The Obama Buddy Series: Meet Mike Klonsky

Another Communist in Obama’s Orb
Meet Michael Klonsky, Obama's "social justice" education expert.

By Andrew C. McCarthy

The mainstream press steadfastly refuses to delve into Barack Obama’s radicalism, his Leftist revolutionary collaboration with self-identified communists from Frank Marshall Davis to Bill Ayers. The McCain campaign, moreover, has contributed mightily to the whitewash by ineptly seizing on the issue’s least important aspect: Obama’s abject dishonesty about the depth of his relationships with committed Leftists — e.g., the portrayal of Ayers as just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”

(Petrified of being smeared as a racist, McCain has never mentioned Davis, whom Obama identifies only as “Frank” in his memoir. And, of course, utterance of Jeremiah Wright’s name is verboten in McCain circles, notwithstanding that his Trinity Church, where Obama was a 20-year member, is a font of Marxist Black Liberation Theology and thus critical to our understanding of Obama’s invocations of “change” and “spreading the wealth.”)

With what little media oxygen there has been sucked out by the largely uninformative discussion of Ayers (and his wife and Weather Underground ally, Bernadine Dohrn) — in which the mantra “unrepentant terrorist” has been a pale substitute for the critical matter of the Ayers’s ideology that Obama plainly shares — much has been missed. Significantly, that includes another key Obama contact, Mike Klonsky.

Here’s what you need to know. Klonsky is an unabashed communist whose current mission is to spread Marxist ideology in the American classroom.

Obama funded him to the tune of nearly $2 million. Obama, moreover, gave Klonsky a broad platform to broadcast his ideas: a “social justice” blog on the official Obama campaign website.

To be clear, as it seems always necessary to repeat when Obamaniacs, in their best Saul Alinsky tradition, shout down the opposition: This is not about guilt by association. The issue is not that Obama knows Klonsky … or Ayers … or Dohrn … or Wright … or Rashid Khalidi …

The issue is that Obama promoted and collaborated with these anti-American radicals. The issue is that he shared their ideology.

 

So, snorton has been reincarnated?

 

More smoke seeping under the medias' door but they refuse to look for a fire.

 

Do you know how ridiculous you look?

Guilty of anything? His inner circle is a who's who of communists and islamic radicals. His money and time is spent promoting and fostering these radical ideals and agendas.

All communists don't walk around in green fatigues with a hammer and sickle embroidered on the pockets but I suspect had Obama did you'd find a way to justify it and dismiss it.

The fact that you find nothing wrong with Obama's history and associations is quite telling.

 

Telling of what?

You keep throwing around these words like communist and socialist and have no idea the meaning of them.

Why don't you go look at the person you are going to vote for and tell me how good of a person he is..

If you vote for either McCain or Obama you don't love this country in my eyes.

 

Why are you showing up in every anti-Obama thread? I bet when you get inside that booth you don't pull the Paul lever.

 

Snorton could cook...

 

Care to come watch.

My vote comes with integrity unlike others here.
