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.
It doesn’t take much imagination to believe this story. Mr. Obama is far too socialistic for me and I consider myself a lifelong democrat. I think many out there are like me too. We’ll know in a couple of weeks.
