March - April, 2000

... For Congressman of the 1st Congressional District, the Executive Committee was faced with two very good candidates. As we are not making endorsements but merely recommendations, we felt no conflict in recommending both Bobby Rush and Barak Obama...

Barak Obama is serving only his second term in the Illinois State Senate so he might be fairly charged with ambition, but the same might have be said of Bobby Rush when he ran against Congressman Charles Hayes. Obama also has put in time at the grass roots, working for five years as a community organizer in Harlem and in Chicago. 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. To volunteer, call 773 846 2262. Contributions may be sent to Obama for Congress 2000, PO Box 497987, Chicago, IL 60649. ...

“How many people who early voted and voted for Obama would have changed their minds if they had waited until Nov 4th?”

They probably registered three times, so maybe we can squeeze one of those extra votes out for McPalin.

about Democratic Socialism from the site:

“We cannot accept capitalism’s conception of economic relations as “free and private,” because contracts are not made among economic equals and because they give rise to social structures which undemocratically confer power upon some over others. “

snip

“The democratic socialist vision does not rest upon one sole tradition; it draws upon Marxism, religious and ethical socialism, feminism, and other theories that critique human domination. “


Then it goes on to discuss Karl Marx

Y'know, I thought that the fact the endorsement was from the Democratic Socialists of America might have gotten more interest than it has on this thread.

>>>>”As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, there is an archive in the Columbia University Library (69.5 document boxes) about activism and protest (1958-1999). Someone who has access to the library needs to do some research.”

We have some research posted here:

Obama, a whole life devoted to helping people demand that OTHER people fix things, rather than fixing things themselves.

Howdy there Alamo Girl. Its been a long time.

Are you connecting the dots on Obama’s background to the point where you can say that the most steadfast and significant influence upon him has been the most radical of the far Left? That means including the unrepentant Weatherman Faction.

But I am surprised that Hillary did not hit him over this back in the primaries.

Isn't this is what passes for "charm" when one is a "Community Organizer"? (with all due respect to both Sharpton and 0bama:)

Hi there, Monterrosa-24!

I imagine Hillary did not connect the dots because it would cause hers to be connected as well.
