A Marxist Obama...Facinating Insight Into Obama's Formative Influences
#3
The source of this revelation that Obama was a "junior Marxist" (hohoho) is the David Horowitz Freedom Center, eh? :aetsch:

Horowitz himself was a "junior Marxist" before he became a far right, um, propagandist. :bootyshake:

A cursory wiki glance at Horowitz throws up:

Quote:Career
In the late 1960s, Horowitz was in London working for the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation[12] where he studied under Ralph Miliband and Isaac Deutscher. In 1971, Horowitz wrote a biography of Deutscher.[13][14][15]

Horowitz then wrote The Free World Colossus: A Critique of American Foreign Policy in the Cold War and, in the early 1970s, became an editor at the New Left magazine, Ramparts.

Horowitz was a supporter of Huey P. Newton, and raised money for the Black Panther Party. Later, he cited those experiences as catalysts for reassessing his views that took him from the political left to the political right. In December 1974, Betty Van Patter, a bookkeeper who had worked at Ramparts, was murdered.[16] While her murder is unsolved, Horowitz alleges that the Panthers were responsible for her death, motivated, he states, by the desire to stop Van Patter from revealing the party's financial corruption. Horowitz's allegations relating to the Panthers' involvement in Van Patter's death are unproven.
