The news of Barack Obama's close relationship with Frank Marshall Davis has been around before, but it's important. Via Accuracy in Media:

Through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just "Frank."

The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member.

Aren't we seeing a pattern here? One interaction with one old communist isn't particularly troubling. A handful of sporadic interactions with a handful of radical left-wingers may not be particularly troubling. But a lifelong pattern of extended associations and alliances with scores of fringe, America-hating radicals is very, very troubling indeed.

Just to be clear:

It's not just that Barack Obama's father was a Marxist economist or that his mother Stanley came from radical far-left roots.

It's not just that Obama's childhood mentor Frank Marshall Davis was a famous communist poet.

It's not just that Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor, counselor and spiritual mentor of 20 years is a racist, America-hating radical.

It's not just that Michael Phleger, Obama's other spiritual mentor is every bit as extreme as Wright.

It's not just that his wife Michelle has never been really that proud of America, or that she thinks this country is "mean".

It's not just that Obama refused to wear a flag, or that he refused to salute it during the national anthem.

It's not just that Obama's political and financial benefactor William Ayers is an unrepentant radical socialist terrorist.

It's not just that Bernadine Dohrn regrets that she didn't kill more people back in the 1960s.

It's not just that Alice Palmer, Obama's political mentor in Chicago, was a communist propagandist.

It's not just that Obama was a member of the radical socialist New Party or that he ran as a candidate for public office under their far-left platform.

It's not just that Obama was an agitator, trainer and attorney for the corrupt and radical-left ACORN.

None of these facts, by itself, tells you that much about Barack Obama. A reasonable person should, however, be able to look at this motley crew of left-wing communists and America-haters, realize that Barack Obama's rolodex is a veritable Who's Who of American Socialism, be very, very disturbed by that fact and ask some very probing questions about WHO Barack Obama is, WHAT he believes, and WHY this gang of radical America-haters considers Barack Obama such a good friend.

I love how it said, "His mother came from radical far left roots"

She spent a lot of her life FIGHTING POVERTY IN INDONESIA, AND HELPING PEOPLE FOR GOOD.

WHY IS THIS A BAD THING TO YOU PEOPLE? This isn't republicans that think this, but sadly it is coming down to such a US and Them, that the right wing is ready to attack a person who is dead, and spent her life helping other humans to acheive a agenda.

It is wrong, just wrong.

I guess myself and the many , many people who attend his rallies and most important will vote for him are his friends and supporters. I 'm not a communist and I'm sure the others aren't either. Suck it up Obama next president.

Stanley Ann Dunham did not spend a lot of her life fighting poverty in Indonesia. The only work she did with the poor in Indonesia was aiding the Socialst rebels who were in hiding from the government forces.

She worked as an assistant to an anthropologist and worked as an analyst in an artifacts lab.

She liked to party and have a good time. She and her estranged Indonesian husband didn't bother getting a divorce and both had affairs.

She once left Barry and his infant sister to travel around the world with one of her lovers for 7 months. This was the period that critics of Obama call his Islamic awakening because his father's family took him to the Mosque daily.

This pathetic thread is more evidence of fear tactics used by self-serving, selfish people with nothing better to do then spew this dribble.

And the the OP. YOU DID NOT RAISE A MARINE! The MARINES made him/her a Marine!

Not you!

such a selfish way for you to think.
