Senator Stealth - How to advance radical causes when no one’s looking.
National Review ^ | 11/1/08 | Stanley Kurtz

Posted on 11/01/2008 7:38:36 AM PDT by Brian Mosely

After hearing about Barack Obama’s ties to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Fr. Michael Pfleger, and the militant activists of ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), it should be clear to everyone that his extremist roots run deep. But the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has yet another connection with the world of far-Left radicalism. Obama has long been linked — through foundation grants, shared political activism, collaboration on legislation and tactics, and mutual praise and support — with the Chicago-based Gamaliel Foundation, one of the least known yet most influential national umbrella groups for church-based “community organizers.”

The same separatist, anti-American theology of liberation that was so boldly and bitterly proclaimed by Obama’s pastor is shared, if more quietly, by Obama’s Gamaliel colleagues. The operative word here is “quietly.” Gamaliel specializes in ideological stealth, and Obama, a master student of Gamaliel strategy, shows disturbing signs of being a sub rosa radical himself. Obama’s legislative tactics, as well as his persistent professions of non-ideological pragmatism, appear to be inspired by his radical mentors’ most sophisticated tactics. Not only has Obama studied, taught, and apparently absorbed stealth techniques from radical groups like Gamaliel and ACORN, but in his position as a board member of Chicago’s supposedly nonpartisan Woods Fund, he quietly funneled money to his radical allies — at the very moment he most needed their support to boost his political career. It’s high time for these shadowy, perhaps improper, ties to receive a dose of sunlight.

B - I’m beginning to wonder if he isn’t the most dangerous person to and in the world right now.

No time to wonder. The evidence is there for all to see. This election is when the hammer drops on the greatest society in the history of God's Earth. Or not.

This was in NR a few months ago. They should have broken the embargo long ago

Kurtz has been one of the few journalists to actually do their f’ing jobs during this campaign

He doesn’t celebrate Christmas—
Not presents for his kids, and I would bet no Christmas tree and decorations.
He doesn’t celebrate birthdays.
He celebrated Halloween-—a devil holiday??

Sure would like to know if he celebrates Kwanza.

This doesn’t sound like it’s the purview of the FBI. In this country, “subversive” activity is for the most part legal. The authorities who should be taking these groups on are the people posting here. Not with baseball bats, but with megaphones, a command of the facts, and composure... or just paper and ink. These groups do not want the public to see their inner workings.
