Obama and the Socialist New Party
This stuff keeps coming. I can’t keep up! Everyone knows that Communist USA is Chicago, so no wonder Obama found himself there after being brainwashed by “Frank”, aka Frank Marshall Davis, and spending quality time with the rest of the red gang:
That Obama uncorked his political career at a “coffee” in the home of this fugitive from justice is a Tom Wolfe novel come to life. The radical influences on Obama are almost beyond parody: in youth, he sat at the knee of a Communist poet, Frank Marshall Davis, learned community organizing from the works of Saul Alinsky, received religious instruction from the “God damn America”-spewing Jeremiah Wright, and political tutoring from attendees at Communist Congresses like Alice Palmer. - American Spectator
For those who have been following Obama’s footsteps since his relationship with avowed communist, Frank Marshall Davis, this comes as no surprise. But hey, if millions of Americans want to elect a socialist/communist to the presidency, all I have to say is that you get what you deserve. But what really gets me is how the media, even the AP, continually covers this stuff up in an ongoing insidious and blatant concealment of the facts from the American people. People like Obama, how he speaks and what he says, but they don’t consider that maybe, just maybe he is not being straight with them. Powerline just posted this info and took pictures in case the New Party continued to scrub their website clean:
After allegations surfaced in early summer over the ‘New Party’s’ endorsement of Obama, the Obama campaign along with the remnants of the New Party and Democratic Socialists of America claimed that Obama was never a member of either organization. The DSA and ‘New Party’ then systematically attempted to cover up any ties between Obama and the Socialist Organizations. However, it now appears that Barack Obama was indeed a certified and acknowledged member of the DSA’s New Party.
On Tuesday, I discovered a web page that had been scrubbed from the New Party’s website. The web page which was published in October 1996, was an internet newsletter update on that years congressional races. Although the web page was deleted from the New Party’s website, the non-profit Internet Archive Organization had archived the page.
So what is the New Party and how to they relate to the Democrats?
” the New Party would remain independent of the Democratic Party — but without undermining the Democrats. The New Party’s program for a new majority would, as Todd Gutlin puts it, center around an “old fashioned” concern for issues like living wages.
…the New Party’s founders suggest, the left needs an organization that straddles the inside-outside fence. If the U.S. left is ever to make a meaningful decision on the third-party-vs.-Dems question, they propose, it must first take on the task of grassroots power-building.
Thus, most of the New Party’s work has been in local politics, where its candidates need no party label — just the activist energy it takes to win office. The party’s strategy has been to build political organizations in a few targeted cities, working closely with labor and community organizations. Chapters run candidates only where they have a real chance of winning, combine campaign work with organizing and education, and refuse to spoil elections by stealing votes from the better of two major party candidates.
But to grow past the local level, something more is needed…
…Until major changes in the legal structure of the U.S. politics happen, we’re stuck with a two-party system, and progressives — if they want to win many elections — will have to run, and vote, Democrat.
But without fusion, the New Party is not likely to have the capacity to swing higher level elections any time soon, inside or outside the Democratic Party. For now the New Party is nothing more — and nothing less — than a network of local labor-community political organizations. These organizations can, from time to time, move their political muscle and know-how into Democratic primaries to back progressive candidates for state legislature and even Congress, but do not have the size or clout to field their own candidates for the Senate, the Governor’s office, or the White House.”
“As our party(ies) grow, and build a strong base of support, we should move up in electoral space to higher level offices…
…Chapters generally require endorsed candidates to sign a contract, with requirements that they be NP members, identify as such, support the NP principles and program, and work to build NP chapters…
…For the New Party, whether progressives should run as Democrats is a tactical, not ideological, question…
…We rely on the good judgment of our local organizers and leadership to determine whether candidates should run as independents or inside Democratic primaries, or as fusion challengers. Regardless of whether our candidates run as “non-partisan” (in fact, the vast majority of our candidates, as we’re generally running in local elections which are usually non-partisan), “New Party Democrats” (inside Dem Primaries), or independents, they all are New Party members, identify as such, and work to help build local independent political power…”

They have it wrong about Frank Marshall Davis. Edgar Tidwell, whom AIM’s Cliff Kincaid cites as “an expert on the life and writings of Davis,” demolishes right-wing misrepresentation of Davis’s radical influence in one simple paragraph:
“Although my research indicates that Davis joined the CPUSA as a “closet member” during World War II, there is no evidence that he was a Stalinist, or even a Party member before WWII. Further, to those attempting to make the specious stand for the concrete, there is no evidence that he instructed Barack Obama in communist ideology. Frank Marshall Davis did NOT believe in overthrowing the USA. He was committed to what the nation professed to be. For him, communism was primarily an intellectual vehicle to achieve a political end-a possible tool for gaining the constitutional freedoms of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for ALL Americans.” (See http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/Kaleokualoha)
As the son of Frank Marshall Davis, I have been fighting the right-wing disinformation campaign, spearheaded by Cliff Kincaid’s “Accuracy In Media” (AIM), that misrepresents the Davis-Obama relationship in an attempt to exaggerate Obama’s radical background. The AIM website is the source of the falsehoods regarding my father. I have documented their falsehoods in my blog at http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/Kaleokualoha
Fortunately, Uncle Sam trained me to recognize and refute such lies. I am a retired Air Force Intelligence Officer, with specific CIA training in Deception Analysis at “The Farm” in 1989. I invite your readers of integrity to review my documentation of AIM’s deliberate misrepresentation, and to refute any of the items, if possible. I believe you will find that the case for AIM disinformation is ironclad.
