Thread: Newspaper Shows Obama Belonged to Socialist Party?

(I don't know if this is true or not. If it is true, why is Fox News not reporting it.......)

JERUSALEM – Evidence has emerged that Sen. Barack Obama belonged to a socialist political party that sought to elect members to public office with the aim of moving the Democratic Party far leftward to ultimately form a new political party with a socialist agenda.

Several blogs, including Powerline, previously documented that while running for the Illinois state Senate in 1996 as a Democrat, Obama actively sought and received the endorsement of the socialist-oriented New Party, with some blogs claiming Obama was a member of the controversial party.

The New Party, formed by members of the Democratic Socialists for America and leaders of an offshoot of the Community Party USA, was an electoral alliance that worked alongside the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. The New Party's aim was to help elect politicians to office who espouse its policies.

Among New Party members was linguist and radical activist Noam Chomsky.

Obama's campaign has responded to the allegations, denying the presidential candidate was ever a member of the New Party.

But the New Zeal blog dug up print copies of the New Party News, the party's official newspaper, which show Obama posing with New Party leaders, list him as a New Party member and include quotes from him.

The party's Spring 1996 newspaper boasted: "New Party members won three other primaries this Spring in Chicago: Barack Obama (State Senate), Michael Chandler (Democratic Party Committee) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary). The paper quoted Obama saying "these victories prove that small 'd' democracy can work."

The newspaper lists other politicians it endorsed who were not members but specifies Obama as a New Party member.

I vaguely remember some ex-Soviet official - maybe Lenin or Khrushchev - that said how most Americans are already socialist, they just don't realize it. The sad fact is that many people don't want to deal with any larger life choice than whether to eat at McDonalds or Burger King.

Well, this isn't surprising. There's a LOT of damning evidence against "his majesty" that isn't reported by the msm - and never will be.

This smells a little bit. Where is the entire article? Who wrote it? And it sounds that the rest of the article may prove that this New Party could claim victory if they have endorsed a candidate that won--doesn't necessarily mean the candidate is a member of that party. Granted I know nothing about Chicago politics.

Thanks. but page 2 shows the photo of the winners and describes them as NP endorsed candidates, not NP members.
