And the Hits Keep on Coming … Barack Obama Appeared at 1996 Event Hosted By Socialist Group in Chicago

 

Question: Why would someone appear at an event hosted by a Socialist group if one was not one themselves?

File this story under if it walks like a socialist and talks like a socialist and has an ad for a socialist event … it must be a socialist. As reported at the Buzz Feed and the Gateway Pundit, Barack Obama headlined a Democrat Socialists of America town hall meeting in Chicago in 1996. I can only imagine how Obama and his minions will spin this.

Obama was listed on a panel sponsored by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), University of Chicago Democrats, and University of Chicago DSA. He also supported gay marriage back then.

Things that make you go hmm … I guess it was just an oversight by the MSM that they never came across this flier when Barack Obama should have been vetted in 2008. The Gateway Pundit opines, “So, really… Can we call him a socialist now?”  More from Weasel Zippers, “And all this time we’ve been lectured up and down by pundits on both the right and left how it’s wrong to call Obama a Socialist”.

      Stuff like this should bother American Voters much more than some School Boy Prank Romney pulled in HIGH SCHOOL.

      Gee, in one of Barry’s Memoirs recently published, he is quoted as bragging about a Weed Club he joined called CHOM or something like that. He also told of being called an “Interceptor”; meaning he was known for intercepting the joint when it was being passed around; in addition to again BRAGGING about being called a “Ceiling Hitter” which, as Barry explained it, was when his College Buddies were in a Car, smoking tons of weed—when it arose to the ceiling- he would be known for putting his head up there to inhale the last of the collected fumes from the ceiling of car. After he Fish-bowled, of course.

      We all know of hundreds of people who smoked Weed in College, but seems as if Barry actually was a major stoner who BRAGGED about it and even joined a “group” known for their expertise in it. Wow, must have been those Community Organizer skills in their infancy.

      Grabbing an extra hit is extremely obnoxious behavior. As I recall from my extreme youth.

      If you google “DSA Obama 1996″ you can see lots of references to people discussing this in 2008. For whatever reason, “The Right” decided this wasn’t worth making an issue out of back then.

      If you count Fox as part of the MSM, then sure…but I would think that if there was anything to this event that would have hurt Obama, then it was known to the Glen Beck and Hannity types in 2008; and they sat on it too.

      [...] White House since Jimmy Carter.” Jindal might have wanted to include Obama was also the first “Socialist” President ever elected. Obama’s comment regarding the private sector economy is fine might go [...]
