The mainstream media thought that the membership of Todd Palin, who is not a candidate for any office, in the Alaska Independence Party important enough to report in such outlets as the Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, and the New York Times, among others. So now that Barack Obama's membership in the far left New Party has been unearthed, will they report his membership in that Socialist organization?
Proof of Obama's membership in the New Party was discovered by the Politically Drunk On Power blog:
In June sources released information that during his campaign for the State Senate in Illinois, Barack Obama was endorsed by an organization known as the Chicago "New Party". The 'New Party' was a political party established by the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards. The admittedly Socialist Organization experienced a moderate rise in numbers between 1995 and 1999. By 1999, however, the Socialist 'New Party' was essentially defunct after losing a supreme court challenge that ruled the organizations "fusion" reform platform as unconstitutional.

I saw the same and was going to post, but yours is already up. See Post 18.
-your friends in the MSM
You've captured the essence of the MSM...
Also, Obama’s ties with the DSA (Chicago Democratic Socialists of America) need to be explored.
This link contains Obama’s DSA endorsement and shows that he was a panel member at a DSA forum on the economy. He later received praise for his socialist comments at this forum. I’ll post that link as well:

Quote about his socialist economics:
“When Obama participated in a 1996 UofC YDS Townhall Meeting on Economic Insecurity, much of what he had to say was well within the mainstream of European social democracy.”

When 
Of course, my dream is he'll put it up with a siren. Hadn't had one of those in a long time.
“And remember the “Clinton Effect?” The more we found to pile on him, the more The True Believers fought back by refusing to even hear it.”
The true believers and Obama can have each other. I’m concerned about reaching the ones who might vote for Obama just because he’s the “not-Bush” candidate. The ones who want to switch parties in the White House, as if that could make all of our troubles go away. They can be persuaded. I know people like this. There are lots of them.
I think more to the point is what kind of disgraceful behavior in his past would it take for the MSM to change their tactics and expose this creep? IOW, how far down the road to perdition are they willing to slither?
I will personally drive over there and slap you if you ever dare to disgrace the name of the ham sandwich again by comparing it to obama.
Skip Drudge, Rush and McCain and get the news to Sarah Palin. She's got balls.
Any 527’s going to act on this?
I’m beginning to get the feeling that it really doesn’t matter what Obama has done or not done.Nothing sticks and the public is more concerned now with their 401’s than who Obama really is or who his friends may or may not be ?
It doesn’t matter that a close associate was a Weatherman bomber ? Or that he recruited for acorn ? And many,many other problems with Obama. So come January we are going Socialist and there is no stopping it.More than 50% of America is for this Marxist.If the top of our ticket were a true
Conservative ? We may have survived this.

If the entire global financial system can melt down, so can the “liberal-stream media”. If they fail to report this story, they have sealed their doom.
Bobwoodard,
Indeed :)
The DSA later praised Obama for his words at that forum:
“When Obama participated in a 1996 UofC YDS Townhall Meeting on Economic Insecurity, much of what he had to say was well within the mainstream of European social democracy.”

Not to mention that for someone who was not a member of the NP, he seemed to be a regular in their newsletters during that timeframe.
Here are a couple of blurbs from New Ground 47 (NP newsletter) regarding the 4 candidates they endorsed (Barack was one):
“All four candidates attended the NP membership meeting on April 11th to express their gratitude” - Too bad there’s no YouTube for his chat with the NPers.
“Barack Obama, victor in the 13th State Senate District, encouraged NPers to join in his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration.” - I wonder if this links up with the work ACORN was doing?

bttt
The entire black caucus belonged to the DSA before the commies at DSA took the info off its web site in the 1990s. Pelosi was a member of DSA, too.
The bed-wetting liberals who vote these traitors into congress don’t care. Hell, half the members at my local American Legion here in the socialist/welfare state of Michigan are either communists or socialists. This country is stinky stuffed to gunwales with Marxists. Sooner or later, we need to do a major house cleaning.
I hear you, and agree. My brother in law got suckered to the dark side, but so far, no luck convincing him Obama will be poison for him & his girls. He somehow conflates the death of his first wife, the closing of his business = Boosh! And of course, he wants "change..."
