Barbara West Asks about the Skeletons in Senator Obama's Closet

"Obama supporters point out that plenty of Americans flirt with radical ideologies in college, only to join the political mainstream later in life. But Obama, who made a point of noting how 'carefully' he chose his friends in college, also chose to launch his political career in the Chicago living room of Ayers, a domestic terrorist who in 2002 proclaimed: 'I am a Marxist.'

Also present at that meeting was Ayers' wife, fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, who once gave a speech extolling socialism, communism and 'Marxism-Leninism.'"---FOX News (10-28-08)

Last Thursday, a T.V. reporter for WFTV-Channel 9 named Barbara West asked Senator Joe Biden if Senator Obama is a Marxist. Here is the video and commentary about this interview from the Orlando Sentinel (10-28-08). The Obama campaign is retaliating by refusing to give WFRTV-Channel 9 any more interviews with spokesmen from the Obama campaign. In other words, the Obama Campaign doesn't want to be pinned down about Senator Obama's political philosophy. They don't even want to defend Senator Obama's own words. The Obama Campaign calls facts they don't want to talk about "distractions" from the "real issues" that the "American people" care about.

Well, I'm one of the people, and I want to know if Obama is a Marxist.

The O'Reilly Factor (10-28-08) has a transcript of the Biden interview and an interview with WFTV-Channel 9 reporter Barbara West.

Barbara West made Senator Biden pretty hot under the collar, but if you read Senator Obama's book Dreams from My Father and look at his financial support of organizations started by the Maoist terrorist Bill Ayers, the Maoist Mike Klonsky, anti-Semites, and religious radicals like Rev. Wright, this is a perfectly good question.

This money was supposed to be spent to improve the education of Chicago's children, but their test scores did not improve. It appears to have been used to indoctrinate children politically, not to educate them. Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dorhn are terrorists who wrote the revolutionary manifesto Prairie Fire (1974).

A FOX News (10-28-08) article reports on Senator Obama's interest in Marxism as described in his memoir Dreams from My Father and other reporting.

The writer Jack Cashill believes that the Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers may have ghostwritten Dreams.

Senator Obama himself regretted that "the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society."

Listen to Senator Obama's own words.
