Obama’s Red Mentor

by Brendan Steinhauser ~ August 13, 2008

One of the themes of the book is that Obama has a lot of shady connections to domestic terrorists, socialists, communists and other radicals. Here is an article about Obama’s communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, whom Obama refers to in one of his books only as “Frank.”

Here is an excerpt from the article:

A careful reading of Obama’s first memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” reveals that his childhood mentor up to the age of 18 — a man he refers to only as “Frank” — was none other than the late communist Frank Marshall Davis, who fled Chicago after the FBI and Congress opened investigations into his “subversive,” “un-American activities.” …

..Obama followed in Davis’ footsteps after college, working as a “community organizer” for the same socialist network in Chicago. He even considered a career in journalism like Davis.

Obama attended socialist conferences, and took a shine to other black Marxist revolutionists. Not long after Davis died in 1987, Obama came under the spell of another black nationalist-socialist, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who, like Davis, wore a dashiki and became a father figure.

This is just one of many extremists that Barack Obama befriended over the years. Our book highlights some of the other connections, and provides sources where you can read more about these connections yourself. Should we hand over the keys to the White House to a guy that was mentored by folks like Frank Marshall Davis? I guess the American people will decide in November.
