This has got to be the most pitiful and repulsive pile of excrement ever written.
And yet, all of my mixed race, black/white classmates throughout my youth, some of whom I am still in contact with, were the product of very culturally specific unions. They were always the offspring of a white mother, (in my circles, she was usually Jewish, but elsewhere not necessarily) and usually a highly educated black father. And how had these two come together at a time when it was neither natural nor easy for such relationships to flourish? Always through politics. No, not the young Republicans. Usually the Communist Youth League. Or maybe a different arm of the CPUSA. But, for a white woman to marry a black man in 1958, or 60, there was almost inevitably a connection to explicit Communist politics. (During the Clinton Administration we were all introduced to then U. of Pennsylvania Professor Lani Guinier - also a half black/half Jewish, red diaper baby.)
That's right... Not only is he a black jew, but also a Communist. The piece (of what I won't say) goes on to demand real journalists (this author clearly has never met one), go and find out the REAL TRUTH about Obama's heritage.
Can't you just smell the desperation, fear, and unbridled bigotry? I haven't smelled anything like it since last summer at the 4H fair.
The 'net is plastered with this kind of crapola. Here's one from a Yahoo finance stock message board that has nothing to do with politics per se:
Re: Who are you voting for ??? Obama or McCain... 20-Feb-08 02:16 pmHussein Obama is an extreme leftist who embraces Communist in its lowest form. The only ideas he has promoted are Socialistic at best. It will be a sad day in America if this terrorist loving smooth-talker get elected.

That the sweep of history would seem to show that the citizenry of the former communist states we once violently opposed have embraced democracy and capitalism and modernity, while the fundamentalist Islamicists we formerly supported are now our bitter enemies seems to be an irony lost on the neanderthal knuckledragger crackpots of the far right.
More recently, Investors Business Daily, a financial newspaper with an editorial "bent" like the WSJ, ran an editorial about alleged Obama volunteers working out of a make shift headquarters in Houston with flags of "Che" and Cuba hanging in it. Here is the link
The right-wing "fear factory" will be churning out the baloney and it will be necessary to counter it- and knock it down quickly.
