allow DC New Democracy ... to endorse Democrats who we supported,” Hess said, “or allow us to run our own candidates in races we thought we could win.”

Vote of Confidence
A huge black turnout in November 1992 altered Chicago’s electoral landscape—and raised a new political star: a 31-year-old lawyer named Barack Obama.

I read some about Project Vote the other night. Their motto?
‘It’s A Power Thing’
It might have even been this same article because it went into all the info about Obama in the same words. I want to see a draft of Obama’s first book on ‘race relations’ before he had the ‘change of heart’ and decided to write about ‘personal journey’ book(Dreams of My Father).
Someone has that first draft, because Obama recieved his first book offer from a publisher before he changed his mind to write about race-relations as a personal journey about his father. THEY ARE HIDING THIS TOO!
bttt
Okay, I was skeptical of this.
But, go to to the link. This is what it says.
“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).”
It doesn’t just say they support Obama, but that he is officially a “member.”
This is big, a very good find.
We need to save the site as a mirror all around the Web.
I have been e-mailing every talk radio host in America today with these three links. All of which indicate Barack Obama’s involvement with socialist partys in America.
