Even in the internet age, the Associated Press has a 36+ day delay on news.
The Associated Press has discovered that Barack Obama has somewhat questionable associations with bad people.
WHAT?!?!?! SAY IT AINT SO!!!

How is it that the Associated Press just found out about Barack Obama’s “questionable” associations? Surely I wasn’t hallucinating when Sean Hannity was screaming about them for months. Or the other hundreds of bloggers and pundits and anchors who occasionally recognized one association after another, but never linked any of them together as perhaps relevant connections when considering whom to elect President of the United States.
This Barry Bunch has only recently added a new family member, corrupt Governor Rod Blagojevich, but the other have been there all along. Tony Rezko helped Obama buy his current home in Chicago and helped him fundraise before being convicted. Bill Ayers helped Obama get his political career started and hired him, after his terrorist organization bombed the Pentagon. Jeremiah Wright married Barack and his wife and baptized his children, before, during, and after yelling racist, anti-American nonsense at the church Obama chose. Then there’s Michael Pfleger, Rashid Khalidi, Emil Jones, and perhaps the worst of all, the “semi-admitted”* pedophile, childhood mentor of Obama, Frank Marshall Davis (click here to learn about Davis in a report I wrote on Obama connections).
Each of these associations alone could be explained, but not all of them combined. America has no idea what they did on November 4.
* It was pointed out to me that Davis’s writing were “semi-autobiographical” as opposed to autobiographical. So the technical term will be “semi-admitted pedophile” or perhaps “semi-pedophile.”
Obama wasn’t mentored by Frank Marshall Davis. This is disinformation, which ignores the fact that as an older teen, Obama didn’t even visit Davis for three years. Obama’s book indicates he was family friend whom he only visited occasionally. A disinformation campaign, spearheaded by Cliff Kincaid’s “Accuracy In Media” (AIM), exaggerates Davis’s radical influence on teenage Obama. The Obama campaign specifically refuted this fraudulent meme, which deliberately misrepresents the relationship as “almost like a son.” A painstakenly documented analysis of this disinformation campaign is posted as “specific misrepresentation” at http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/Kaleokualoha/gGxdvX
Frank Marshall Davis was NOT an “admitted pedophile.” He wrote a pornographic novel under the pseudonym Bob Greene, one chapter of which is devoted to the protagonist and his wife having sex with a thirteen year old girl, according to a British website (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2601914/Frank-Marshall-Davis-alleged-Communist-was-early-influence-on-Barack-Obama.html) on 24 August. According to the British website, “Mr Davis (writing as Greene) explains that although he has “changed names and identities…all incidents I have described have been taken from actual experiences.”
In a same day report citing the British website, “Accuracy In Media” (AIM) reported that Edgar Tidwell, an “expert in the life and writing of Davis” confirms that Frank Marshall Davis wrote “Sex Rebel: Black” as a semi-autobiographical novel. Despite Tidwell’s expert opinion that the novel was SEMI-autobiographical, AIM’s Cliff Kincaid escalated accusations against Davis by first claiming he was a sex pervert (http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-red-mentor-was-a-pervert/) in their 24 August report. (Kincaid falsely attributed the “pervert” claim to the British website.) On 14 October, AIM again escalated the charges by claiming Davis was an “admitted child molester” (http://www.aim.org/aim-column/was-a-communist-obamas-sex-teacher/).
There are at least four distinct disclaimers that indemnify Frank Marshall Davis from literal attribution of this novel:
a. According to dictionary.com, “identity” means “condition or character as to who a person or what a thing is: a case of mistaken identity.” Changing name AND identities means changing names AND other “condition or character as to who a person or what a thing is,” which may include biographical data such as age.
b. “Taken from actual experiences” does not mean they are accurate representations of actual experiences. It only means they are based on actual experiences.
c. Edgar Tidwell, the expert on the life and writing of Frank Marshall Davis, says the book is “semiautobiographical,” which (according to dictionary.com) means “1. pertaining to or being a fictionalized account of an author’s own life. 2. pertaining to or being a work of fiction strongly influenced by events in an author’s life.”
d. Further, scandalous memoirs such as “Sex Rebel: Black (Memoirs of a Gash Gourmet)” have been a literary genre for centuries. According to Wikipedia, such fictional novels are allegedly factual, but are largely invented. The title, alone, qualifies it as a “scandalous memoir.”
In an honest evaluation, any of these disclaimers should protect the author from literal interpretation. The combination of all four should provide absolute protection from any culpability. Unfortunately, Davis’s accusers are dishonest. Like Mike Nifong, the disgraced ex-D.A. in the Duke lacrosse case, their campaign to demonize their target ignores exculpatory evidence in their reckless rush to judgment. In order to smear Barack Obama through guilt-by-association with Frank Marshall Davis, they are virtually lynching Davis by grossly misrepresenting his character and influence.
In “Sex Rebel,” Davis’s Bob Greene (not unlike Nabokov’s Humbert Humbert) hesitates at a pubescent girl’s sexual invitation, but foolishly relents. Like “Lolita,” Davis’s faux foreword is written by a Ph.D impersonator who details the psychological significance of the memoir. Like Nabokov, Davis wanted to write under a pseudonym to shield his reputation, but felt compelled to reveal his authorship. As a result, however, Davis has been posthumously accused of pedophilia, while “Lolita” is “considered by many to be one of the finest novels written in the 20th century.” In 1998, it was named the fourth greatest English language novels of the 20th century by the Modern Library,” despite also being initially dismissed as pornography, according to Wikipedia.
This is defense-lawyer, reasonable-doubt nonsense. Even if we were to accept your premise, all it would do is change his title from admitted pedophile to semi-autobiographical pedophile. You’re arguing that because he has a disclaimer saying that some parts of the book are fictional that the worst crime the main character commits must be one of those fictional points. You have no basis for this assumption other than your biased favorable view of Barack Obama.
The point is he’s a wackjob, which fits into the pattern of wackjobs that Obama has been attracted to his whole life. Your condescending explanation of the definition of identity and semi-autobiographical are intellectually dishonest debates tactics that do nothing but attempt to impune me.
People have been making bestial pornography for a long time too; that doesn’t change the fact that the people that do it are messed-up individuals that should have no authority over United States citizens.
Your comment should have been, “I like Obama, so please don’t share any details of his past that might taint my view of him.” It would have been more honest and taken less words.
YOU WROTE: “You’re arguing that because he has a disclaimer saying that some parts of the book are fictional that the worst crime the main character commits must be one of those fictional points. You have no basis for this assumption other than your biased favorable view of Barack Obama.”
RESPONSE: Untrue. The basis for my presumption is the evidence. As they say on CSI, “follow the evidence.”
I am arguing that since this genre consists of largely invented fictionalized accounts, there is overwhelming cause to reject literal attribution. A more precise change from “admitted pedophile” would be “largely invented fictionalized pedophile,” but I doubt that would fit your agenda.
It is unfortunate that you consider the concept of “reasonable doubt” to be “nonsense.” It is the basis of the American justice system. It is unfortunate that you choose the Mike Nifong style of justice that ignores the evidence in favor of jumping to conclusions.
It just struck me that you may not be American. If so, then you may be unaware of the regard we hold for justice including concepts such as “innocent until proven guilty” and “reasonable doubt.”
These are not fair-weather principles, to be discarded when inconvenient, as may be normal in less principled societies. The last time Western nations imposed wholesale punishment, based on suspicion, was the Spanish Inquisition. It seems you favor a return to such methods.
If you are not American, shame on me for making that assumption. If you are American, shame on you for rejecting basic morality
