Obama's Red Boyhood Mentor- Member Communist Party USA Frank Marshall Davis, Praised Red Army
Accuracy In Media ^ | April 7, 2008 | Cliff Kincaid

"Obama writes in Dreams From My Father that he saw “Frank”( Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member Communist Party USA) only a few days before he left Hawaii for college.

He said that Davis called college an “advanced degree in compromise,” warned Obama not to forget his “people,” and not to “start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that shit.” This pro-Communist view appears to have been the mindset of Frank Marshall Davis, who spent many hours advising and reading poetry to a young Barack Obama.

Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, 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!”

One Davis poem, “Christ is a Dixie Nigger,” dismisses Christ as “another New White Hope” and declares:

“Remember this, you wise guys Your tales about Jesus of Nazareth are no-go with me I’ve got a dozen Christs in Dixie all bloody and black…”

The revelations about Davis’ poetry will add to the controversy over what kind of role Davis played in shaping Obama’s political views. Davis (1905-1987) seems to have had the same kind of anti-American outlook that animated Obama’s longtime pastor, Jeremiah Wright. In fact, Davis was pro-Soviet, not just anti-American.

Obama’s statement that working class people “cling to guns and religion” reminds me of the Marxist claim that religion is the “opiate of the masses.” In fact, I rather suspect that Obama borrowed the image from Marx in the first place.

You can get the url by right clicking the photo, and going to “properties.” Then paste it in a reply box and bracket it like this:

[img src= “put url here”]

except use these brackets < > instead of [ ]

(If I use the <> brackets, it won’t show up on the screen because it’s treated like a computer instruction, so instead I used [])

The fact that BO even has a chance of getting elected President sends thrills up Chris Matthews’ leg and chills up my spine. He said in his bio that he learned early that the way to handle white people was to speak softly and to avoid any sudden movements so as to avoid frightening them. Well, he has managed to frighten me.

The photo is not on the internet? If not, then you’ve got to put it on the internet before you can do what you want to do. You can go to Photobucket, or something like that, but it’s a lot of work. Might be better to just see if you can find a photo of him already on the internet.

Once it’s on the internet, you get the URL by right clicking the photo, selecting “properties,” and looking at the info provided. One of the pieces of info will be the URL.

Obama responds to the latest revelations:

"Frank Davis was a poet and I didn't even know it."

“Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” indeed. Considering pure military capability and effectiveness, I also have marvelled at Stalin’s Red Army of ‘45. If one truly needed anything destroyed utterly, only the American nukes could rival the Soviet groundpounders’ ability to provide satisfaction. At the end of World War II, there was the malevolent, threatening bulk of the Russian Army, and there was the credible, demonstrated, city-vaporizing, first-strike capability of the American Army Air Corps and Navy, and then there was all the rest put together.

It’s difficult to imagine they are so blatantly antiAmerican!

See this :

Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left

And a review:

**********************************

By  Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)
I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.
