This is definitely one of the best articles regarding Obama’s radicalism that I’ve seen. Share it with your e-mail list, especially your Liberal friends.

Suppose it was revealed that the pastor who had married George and Laura Bush, baptized their two daughters and ministered to their spiritual needs for 20 years was a raving white supremacist who, from the pulpit, preached the separation of the races, claimed that the promiscuity of African-Americans had quickened the spread of AIDS and mused about how America might be improved if black people were sent back to Africa.

Or what if Mr. Bush, while president, had appointed an admitted neo-Nazi to a senior advisory post within his administration, a man who openly endorsed the use of child labour in Third World sweatshops and accused all Muslims of being terrorists or terrorist sympathizers hellbent on the destruction of Western civilization?

Or how about former vice-president Dick Cheney, the American left’s favourite dark prince? What if it were revealed he had been one of eight members of a foundation board that had also included an ex-mercenary who, while never convicted of an assassination, nonetheless boasted about of having shot at several Third World leaders and lamented aloud how he’d wished he’d done more?

The leftist blogosphere would never believe that Messrs. Bush and Cheney were unaware of the radical positions taken by these associates. Lefty bloggers like Daily Kos and Moveon.orgwould see these affiliations as proof positive of a secret Evangelical- fascist agenda submerged deep within the administration bent on provoking wars of aggression for commercial gain. And the bloggers would be cheered from the sidelines by CNN, the New York Times, CNBC, CBS and National Public Radio.

Now what if on top of all this, it was revealed that George Bush had once done work for an organization that then stuffed ballot boxes to get him elected and routinely counselled clients on how to cheat on their taxes?

Barack Obama is guilty of associations similar to all of these less than eight months into his administration.

The most recent disclosures are about Acorn, the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, of which Mr. Obama was not only once a prominent member, but which he had hoped to involve in, among other things, next year’s U. S. census that will help determine the number of Congressional districts in Democratfriendly inner cities.

Several Acorn employees have recently been caught on tape counselling apparent inner city residents on how to cheat on their taxes, and more than a dozen others have been charged with submitting fraudulent voter registrations on behalf of the Democrats in last fall’s presidential election.

Most members of the American media are wilfully blind to the possibility of a pattern in all this. They refuse to see how the President’s past associations might reveal a reflexively radical nature Mr. Obama has worked had to disguise.

The minister who performed Mr. Obama’s marriage to Michelle, Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, who baptized their two girls and was the family’s pastor for 20 years, of course has said many famous and inflammatory things. Best known is Rev. Wright’s call for blacks to sing God Damn America, rather than God Bless America. Even since Mr. Obama’s inauguration, though, his former preacher has continued to blame plots by whites and Jews for America’s troubles.

Then there is Van Jones, Mr. Obama’s so-called “green jobs czar,” who resigned earlier this month after it was discovered that he was a self-described “rowdy communist” and black nationalist who had as recently as four years ago signed a “Truther” petition. (A Truther is someone who believes the Bush White House or CIA were really behind the 9/11 attacks.) On the night after the 9/11 attacks, Mr. Jones had helped organize a vigil at which speakers denounced America, expressed sympathy for “America’s victims” around the world and stated their solidarity with Muslims.

And, of course, Mr. Obama had sat for three years on the eight-person board of Chicago’s Woods Fund with William Ayers, an unrepentant ’60s radical and former member of the Weather Underground, who still brags about setting bombs in laboratories and businesses with connections to the Vietnam war.

On far less evidence, most Western journalists were able to convince themselves that George Bush was the most dangerous, illegitimate president ever. Yet they give Barack Obama a free ride.
