Obama: The Communist Connection

I read a very fascinating article, courtesy of Townhall.com, whereby Democratic presidential nominee Barry Obama's communist/socialist ties are examined.

The bottom line is this: does it really surprise anyone that Obama has ties to communism? After all, it's been shown that Obama has ties to a hate-mongering man of th cloth (Reverend Jeremiah Wright) and a terrorist (Weather Underground's Bill Ayers). Yet, it doesn't really matters. Our supposedly-objective press has given this neophyte politician a free pass on his background.

What a joke...

Here are some highlights from the article:

First, "In Hawaii, he was mentored by a member of the Communist Party by the name of Frank Marshall Davis. In Chicago, his career was launched and he was close friends with a number of communists and socialists."

Second, "It really begins even before Obama gets to Chicago because according to his book, when he goes to college -- first Occidental College and later Columbia University -- he picks among his friends Marxist professors. Obama himself admits this. He also admits attending socialist conferences. That would suggest the influence that Davis had on Obama extended into his college and university years.

Now when he gets to Chicago, we find that once again he gravitates and comes into the company of the most extreme anti-American elements, including socialists and communists. Keep in mind that the Weather Underground terrorists, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, were communist terrorists. They were not just '60s radicals. These were people who openly supported the communist enemy killing Americans in Vietnam. Some of the members in this group, including Dohrn, had traveled to Havana, Cuba, to get instructions from the communists about how to wage their campaign in the United States."

If, in the event that these associations truly come to light, will the Mainstream Media continue to treat Obama with kid gloves?
