Obama Ridicules ‘Socialist’ Charge, But He Admitted Seeking Out Marxist Professors and Socialist Conferences
Barack Obama is mocking the charges that he promotes socialist ideology: Obama ridicules McCain charge he’s socialist.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Barack Obama accused Republican rival John McCain on Wednesday of stooping to low tactics by labeling the Democrat a socialist. “I don’t know what’s next,” Obama, the presidential candidate, said at an outdoor rally in North Carolina. “By the end of the week, he’ll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”
But if he really has nothing to do with socialism, why did the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America strongly recommend Obama for Congressman? New Ground 69 - Chicago Democratic Socialists of America:
Barak Obama is serving only his second term in the Illinois State Senate so he might be fairly charged with ambition, but the same might have be said of Bobby Rush when he ran against Congressman Charles Hayes. Obama also has put in time at the grass roots, working for five years as a community organizer in Harlem and in Chicago. When Obama participated in a 1996 UofC YDS Townhall Meeting on Economic Insecurity, much of what he had to say was well within the mainstream of European social democracy.
If anyone can recognize socialism, it would be the Democratic Socialists of America.
Of course, Obama himself admitted openly that he attended “socialist conferences” at Cooper Union, while he attended Columbia University:
He also admitted that he sought out Marxist professors:
And now he’s pulling the socialist wool over America’s eyes.
