"One notable critic of Harry
Truman was a man named Frank Marshall Davis, a writer
who lived in Honolulu by way of Chicago.
He accused the man from
Missouri [Truman] of actions, “aimed to deceive the
American people into supporting a new world war, if need
be, to bail Big Business out of a depression.” Davis
also railed against the Marshall Plan to rebuild
Europe—the greatest humanitarian aid effort in
history—as akin to racism and slavery. |
|
| In a
piece entitled “How Our Democracy Looks To Oppressed
Peoples” written in May of 1949, Davis wrote: “For a
nation that calls itself the champion of democracy, our
stupendous stupidity is equaled only by our mountainous
ego. Our actions at home and abroad are making American
democracy synonymous with oppression instead of
freedom.” |

Why the emphasis on Frank
Marshall Davis? Well, first he was affiliated with the
CPUSA and an unabashed admirer of the USSR. He believed
that it was “only the Soviet Union which has abolished
racism and color prejudice.” Of course, this would all
barely warrant an asterisk in history, but for the fact
that Frank became a mentor of the man who would become
President of the United States -- Barack Obama. And as Kengor correctly opines, “He almost certainly would have
instructed Obama in
the glory of the Bolshevik experiment.” |

much of President Obama’s tendency to apologize for
America in context. |

Some will certainly
dismiss all of this as “guilt by association” and “red
herring” stuff -- but as Dr. Kengor thoroughly documents in
his book this is exactly what the Communists desired and
designed. How better to manipulate dupes?" |
