Yes, I remember your warnings!
That wasn’t meant as an “I told you so”, but rather additional verification of the love affair Communist Party USA has with Obama. Recall, his “Uncle Frank” (Frank Marshall Davis) was a prominent member of CPUSA.

Obamas Red Mentor Praised Red Army
AIM Report | By Cliff Kincaid | April 30, 2008
Barack Obamas childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA), wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. Smash on, victory-eating Red Army, he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.
The Red Army poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:
Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!

excerpt...
"through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his 'poetry' and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just 'Frank.'
The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations."
Frank Chapman, a CPUSA supporter, has written a letter to the party newspaper hailing the Illinois senator's victory in the Iowa caucuses:
"Obamas victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle. Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through."

"Why did Barack Obama move to Chicago? Why did he choose a city famous for its corruption and distrust of outsiders as a launching pad for his political career? Did Obama's boyhood mentor, life long communist Frank Marshall Davis influence that choice?"

Great that they credit Free Republic and do not try to palm it off as their own work! Love seeing this professional courtesy and academic honesty being extended within the Conservative movement. /sarc
I tried the link you provided, but it comes up “page not found”. Did they perhaps remove the piece?
OK, thanks. I got it now. I just realized the url in your first link had a quote mark attached to the end. Guess that’s why it didn’t work. I’ll check out the post tomorrow. 1:30 in the morning here in New York.
The American Thinker and Mark Levin did the identical thing to me on a post I made several months ago on Communist Party USA being delighted with Obama. Levin gave credit to Amer Thkr for finding the piece and read my bracketed quote alongside the title on air. Neither of them mentioned FR. It was a 5 or 6 week old article I dug up on the CPUSA website. Amer Thkr posted it on their website about 1/2 hour after I posted it here.
Aniki! How are things?
Nothing more irritating than to see someone dishonest or at least without manners, even within our Conservative circles, hijack ones material and in some extreme cases attach THEIR OWN NAME AS AUTHOR, throw it up on a website and then have people bathe them in accolades over the information and the translation, and then on top of that the person accept with thanks such comments.
In my day, we called that PLAGIARISM.
Besides the comments you added to the CPUSA article you posted (in parenthesis), did they copy any other comments of yours? They may not have even realized those words were yours, despite the fact that they don’t appear in the title of the actual CPUSA article. Technically, comments made within an article by the person writing the article should be in parenthesis (...), while comments made by someone reposting the article should be in square brackets [...].
I meant besides the comments you added to the title. In any case, I do now see that they also copied your “PW Editorial Board (i.e. a bunch of COMMUNISTS)”. So I totally agree with you. It’s really shameful of them. Also, the “No Joke” comment you added to the title was a dead giveaway that the comments weren’t written by CPUSA.
Here's one of a newspaper clipping linking Obama to the socialist New Party of which he was once a member:
