Radicals Use Obama to Push anti-American Agendas

Barack Obama is a creation of like-minded professional and amateur political operatives. Whether it’s the corrupt Chicago Machine or the so-called progressives with their socialist agenda or the ruthless and power-grubbing leaders of the Democratic Party, Obama has arrived at the top of the ticket and tied in the polls as a politically “made man.”
From our research, it appears that Obama has been groomed as a manchurian candidate for many years. It is likely that Obama’s early contacts and influences compelled him to look for mentors and patrons who shared his political views and ambitions. For example, in the August 24th UK Telegraph, while Americans were encouraged to witness the coronation of Obama, Toby Harnden wrote about Communist Frank Marshall Davis as an early influence:
Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s half-sister, told the Associated Press recently that her grandfather had seen Mr Davis was “a point of connection, a bridge if you will, to the larger African-American experience for my brother”.
Despite what Oprah or Spike Lee or Donna Brazille want people to think, Obama needed a bridge to Black America because his life has had nothing in common with African Americans. Harnden:
In his memoir, Mr Obama recounts how he visited Mr Davis on several occasions, apparently at junctures when he was grappling with racial issues, to seek his counsel. At one point in 1979 Mr Davis described university as “an advanced degree in compromise” that was designed to keep blacks in their place.
Mr Obama quoted him as saying: “Leaving your race at the door. Leaving your people behind. Understand something, boy. You’re not going to college to get educated. You’re going there to get trained.”
Obama needed help getting that training. And we know that Khalid al-Mansour, aka Donald Warner, mentor to Black Panther Huey Newton, asked his former business associate, Percy Sutton, to help Obama get into Harvard, which he did. However, did you know that Percy Sutton was Malcolm X’s lawyer? Adam Howard writes for Black Star News:
Sutton’s story did not begin in Harlem, but that’s where he attained his prominence and legendary stature. In the 1960’s Sutton became known in the community as an attorney who represented social activists. When Malcolm X, then considered a controversial figure by much of the corporate media, needed a lawyer, Sutton was the only man, Black or white, willing to represent him. The two became very close and he served as Malcolm X’s family lawyer before and after his death.
In addition to the Chicago Machine, Obama’s ascent has been created and forced on us by the so-called “progressives.” Not the little blogger boys of DKos and MyDD, or the embarrassingly effete groupies of Huffpo, but the gen-u-ine “progressives,” also known as Domestic Terrorists. Yes, I’m referring to the celebrity radicals, the role-models of Obama’s thugs: Bill Ayers, Tom Hayden, and another name in search for 15 minutes of fame, Mark Rudd. We find them gathered together on one site, Progressives for Obama. Their current headline reads:
Financial Crisis: Thinking About the Real Socialist Way Out:
Bailout! A Case for economic Democracy and Clearing the Path to Socialism
Tom Hayden describes the “call” of this group:
March 24, 2008 – All American progressives should unite for Barack Obama. We descend from the proud tradition of independent social movements that have made America a more just and democratic country. We believe that the movement today supporting Barack Obama continues this great tradition of grassroots participation, drawing millions of people out of apathy and into participation in the decisions that affect all our lives. We believe that Barack Obama’s very biography reflects the positive potential of the globalization process…
During past progressive peaks in our political history–the late thirties, the early sixties–social movements have provided the relentless pressure and innovative ideas…We intend to join and engage with our brothers and sisters in the vast rainbow of social movements to come together in support of Obama’s unprecedented campaign and candidacy. Even though it is candidate-centered, there is no doubt that the campaign is a social movement, one greater than the candidate himself ever imagined.
You can check out PFO’s signatories, but here’s the 411 on Mark Rudd, according to Aaron Klein:
Among the signatories and endorsers to Progressives for Obama is Mark Rudd, one of the main founders of the Weathermen terrorist organization. Rudd worked closely for years with Weathermen terrorist William Ayers, whose association with Obama has generated controversy for the presidential candidate.
Rudd originally was a top member of the Students for a Democratic Society, or SDS, leading the famed 1968 Columbia University strikes in which hundreds of students seized several university buildings. He also served as spokesman for the strikes, attracting international media attention.
In 1968, Rudd traveled with the SDS to Cuba, defying U.S. travel bans, where he says he was heavily influenced by the legacy of Che Guevara and by Cuban-style revolution. When he returned to the U.S., Rudd advocated for Columbia’s chapter of the SDS to carry out militant, aggressive action, but he was turned down.
The Weathermen took responsibility for bombing U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s.
Rudd went underground in 1970, when a bomb exploded in a townhouse in Greenwich Village in New York City, killing three of his comrades. He lived for seven and a half years in hiding as a fugitive, finally surrendering in 1977, facing only low-level state charges after federal charges against Weathermen leaders had been dropped. He resurfaced as a teacher in New Mexico.
Klein’s article contains a link to Rudd’s own website. In spite of the fact that it’s important to expose Obama’s relationships to and endorsements by these unrepentent Domestic Terrorists, I personally hate giving these guys any attention. Bill Ayers’ memoir Fugitive Days will be re-released on January 12, 2009, I’m sure as a result of all the attention he’s receiving as Obama’s “neighbor.” Amazon includes this in its by-line:
“In February 2008, in the heat of the Democratic primary elections, speculations began circulating in the media about a connection between presidential hopeful Barack Obama and Bill Ayers, a former member of the radical 1960s group the Weather Underground.”
Jack Cashill thinks that Ayers was actually the author of Obama’s book, Dreams From My Father. Read Cashill’s three-part examination. I think he might be on to something,
One last thing: what interests me most about the PFO website are the instructions they include for their army of progressives. Hayden’s article Key Task: Isolate and Divide the Right, reads like something from Saul Alinsky’sRules for Radicals . (Shiver has written about Obama’s Alinsky Jujitsu.) Hayden makes clear that Sarah Palin is now their target :
September 13, 2008 – A principle reason for Progressives For Obama is so that we can say things that the Obama campaign cannot or will not say.
This is one of those times.
1. Sarah Palin is a mortal threat to the possibility of Obama winning. The reason is simple: if she can add a couple of points to McCain from defecting white women and the newly-energized right wing religious base without losing more independent votes, McCain pulls ahead in some key states.
I’m horrified that I ever considered myself a progressive Democrat. In my defense, it was not then the cruel Bolshevikization of the Democratic Party, as Charles Lemos so clearly described back in June.
