The racial undertones are invented by the suggestion that every ideological opposition is a "code word" for racism. It is pathetic that the race card is the only card Obama supporters have left to play. Even they cannot defend his ideology because the lemmings cannot grasp what all-out communist dictatorship and the loss of national soverignty would mean to their way of life. It would mean admitting that they are just tools of the elites to be thrown under the bus with everyone else.

Chicago DSA openly endorsed Barack Obama

not to mention the weather underground

not to mention, He (obama)is, in fact, an associate of a Chicago-based
Marxist group with access to millions of labor union dollars and connections
to expert political consultants, including a convicted swindler

Obama campaigning for openly
socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Interestingly, Sanders,
who won his seat in 2006, called Obama “one of the great leaders of
the United States Senate,” even though Obama had only been in the
body for about two years. In 2007, the National Journal said that Obama had established himself
as “the most liberal Senator.” More liberal than Sanders? That is
quite a feat. Does this make Obama a socialist, too?

The socialist connections of
Obama and the Democratic Party have certainly not been featured in the
Washington Post columns of Harold Meyerson, who happens not only to be a member
but a vice-chair of the DSA. Meyerson, the subject of our 2005 column, “A Socialist at the Washington
Post,” has praised convicted inside-trader George Soros for manipulating
campaign finance laws to benefit the far-left elements of the Democratic
Party. Obama’s success in the Democratic presidential primaries and
caucuses is further evidence of Soros’s success. Indeed, Soros has
financially contributed to the Obama campaign.


why call him...if it walks like a socialist, and it talks like a socialist, and it associates like a socialist.....then its a socialist

I don't hate any man (or woman).

I loathe Obama's politics, fear for my family because of his utter lack of experience and ineptness, and also think his administration along with a Dem Congress is destroying this country at an alarming rate.


No hate here.

Best take a lesson from the parable! That racism claim is an empty suit!

Because they know that people in this country are scared of socialism without knowing what it actually means. The best anyone will do is claim that Obama wants the government to control every aspect of our lives, which is a false claim on its face. Every legitimate socialist organization is far to the Left of Obama, just as Sanders himself is.

Socialist is too nice of a word to describe his views.
He has said many times that it's time to spread the wealth around.
He's a Marxist.

I can't care less about his skin pigmentation.

Then why did the Socialist Party schedule as part of their yearly roundform discussion, how they could distinguish themself from the Democrats, because the Democrats have taken over their platform?

You don't know what a Marxist is then, unless you think a progressive tax structure is Marxist, in which case, every American president during the 40s, 50s, and 60s were Marxists

The chairman of the Communist Party USA has praised Obama's policies.
What does that make him then?
