 merrie says: Is it possible that Obama did not know who Davis was when he wrote his book, Dreams From My Father, first published in 1995? The communists knew who "Frank" was, and they know who Obama is. One academic who travels in communist circles understands the significance of the Davis-Obama relationship. Professor Gerald Horne, a contributing editor of the Communist Party journal Political Affairs, talked about it during a speech last March at the reception of the Communist Party USA archives at the Tamiment Library at New York University.

Like the blind men and the elephant, professional advocates such as Cliff Kincaid (A.I.M.) and Trevor Loudon (New Zealand) only recognize that small facet of Davis’ life that seems to confirm their agenda in smearing Barack Obama. Not content with stacking available evidence, they are prone to creating false evidence in order to exaggerate Davis’ purported influence over Obama. Such disinformation includes: - Kincaid: According to Gerald Horne (CPUSA linked article), Davis “became the young man's mentor” and influenced Obama’s “career moves” (Horne said that Davis gave Obama career advice, rather than influencing his career moves, and did not use the term “mentor.”) - Loudon: “the... |
