Northwest Indiana Discussion

Well what have we here? Obama's Hawaii mentor from his dope smoking days of reading communist poetry ....none other than Frank Marshall Davis. Hmmm....ole Frankie's got ties to Chicago and the Communist Party. One of them is Obama's buddy....Vernon Jarrett. You all know him. He's Valerie Jarretts father in law. Not to mention a host of others. Birds of a feather, flock together.

Comedian,

Chicago has been a hot bed for Communism in the US for more than 100 years. The University of Chicago has had an active group since the 30s and many of them still live in Hyde Park and Chicago. I would not be surprised if a number of Obama's neighbors in Hyde Park have been involved in the Communist Party of the USA, Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, or Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights.

Great book on the subject is Red Chicago: American Communism at it's grassroots.

May Day, a sign of International Workers Day and a Communist holiday, was actually started because of the Haymarket Affair in Chicago in 1886. Strikers of the McCormick Harvest Machine Corp gathered at Haymarket Square (Randolph and Des Plaines). When police arrived to break up the strike, a bomb was thrown into the police line killing one police officer. The Police opened fire and 8 police officers and 4 protesters. The majority of the officers killed were judged to have died from friendly fire in the nighttime confusion after the bomb blast. The Chicago Police Monument was there until it was blown up by the Weatherman in October 1968 and again in October 1970 (after it was repaired). Ironically by the Weathermen (Obama tie in with William Ayers).

As for the tie in's of Labor to the Communist Party they go back to that time frame as well. Both the AFL and the CIO (before they merged.) have strong communist influences and even had a US Government sponsored tour of the Soviet Union and meetings with Stalin in the early 1930s. The Unions and the Department of Agriculture started to form Cooperative farms saying that outright ownership of farms should be greatly restricted and efficiency of government farming was superior.

Chicago communism has also had strong ties to the Black Power Movement, the Anti War movement, any Labor movement in Chicago.

I would venture that there are not too many democrat politicians in Chicago that do not have ties to them actually, seeing that they tend to be a very active and wealthy group of far left liberals.

Big F'n Douchebag?

Indeed.

Then there is Mattlap, who at times has the most incredible flashes of brilliance and some excellent posts filled with useful knowledge, and then at other times he just can't let go.

This is one of those useful posts filled with facts and knowledge that everyone should read.

You're one of my all-time favorites Marine...but...Lappdog can heartily gobble feces. Bit of yellow streak in this young man.....he knows exactly what I'm talking about.

Mattlapp,

I actually do know a lot about what your talking about. There is a definate link between organized labor and socialism, communism. They use the middle class to destroy themselves. Then you got people like edge who act as if it's no BFD. Edge sat and defended Rev. Wright's comments on Goddamn America under the pretext that is was taken out of context. Even when it was proven it was not...edge still believed it....hook, line and sinker. I think it's a damn shame that people are willing to turn a blind eye to what is really going on and who this man is. They don't even care. Another example, edge could care less if Sotomayor is a racist because calling her out on that will (he claims) just ensure more Dem. victories. All one has to do is watch MSNBC. It spews hate 24/7 and condems this country and all it's greatness. To me it is a BFD!
