The mysterious "Frank" cited as a friend and adviser by Democratic president contender Barack Obama while he was growing up in Hawaii has been identified as Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA. The identification comes from Cliff Kincaid in his column, "Obama's Communist Mentor," which was made available on the Accuracy in Media website. "Let's challenge the liberal media to report on this," he wrote in his column. "Will they have the honesty and integrity to do so?" Kincaid, who earlier reported on Obama's pending plan to ship $845 billion overseas to battle "global poverty" as evidence of his socialist leanings, said the newly revealed connection is even more worrisome. "Obama's communist connection adds to mounting public concern about a candidate who has come out of virtually nowhere, with a brief U.S. Senate legislative record, to become the Democratic Party frontrunner for the U.S. presidency," he wrote. In Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father," he repeatedly refers to his friend and adviser as "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. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several Communist front organizations," Kincaid said. Kincaid noted Obama has admitted attending "social conferences" and seeing Marxist literature. "But he ridicules the charge of being a 'hard-core academic Marxist,' which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes." He described the link as "ominous." "Decades ago, the CPUSA had tens of thousands of members, some of them covert agents who had penetrated the U.S. government. It received secret subsidies from the old Soviet Union," Kincaid wrote. He noted even Obama describes "Frank" has having "some modest notoriety once." Kincaid notes that a history professor in Houston reported that Davis "befriended" a family whose son was named Barack Obama, "who retracing the steps of Davis eventually decamped to Chicago." "It was in Chicago that Obama became a 'community organizer' and came into contact with more far-left political forces, including the Democratic Socialists of America…," Kincaid wrote. "The SDS laid siege to college campuses across America in the 1960s, mostly in order to protest the Vietnam War, and spawned the terrorist Weather Underground organization." He also reported Kathryn Takara, a professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, confirmed that Davis is the "Frank" in Obama's book. She did her dissertation on Davis, and wrote that he brought, "an acute sense of race relations and class struggle throughout America and the world" and that he openly discussed subjects such as American imperialism, colonialism and exploitation, according to AIM. Obama's campaign also, for the third straight day, declined to respond to WND requests for comment on the report of a Minnesota man who alleges he shared cocaine with Obama when Obama was a state lawmaker in Illinois. WND has reported on claims made by Larry Sinclair, who claims he took cocaine in 1999 with Obama, and participated in homosexual acts with him. Sinclair said his story was ignored by the news media, so he made his case last month in a YouTube video, which has now been viewed about 350,000 times. When it still was ignored, Sinclair said, he filled a lawsuit in Minnesota District Court, alleging threats and intimidation by Obama's staff.
Poster Comment: It's easy to recognize why Obama is so popular. He's a red diaper, doper, dick smoking commie. The New Flag will be a rainbow coalition, pink striped banner with a hammer and sickle. It's about time for a change ... don'tcha know !

Makes sense to me, as most Americans secretly love communism.
"The more I see of life, the less I fear death." - Me. "If violence solved nothing, then weapons technology would have never advanced past crude clubs and rocks." - Me.
WND is bothered that a friend of Obama's parents 40 or 50 years ago was a Communist. Have they ever complained about the former Trotskyites in the administrations of Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II?
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
I'm not aware of any concerted effort to do that ... WND is a zionazi website, that appears to prefer right wing communists to the leftist brand. IMHO.

Ari... Check Obamas writing, rather odd he never identifies the man. Just Frank, no last name. Course you see that as perfectly normal, right?
No but Justin Raimondo did: OUTING THE NEOCONS 'He will make Cheney look like Gandhi.' The memoirs of Frank Marshall Davis (1905-87) offer a fascinating view of early 20th - century America from the perspective of a gifted African American writer. Struggling against the restrictions of racisim, Davis, in his fight for self-esteem, developed a powerful voice as a journalist and a poet. Davis, the journalist, wrote for several major African American newspapers, serving as an advocate for the black voice in both art and society. Davis, the poet, published four volumes of poetry. His love of language and his poetic voice shine through in this creative representation of his life as a blues narrative. Woven into his life story is a vivid portrayal of African American cultural history of the 1930s and 1940s. Using the language of the jazz age, Davis integrates the history of jazz with his own developing sense of racial pride. His autobiography is an important addition to the recovery of significant American voices and belongs in most libraries. - Judy Solberg, Univ. of Maryland Libs., College Park Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Book Description Frank Marshall Davis was a prominent poet, journalist, jazz critic, and civil rights activist on the Chicago and Atlanta scene from the 1920s through the 1940s. He was an intimate of Langston Hughes and Richard Wright and an influential editor at the Chicago Evening Bulletin, the Chicago Whip, the Chicago Star, and the Atlanta World. He renounced his writing career in 1948 and moved to Hawaii, forgotten until the Black Arts Movement rediscovered him in the 1960s. Frank Marshall Davis's autobiography, Livin' the Blues: Memoirs of a Black Journalist and Poet , is apparently in print. The above is from the editorial reviews on the Amazon page for the book.

A semi-connected friend said that the pubbie ticket would be McCain and Condi. I wouldn't doubt it...
Join the Ron Paul Revolution That alone would have been enough to earn him the label "communist". Even Martin Luther King was called that. The attempt to prove that King was a Communist was in keeping with the feeling of many segregationists that blacks in the South were happy with their lot but had been stirred up by "communists" and "outside agitators."
'He will make Cheney look like Gandhi.' The worst John Wayne movie I've ever seen, Big Jim McLain (1952), has him as an FBI special agent fighting the Commies on Hawaii in the early 1950's.

There exists in reality two types of communists. The one believes in a system of equality and collectivism operated in the best interests of the people at large, which has never existed as far as I know. The other is a realist that takes advantage of the people at large to such an extent that in most instances finds himself forced to have to kill a bunch of em. This has been the practice of communism which is far removed from the ideology as it is explained to optimists.

Opportunists are always close at hand. Totalitarianism, whether from the left or the right is always a disaster. The USSR was evil, the Civil Rights movement was good. The USSR was Communist, the Civil Rights movement was exercising the 1st Amendment.
'He will make Cheney look like Gandhi.' Not to mention that former Trotskyites write for WND and just about every other neoconservative website and magazine.
Typical projection tactic.
'He will make Cheney look like Gandhi.' Cyni, Communism doesn't, nor has it ever, existed. the politically trendy among us have dismissed the 50 million corpses that Uncle Joe piled last century up as a mere false paradigm. Please, get with the times.
Dont forget, Karl Marx was a Lincoln supporter, even had his agents in the officer corp of the Yankees.... (Ever wonder why Lincoln and FDR are our most revered Presidents?)
And McCain? Blah blah blah blah blahblahblah. Dancing to the D vs R tune...they all crooks and liars.
"Tune in next week to see if doing nothing helps." -Deek Jackson
Not me, I don't dance to the Ds vs. Rs ... I expatriated long ago ... we agree ... they're all crooks and liars.

And his favorite economist was Ricardo, the father of free trade. (see the Corn Laws 1848)
Yes, and communists are evil, evil, eeeeevvvvviilllll evil evil evil..... Which is why the good capitalists of America outsourced most of our manufacturing base to.... communist China. Because communism is just so damned evil evil evil, don'cha know. *sigh* - what are we supposed to believe anymore? Here's the bottom line, the Republicans are perfectly willing to totally sell us out to communists to make a buck for themselves. Oh, but now because a Democratic candidate supposedly had a *gasp* communist *choke* for a "mentor", we're supposed to fall down and yell and scream and do everything possible to elect yet another Republican shill for the oligarchs who will then turn around and.... ship even more jobs to communist China. Funny thing: I just can't bring myself to care any more. My "worry about commies" muscle got all swole up and busted years ago... funny how that works.
It's easy to recognize why Obama is so popular. He's a commie.

Yet Kristol himself did more than merely study Trotsky: he was a member of a dissident Trotskyist group, the Workers Party (later the Independent Socialist League), led by Max Shachtman.

What makes a good capitalist is his ability to make money - to make/buy as cheap as possible and sell as much as dear as possible. If sending jobs to Mexico or China makes more money, then only a bad capitalist would have second thoughts about it. Being a good capitalist is not the same as being a good person or a good citizen.

#25. To: Rupert_Pupkin (#24)
Should the manufacturing facilities be over run by rioters and burned to the ground ... or taken over by a hostile government the people that you just called good capitalists will have proven to be fools. America has been a safehaven for good capitalists, protected by the blood and guts of good capitalist's children. Those choosing to sell out to slave labor may be capitalists but they're not good ones.

I disagree. Henry Ford is one example of an American First capitalist who made sure every employee (Americans all) earned enough to live well *and* be able to buy a Ford. When INTERNATIONALIST Capitalists subscribed to globalism and Free Trade (see Marx and Ricardo) what was good morphed into the mess we have today which is some unnamed economic system with greed and internationalism at it's core. I guess globalism is a decent word for what used to be capitalism.

That makes Ford a good American - a good citizen first, a good capitalist a distant second. Pure capitalism is about profit, costs to nation and society be damned. The globalist capitalism we have today is just a purer, more distilled form of capitalism than the nationalist models of 100 years ago. Walmartism is more profitable than Fordism, so the smart capitalists have taken up Walmartism.

I still don't think Adam Smith's 'market' was ever intended to be global. It was to serve a village, a community. Global capitalism isn't the model he wrote about. This mess is in search of slave labor and low wages, qualities that made even Mr. Scrooge an outcast among his peers and created a social pressure on him to change.

What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several Communist front organizations," Kincaid said. "What's the matter with communists? Some of my best friends are communists."___FDR This article is a red herring. When The Ruskies rolled into Afghanistan in 1979 they traveled in trucks built in a plant that was constructed because of Jimmy Carter. And, despite the fact that we supposedly never shared technology with them the Russian space shuttle is a carbon copy of ours! (except for the absence of Bose sound systems, mini bars, vibrating beds and other creature comforts denied to the prole cosmonauts) If travel restrictions prevented Russian diplomats from touring aerospace plants they'd simply send friendlies in wearing special shoes with sticky soles, then analyze the metals and polymer composites picked up during walking tours. If you doubt that we helped the commies then ask yourself this: "Why didn't the FBI wait and nail Robert Hanssen's contact, the person who was supposed to pick up the bag of goodies that Hanssen was delivering? "Ah gee, boss, we all went to lunch at the same time and we musta missed the guy, so, we arrested Hanssen but didn't nail his contact." Suuuure, they did. The Cold War was a blessing to military contractors, and many folks in and around govt did what they could to help the Soviets remain a viable "bogey person threat". And, the five percentile in the former Soviet Union also used the threat to remain in power and to control their people. Both countries and systems of govt (state capitalism and private capitalism) were two sides of the same swindle to control us, and the same banksters, industrialists and "statesmen" moved easily in and out of the west and behind the iron and bamboo curtains. While Rockefeller was loading his oil tankers in HaiPhong harbor during the Vietnam war (which is why no declaration of war was ever made-it would have prevented this and cut into his profits, and why didn't the commies attack his oil tankers anyway?) Armand Hammer was on diplomatic, humanitarian and peace missions to Moscow. Who cares if Barack Obama keeps a red in his council? Hell, we had them in the Manhattan Project, The JPL, Livermore Labs and the state department all along. Just who do people think the Union of Concerned Scientists are, anyway? And, if there are any secrets that the reds didn't already know I'd be very surprised.
In Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father," he repeatedly refers to his friend and adviser as "Frank."
