Obama’s Socialist Ties

The following blogs have noted that they have found documentation that Senator Obama had signed on as a member of the ‘New Party’ or the ‘Democratic Socialists of America’ (DSA).

Senator Obama Signed a Contract with the Chicago Socialist Party

Obama and the New Party

Here is some additional info…

Senator Obama’s is mentioned repeatedly on the ChicagoDSA.org website. For instance,

This note is in reference to a letter from Ron Baiman the author of a book subtitled “Radical Perspectives on Economic Theory and Policy”

Editor’s Note: I confess! I asked Ron to email this letter to the editor when he expressed dismay at Willie Delgato’s absence from the Executive Committee’s “recommended” candidates. I agree it was a significant omission. In the Executive Committee’s defense, I’d add that the main reason we felt compelled to say anything at all was because, at the time, it looked like DSA member Marc Loveless might make it on the ballot. The list was never meant to be comprehensive. There are a number of other very good candidates that were not mentioned. For my part, I would nominate State Senator Barak Obama (13th District) and County Clerk David Orr. Outside of Chicago DSA’s area is Congressman Lane Evans, who is actually facing a tough reelection fight. But this is just my opinion; I’m sure our readers can think of others as deserving, or disagree.

On another page it is noted that Senator was a panelist at DSA event.

Still another page notes that Obama contributed to a DSA meeting on health care

Finally, DSA gives a summary of Barack Obama including a quote from his days at Harcard (a rare find)…

Barack Obama
Barack Obama is running to gain the Democratic ballot line for Illinois Senate 13th District. The 13th District is Alice Palmer’s old district, encompassing parts of Hyde Park and South Shore.

Mr. Obama graduated from Columbia University and promptly went into community organizing for the Developing Communities Project in Roseland and Altgeld Gardens on the far south side of Chicago. He went on to Harvard University, where he was editor of the Harvard Law Review. He graduated with a law degree. In 1992, he was Director of Illinois Project Vote, a voter registration campaign that made Carol Moseley Braun’s election to the U.S. Senate much easier than it would have been. At present, he practices law in Judson Miner’s law firm and is President of the board of the Annenberg Challenge Grant which is distributing some $50 million in grants to public school reform efforts.

What best characterizes Barack Obama is a quote from an article in Illinois Issues, a retrospective look at his experience as a community organizer while he was completing his degree at Harvard:

“… community organizations and organizers are hampered by their own dogmas about the style and substance of organizing. Most practice … a ‘consumer advocacy’ approach, with a focus on wrestling services and resources from outside powers that be. Few are thinking of harnessing the internal productive capacities, both in terms of money and people, that already exist in communities.” (Illinois issues, September, 1988)

Luckily, Mr. Obama does not have any opposition in the primary. His opponents have all dropped out or were ruled off the ballot. But if you would like to contribute to his campaign, make the check payable to Friends of Barack Obama, 2154 E. 71st, Chicago, IL 60649. If you would like to become involved in his campaign, call the headquarters at (312) 363-1996.

If you are wondering what Socialists believe in here is a quote from thehe Chicago DSA web site,

The globalization of capital requires a renewed vision and tactics. But the essence of the socialist vision - that people can freely and democratically control their community and society - remains central to the movement for radical democracy. Those who cite the collapse of communist regimes, for which the rhetoric of socialism became a cover for authoritarian rule, as proof that capitalism is the foundation of democracy, commit fraud on history. The struggle for mass democracy has always been led by the excluded - workers, minorities, and women. The wealthy almost never join in unless their own economic freedom appears at stake. The equation of capitalism with democracy cannot survive scrutiny in a world where untrammeled capitalism means unrelenting poverty, disease, and unemployment.

  1. I am more concerned with Palins association with the anti USA Alaskan party that wants Alaska to be independent from the USA.

  2. McCain’s vote for the Bailout pretty much puts him in the Socialist camp wouldn’t you say?

  3. The Dishonest radical Socialist who call themselves democrats, used an unpopular war and charges of corruption, many of the charges false, but tell a lie till it becomes truth tactics , to win them control of both houses.

    They did everything they could to cause America to lose in Iraq, including trying to cut off funding for our troops, and setting timetables to insure defeat, just to win elections, and hoped to ride the same jackass to the Whitehouse.

    In june, the surge was working so well they had to go to plan “B” which was already in place, just had to be executed.

    From 2001 till now they blocked every attempt to rein in Fannie/Freddie. (attempts by republicans on record) This was the first part of plan “B”.

    Check the numbers, from 2001 thru 2006 the economy was growing at a steady pace, the stock market was setting new records, jobs were being created, and gas was $2.16 a gallon.

    From 2007 till now the stock market has tanked, economy has tanked, jobs are being lost and gas is about $4.00 a gallon. What happened?????
    Democrats executed the second part of plan “B”. By having their ultra wealthy cronies manippulate the stock market and futures markets, they set out to tank the American Economy. They care nothing about the American people, they only care about gaining power.

  4. Brian Blatchley you’re an idiot! First off, if they were true separatists they wouldn’t be joining a ticket to run for Federal positions. Secondly, you’d have to be an idiot to compare a state wanting to be free from the tyranny of a corrupt Washington Federal system is somehow a bad thing. If anything, I consider a disdain for the federal system as admirable and needed at this point in our nations history. The current system does nothing but facilitate the looting of our treasury through ineffective politicians who will destroy this country to gain political power. If I lived in a non-liberal state, I would seek the same.

  5. As we speak the democrats are devising plan “C” in their secret underwater lair.

  6. Marion….you are SO right….They are also throwing huge amounts of money out there in the blogosphere. Every conservative blog or comment section is inundated by really agressive Obamanots who spew incendiary comments and start “fights’….That is what millions of dollars of funding brings you….a willing army of cool-aid drinkers….Just look to the ACORN folks that are being paid to bring in voter registrations in 10 States……and counting.

  7. At a time when money is central on everyone’s mind, Obama is going to spend a significant chunk to monopolize the airwaves. The process of running for election and the money wasted on it needs to be reeled in by the electorate. 18 plus months of this is destroying our system. Think of what that money could have been used to help. The only thing that continues to go through my mind is that something is wrong, very wrong……

  8. Barack Obama Groomed By New Party Radicals For Socialist Puppet Regime

    The following is an article written as a comment by one of our visitors, Marion Valentine. Marion is a shining example of a very rare breed these days — a true American Patriot.

    The Davis Plan and Connections to Obama

    In 1963, while serving in Navy Intelligence (from 1958-1967), I read the FBI file on Frank Marshall Davis. He had outlined the Communist plan to take over America from within, by installing educators at all levels of our educational system, gaining control of the media, getting Liberal judges appointed, recruiting, training and backing people to be elected to public office.

    I have researched every piece of legislation I can find that the Liberal Democrats have passed since the early sixties, and if you will research for yourself, you will find that they have been slowly moving this country towards Socialism.

    When Obama announced he was running for President as an unknown with only one major speech at the DNC (that the DNC and MSM made so much fuss over), he aroused my old Intel suspicions. So I started researching.

    I have not found any evidence to convince me he is a Muslim, but I did find his radical associations were unusual. I found that Frank Marshall Davis, who had fled from Chicago to Hawaii in 1958 because of the FBI investigation, met Obama in Hawaii when Obama was 12 years old, and was Obama’s mentor from then till Davis died in 1987.

    Davis put Obama in touch with the Socialist Party in Chicago (called the New Party) which Ayers is also a member of, therefore the first “Planned” contact with Ayres. The New Party helped launch and finance Obama’s political Career. Obama…..selected, trained, groomed, and scripted to become the “puppet” leader of the United Socialist States of America.

    Since I am in the 4th and final stage of congestive heart failure and will be lucky to live long enough to see the next President take office, why should this election matter to me? Why does Obama’s statement, that he wants a “National Civilian Security Force” as strong and as well-funded as our military (conjuring up images of the old-style USSR police state) matter to me?

    IT’S SIMPLE… I LOVE AMERICA
    If only more of us had that “simple” love of country. God Bless You, Marion.

  9. Reggy;
    ACORN is under investigation in 22 states..Gathering information is like going through the links of hundreds of broken chains, and finding links that match, All of Obama’s links since birth have “radical” and “Socialist” stamped on them. If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck it are a duck.

  10. There is but one puppet regime of concern (the one we will be free of soon).

    Obama bought up ad space with money he legally obtained (it’s called capitalism). The global market melt down was not due to Freddie or Fanny giving out bad loans to poor people. It has to do with an entire economy in debt up to it’s eyeballs (homeowners, consumers and the lenders themselves and banks giving out loans to everybody without having enough equity to back these loans up. It also has to do with accounting tools created by foolish people which allowed banks to swap debt and ensure the debt and then wipe the debt off of their books.

    Obama is supported by a number of groups that he does not support. They have only two choices. Obama has many. The fact that certain groups have supported Obama’s campaign does not at all mean that Obama supports their views.

    Since Cliff Kincaid has posted the entire file online (http://usasurvival.org/marshall.fbi.files.html), please advise where this “Communist plan” is located. Thanks!

  12. Your clarification on your site found me nodding my head the whole way through. Thanks for this site. I am a centrist on social issues, moderate conservative on fiscal, and a registered independent.

    I would like to know if it’s possible to be an independent but vote for Obama? The fiscal, socialistic plans from Obama are so liberal/left/democrat that you’d have to be extremely conservative on social issues (i.e. would have to be pro life) to offset the fiscal socialism. May be it’s possible to be a purple person and vote Obama but logically, it doesn’t seem likely. Wonder what others think.

  13. So Brian, I guess the proposition of a Socialist United States is not upsetting to you? Obama has proven Socialist ties going back until 2006. I’m sure you don’t believe me so read it for your self…

  17. McCain likes spreading the wealth too, consistant with Bush policies. In the 8 years of the Bush administration $6 billion has been taken from working and middle class Americans and “spread” among the richest 5%.

  18. This is an amazing entry. Thank you very much for the outstanding post provided! I was looking for this entry for a long time, but I wasn�t able to find a trustworthy source.
