Obama Confirms Relationship With Red Mentor

    AIM Vindicated in Reporting on Frank Marshall Davis



    WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 /EMWNews/ -- Accuracy in Media editor

Cliff Kincaid said that coverage of the Obama campaign's fierce attack on

Jerome Corsi's book, The Obama Nation, misses the point that the campaign

has finally acknowledged that the mysterious "Frank" in Obama's 1995 book,

Dreams From My Father, is in fact the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member

Frank Marshall Davis.



    "This identification by AIM and others hasn't been disputed by the

media, which has desperately tried to ignore the Obama-Davis relationship,

but the Obama campaign has not responded to it until now," Kincaid writes

in a new column posted at http://www.aim.org.



    Kincaid writes that, "The admission that Obama's mentor was Frank

Marshall Davis, an identified CPUSA member, can only add to growing public

concern about Obama's relationship with a Communist pawn of Moscow who was

the subject of security investigations by the FBI and various congressional

committees which examined Soviet activities in the U.S."



    Kincaid notes that a 40-page Obama report that is intended as a

"rebuttal" to Corsi's book makes no admission that Davis was a communist

and doesn't dispute anything Corsi documents about Davis's membership in

the Communist Party. Instead, Kincaid notes, the report attempts to play

down instances in which Obama soaks up Davis's anti-American thoughts and

pro-communist "poetry."



    Kincaid praises Corsi's book, saying, "It is clear that Corsi is to

Obama what the National Enquirer is to admitted adulterer and liar John

Edwards. The Enquirer exposed Edwards' secret life when the rest of the

media were refusing to investigate the candidate and making fun of the

Enquirer."



    AIM confirmed the identity of Frank Marshall Davis and his relationship

with Obama last February.
