Another Obama Mentor Sent to the Dustbin of Anti-American Obscurity

Associated Press Allegedly Caught in Lie as They Provide Cover For Man Characterized as Obama’s Marxist Mentor
Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media has the scoop:
The influential Associated Press (AP) wire service has belatedly run a story about Barack Obama’s Marxist mentor without mentioning the smoking-gun evidence that the mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a Communist Party member. The dishonest story, which represents damage control for the Obama campaign, was written by AP writer Sudhin Thanawala.
AP is one of the largest news agencies and serves thousands of print and electronic media outlets.
Under the innocuous headline, “Writer offered a young Barack Obama advice on life,” the story calls Davis, a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) when it faithfully echoed the Stalinist line, merely a “left-leaning black journalist and poet” known for “leftist politics” and someone who might be accused by some of having “allegedly anti-American views.”
Davis was not a “journalist” in any real sense of the term. He was a propagandist and racial agitator for the CPUSA. He was also a recruiter for the communist cause.
Why am I not surprised that the man that supposedly walks on water has yet another anti-American mentor leaving the campaign once regular people do the job that the American press has refused to do?
As for the Associated Press they should suffer severe penalties for repeatedly lying for the sake of their propagandist agenda. There is a difference between free speech and what they are doing which IMHO is trying to undermine an election of the United States by putting out false information for the voting public.
That aside however, the Associated Press is not the problem here. That title is reserved for the Democratic party and Barack Obama. Earlier I had published an article titled Barack Obama’s List of Unsavory Relationships Continues to Grow.
Let’s add this latest communist to the list of characters; here’s a reminder:
- Reverend Wright (anti-American racist spiritual leader, teacher, friend and adviser)
- Bill Ayers (American terrorist, neighbor and fellow board member)
- Zbigniew Brzezinski (anti-Semitic adviser with a history of anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian writings )
- Robert Malley (pro-Palestinian anti_Semitic Middle East adviser that met secretly with Hamas terrorists)
- Tony Rezko (Convicted political deal maker that provided a sweetheart deal that no regular person could get on a chunk of land for Barack Obama and his wife. The loan came at a time while Rezko was already under the cloud of a federal indictment)
- Rashid Khalidi (Hyde park neighbor, frequent dinner companion and anti-Israeli Columbia University Professor)
- Hatem El-Hady (Fundraiser and former official of the Hamas-linked charity Kindhearts, closed by the Justice Department. El-Hady’s web page—with Michelle Obama listed as an opt-in “friend” where Michelle Obama was required to make the friend add)
- Father Phlegar (Trinity United regular, Obama supporter from the pulpit of his now former church and big mouthed embarrassment)
Kincaid completes the resume for Obama’s latest liability that just happened to be a secret member of the communist party underground.
In fact, Davis was a hard-core but secret CPUSA member with a history of involvement in CPUSA fronts who was so much of a Stalinist that he opposed U.S. participation in World War II during the Hitler-Stalin Pact, but then supported U.S. involvement after Nazi Germany invaded Soviet Russia.
Strangely, the AP article quotes John Edgar Tidwell, a University of Kansas professor who edited Davis’s books, as declining by e-mail an interview request because Davis has allegedly become the victim of a “McCarthy-era strategy of smear tactics and condemnation by association.” Tidwell knows that Davis was a secret CPUSA member and cites evidence in one of his books, including from one of Davis’s private letters, to prove it. Davis refused to deny his CPUSA membership as late as 1956, when a congressional inquiry had named him as a member of the communist underground.
So “McCarthyism” has become telling the truth about communists? Why has Tidwell taken such a low-profile during the presidential campaign when he should have so much to offer about Davis―and possibly Obama? Why the silent treatment?
What to make of all of this? Barack Obama wants to be President of the United States; a Democratic entity. Yet he continues to surround himself with racists, terrorists, Hamas sympathizers, anti-Semitic advisers and now secret members of the Communist Party underground.
Now I ask you, is this the resume for the future president of this country?
