Obama Admits He Carefully Chose Marxist Professors as Friends

Why does it matter the article site if it's a DIRECT QUOTE from Obama?

It's not "made up" or twisted, it's his exact words from his memoir. Trying to hide the issue by attacking the site is ridiculous

Hey I didn't say anything, bruv. Just predicting/making a joke. I have no interest in this. If you want to take your thread that seriously, sorry for bothering you.

sry :cheers: It's just irritating when posting anything related to Fox news (even if its not even a political article) and people just disregard it even if it's simply a reposted AP article hosted by them LOL
 
"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father." "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."
"In search of some inspiration, I went to hear Kwame Toure, formerly Stokely Carmichael of Black Panther fame, speak at Columbia," Obama wrote in "Dreams," which he published in 1995. "At the entrance to the auditorium, two women, one black, one Asian, were selling Marxist literature."

This is a big deal? He tried to fit in while at college, big woop.
 
He is associated with MARXISTS and still is, and preaches the same rhetoric, this is the issue


VOTE BOB BARR 2008

Clearly us Americans actually voting next week have no say in the situation....its up to the Euros on here to choose who will lead America...
 
obama the commie will take away your freedoms

awesome.

You're proving that you're one of the bottom of the barrel, desperate republicans who says slanderous things about Obama in an attempt at last minute derailment as part of a pathetic and desperate, hate mongering campaign. If we wanted to read this crap, we'd refresh townhall.com or watch Fox News. This is not news, and you're not a whistle blower. Go away.

Even educated libertarians and republicans despise this kind of rumor spreading rubbish. All you're doing is proving your ignorance.
 
Ayers, others like him? This man has stated on video his support for the redistribution of wealth, and has commented that "it is a tragedy" that the supreme court wasnt more radical in forcing the redistribution of wealth. That is marxism at its heart.
Limited agreement with one part out of many in the communist manifesto does not a Marxist make.

That is the one part weve mentioned so far...hang on, this thread is still young...
 
I suppose he wants all industry to be nationalised too? Maybe worker's unions to be the basis of government? Oh I know, he plans to ban religious expression!

Nationalisation of the banks as well.

Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State

Democratic support for the FCC and support of changing public radio to force owners to play liberal talking points.

Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

The democrat supported Death Tax

A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

Obama wants to increase income taxes, rather than smartly supporting a national sales tax to replace income tax.
 
I can't believe you buy into this bullshit RT.
 
Maybe he wanted to have friends with whom he could have a discussion with.
 
That does not constitute Marxism...

Anyhow im off to bed, gnight and don't think you've won :p
 
I can't believe you buy into this bullshit RT.

I cant believe all the Europeans on here who have seen their country fall so far from former greatness because of Democrats (Im looking at you, Britain) are so gaw-gaw over Obama...

BUY INTO what?

Are you trying to tell me that the points I listed are not marxist?


I pulled them precisely from the "Ten Planks of Communism"


I didn't just rattle them off as things "I think are commie LOL"
 
700 BILLION DOLLAR BAILOUT. Thats a socialist move, and the country still stands. Unbelievable isnt it?

Don't you realize what this did? Rather than letting the economy correct itself we have just prolonged an even worse disaster. The future is not bright because of this.

Banks are hoarding this money anyway and aren't really getting the credit rolling again. Poor poor decision.
 
Is Obama's tax plans (the only thing that can possibly be construed as socialist) going to destroy the economy like the bailout did? No. So my point was... why is everyone making such a huge ****ing stink over this, when nobody did anything about the horrible, horrible idea of a bailout?




I'll tell you why. Its because hes black.
 
Expanding your horizons and knowledge of political and human ideologies in college is obviously grounds for ruining a candidate, right? Wow, you've really uncovered something here! Obama is a Marxist, traitorous spy!

You do realize this stuff is coming up as part of a last ditch effort within the McCain campaign to win over the people who are still terrified that everyone is a communist? He's appealing to Joe Retirement home because Joe Plumber has become the biggest joke of a campaign strategy in the history of presidential elections.
 
I'm afraid McCain could win the election because of this.

Seems more likely to me that white guilt would improve Obama's chances of being elected...the only racists left in America nowadays besides the KKK and Neo-Nazis are actually blacks who hate white people for.....
 
McCain can't even run a well organized campaign. What makes him think he can run an entire country? His campaign is pitiful and far from noble. Precisely what his term of presidency would likely be like.

You couldn't be more wrong about racism, It's very well and alive in America. I can't believe people actually think this. Just because you don't go around in KKK robes or openly state that you hate ******s doesn't mean you're not racist.

I suggest looking up the difference between de jure and de facto racism, for starters.

How is his campaign far from noble? He hasnt said a single negative think about Obama, while Obama slings mud like its going out of style...

If you want to go that far, everybody is racist...are you saying that you dont see a person of a particular skin color coming towards you and you dont think a negative thought or wonder what they will do? Bullshit. Its coded into our brains...

I'll admit, I am racist, but only slightly towards blacks...most of my racism goes towards hispanic illegals because of bad experiences I have personally had with them...

Not sure which election you're following.
 
ITT Republicans blowhards yet again make themselves look like fools by equating taxism to Marxism. Any tax can be described as a 'redistribution of wealth', since it claims wealth from one party with the explicit guarantee that it will be used for the benefit of all. Is any country with taxes Marxist? The fact that your partisanship makes you swallow wholesale campaign propaganda and scaremongering like this is a stain on your country.
I cant believe all the Europeans on here who have seen their country fall so far from former greatness because of Democrats (Im looking at you, Britain) are so gaw-gaw over Obama...
I can't believe you think you have a clue what you're talking about. Go and educate yourself. Europe is not a country. There are no 'Democrats' in Britain, unless you mean the Liberal Democrats who have never been in power. Both of the two main parties in Britain are Right of centre in their politics.

Don't know where to start. Ooh! I know, I'll start by deciding that this hilarious post isn't worth the effort it takes to dismantle.
 
Can we get at least one intelligent, well informed conservative republican on these boards? I think that would be a good learning experience for us all.
 
Communism? In mah country!? DEATH TO THE BLACK COM* oh wait there's my brain

The Republican party is a sinking shit, support Libertarianism.
 
Can we at least do it without making ridiculous insinuations towards politicians we don't like?

The fantastically ironic thing about all this is that were he to be seriously grilled on the issue it would become clear that not even McCain believes Obama is a Marxist, or even a Socialist. If he really thought so, he wouldn't ever have been backed into a corner where he felt he needed to reassure his base that they 'have nothing to fear' from an Obama presidency. Nevertheless, his campaign makes attacks which are specifically calculated to scaremonger and make ignorant people believe just that; Obama used the phrase 'spread the wealth around!' Obama pals around with terrorists! Obama associated with Marxist professors! and so forth.

If this was a criticism that stood up to scrutiny, the McCain campaign wouldn't have to make it in an implicit fashion. They could just come out and say it. If he really believed what he implies about Obama's Marxist or indeed Socialist tendencies, and if he had the arguments to back it up, there'd be no hesitation in telling all the social conservatives who still harbour doubts about McCain that they have plenty to fear from an Obama presidency. As it is, they know that would be suicide, so they continue to just sow the seed of doubt in order to win over the irrational, and for the rational people well... I don't know what they can bring to bear other than bleating about big emotive single issues like foreign policy, guns and abortion, hoping again that doubt will win over some people. In a nutshell that's why I think McCain can't possibly win the election through anything other than voter racism, foul play, or some combination of both. The ammunition just isn't there otherwise.
