Frank Marshall Davis: Obama’s ‘Communist mentor’? (3 Pinocchios to Giuliani)

Giuliani: Well, his — his grandfather introduced him to Frank Marshall Davis, who was a Communist.

Readers of The Fact Checker wanted to know if Giuliani’s comments were accurate.

So we reached out to Cliff Kincaid, president of America’s Survival, a group that seeks to expose Communist and Marxist influences.

We carefully considered the facts underlying this assertion, and the evidence is slim. We may never definitively know one way or another, but it is time to put it to rest.

How about this? If Rudy merits “Three Pinocchios,” then Barack Obama deserves at least 22 for expunging all 22 references to “Frank” in the audio version of Dreams from My Father that was released in 2005, as he prepared for a run for the presidency and no doubt feared being tied to closely to a man who joined the Communist Party under Stalin and had been so radical that the federal government placed him on the Security Index. By completely scrubbing all mentions of “Frank” from the audio version of Dreams, which Obama himself personally approved (as the jacket design says) and narrates in his own voice, Obama deliberately concealed Davis.

For that matter, should we give 23 Pinocchios to the Washington Post for doing a story on this issue and consulting every source but the most important one of all, Obama himself?
