A
striking clash between those who feel a profound duty to report that
the young Obama was nurtured by Marxists, socialists, and Communists and
those who think it is a better idea to erase this information from the
public record is on display in two current books. One book provided key
politically significant details of a heated debate I had with the young
Marxist-Leninist Obama over Christmas break
1980. The other book only confirmed that young Obama and his roommate
were both in my vicinity at the time. The gap between how Paul Kengor
covered Obama's Christmas break in The Communist and how David Maraniss covered this same moment in Barack Obama: The Story is chilling.
As
an eyewitness to young Obama's Marxist-Leninist ideology, I count
myself among those who think it is our duty to report the truth about
young Obama, especially if it helps us understand the persistent,
contemporary influence of Frank Marshall Davis, the Communist who became
young Barack Obama's mentor. I do not think it is any exaggeration to
suggest that in the long run, the mainstream media's failure to confront
the reality of young Obama's ideological extremism is almost as
important than the reality of Obama's tenure in office.
Look.
