thing. jfk warned us about our atheistic foe and the godless commune i conspiracy. communist conspiracy, right? they realized, these guys did, that the communists were not their friends and went after the causes that they held dear. they attacked wilson's league of nations. they attacked fdr's new deal. the documents in the archives on this are stunning. ..

the united communist party is the only party that has put up this purpose. boycott this election. don't vote. strike. an official proclamation from the united communist party, stand by soviet russia. another, boycott the election. right. here is communist labor put out by the communist labor party of america. this is february, 1920. the suit is on the front? woodrow wilson's attorney general being portrayed as an indian carrying a scalp. that is what they thought of the progressives. liberals. the communists were not your friends. quit defending these guys. the anti-communist or write.

here they are in 1933, may date protesting to roosevelt the ministration. putting together a march. demonstrating against tiger, fascism, and war. the new deal is a blow against the workers and increases profits for wall street. all of this was done as a capitalist way out of the crisis showing how the american government, the roosevelt administration, is moving headlong toward fascism and war. fascist. okay. that is the american communist party. here is another one. mayday. they did this all over the country in 1933. condemning the program of forced labor for the unemployed. who had the answer? lenin. linden shows the way.

london shows the only way to jobs, land, and freedom. so that is what they were sending around. that is the kind of thing they were doing. while they are doing all of that they're also very content -- very carefully and strategically trying to get progresses and liberals to join their cause. i will give you three cases, three examples. john dewey, i include him among the group that i call attempting progressives. these were people in the 1920's and 1930's. american progressive colistin progressives. british as well as american who were taken to the soviet union in the 1920's and 30's and very carefully manipulated by handlers. it is extraordinary to see how they did this. it is shocking. and shocking to see how many took the bait. and because of the woodrow wilson administration not recognizing the baltics, because

the early british government would not recognize them, winston churchill told boy george, you might as well legalize sodomy. the progressives were upset. stolid and the boys in the late 1920's started bringing american progressives to the soviet union to take them on carefully managed to work to try to get them to go back to the united states and write articles about how great the soviets in is, fighting this whole new world. and they ought to recognize the soviet command. these were the progressives. h. g. wells, h. g. wells after meeting with stalin in 1934. i have never met a man more candid, fair, and honest. every one trusts him. everyone to some. that is the start. 1934. maybe stolen. likewise impressed by vladimir

lenin who he called a frank, refreshing, and amazing little man. amazing the lament. fellow socialists toward -- george bernard shaw met with stalin. you are going to say this is sarcastic. it is not. it is completely serious. george bernard shaw, we cannot afford to give ourselves moral errors. our most of the uprising neighbor, it mainly in judiciously liquidate the handful of exploiters and speculators to make the world safer. if you see the actual original notes from the meeting, that was precisely, precisely what stalin told george bernard shaw. the exact line that stalin wanted him to say. somebody was not taken by this who was a witness was the great malcolm but rich. upon one of his returns he made

these comments about what he saw talking about these american progressives. they are unquestionably one of the wonders of the age. i shall treasurer until i die the spectacle of them traveling with radiant optimism through a famished countryside wondering about squalid overcrowded towns listening with unshakable faith to the fatuous patterns of carefully trained and indoctrinated guides repeating like schoolchildren a table, bogus statistics and mindless slogans. he continues, there were honest advocates of the humane killing of cattle and looked up to the massive headquarters of the a gpu with tears of gratitude. proportional representation to the scented with the necessity of the dictatorship. this one. there were earnest clergyman who

walked preferably through soviet anti got museum's and preferably turned the pages to five pages of atheist dictate -- literature. traveling across red square bombing planes. planning specialists who stood outside overcrowded ramshackle tenants and muttered, if only we had something like this in england. not only was he mystified by the progressives, but so were the soviets. the almost unbelievable credulity of these mostly university educated torres astonished even soviet officials that were used to handling of foreign visitors. in the book i "i want the seat and who is a romanian intelligence chief during the about handling western visitors like senator ted kennedy.

he worked for the soviet press agency and said, among my duties, was to get these western progressives. from the moment they got off the plane that moscow international airport they were to be permanently intoxicated the entire time that they were in the soviet union. a lot of these guys came to s sm does it disturb them and it ate at their conscience. here is data and working full of trees flew to i do key guys have d at howt of here? progresses with come to the country. no matter how outrageous the lines of exaggeration of propaganda, this loaded again and again and again. these fellow passengers provided my first experience of the progressive elites from all over the world to attach themselves to the sovi the

spokesman. resolve to believe anything that they were told. one of them was john dewey. one of them was john dewey, founder of american public education and probably the single greatest influence on american public schools to this day. his books have been used for about 100 years now to train a generation after generation of public-school teated into russie bolsheviks as early as 1918. they had taken over on october 1917. you immediately get a vicious civil war from 1918-1921. w. bruce lincoln said 7 million men, women, and children died in that war. completely broke or preoccupied, but they realized how important john dewey's works were to the soviet collective communist

state that they were trying to put in place. they immediately started translating. 1918, the schools of tomorrow published in russian. 1919, how we think. 1920, the school and society published in russia. preeminent classic. 1921, democracy and education, democracy and education. 1921, published as a 62 page pamphlet. that book as a biographer said, became the bible of columbia teachers college and the soviets love did. now, perhaps once he caught wind of this all of these others probably felt bad that the architects of this collective this totalitarian society adored his books.

no, he was flattered. he was flattered mutual admiration society started developing between do we and the bolshevik hierarchy. and in the summer of 1928 john dewey along with 25 american educators from various universities made a trip to the soviet union where they were given the full treatment. all of the factories, ride around in limousines, caviar, of the food, everything you could possibly imagine. he went their realizing the possibility that they were going to try to manipulate him. in fact, he even says, the warning that appears humorous in retrospect so often given repub. the bible, political bible of the american left for a long time published from november november 14th 19,283rd december 1928. i have of one chapter on this in the book.

i won't read all the books. it is astonishing to read these articles. it is really astonishing. my mind was in the world. readjustment was difficult. i lived somewhat dazed. the liberation of the people that i saw. the outstanding fact that the russians are in a revolution involving a release of human powers that such an unprecedented scale that it is of incalculable significance, not only for this country, but for the whole world. in one painful article believe writes about how impressed he was with the restoration of russian churches that was taking place under lenin and stalin. blowing them up. a letter biography, the biographer is completely sympathetic. he inserts this footnote right there. apparently professor do we did not know about the demolishing of russian churches.

how? how did -- he didn't know that? that is whatever doing. the burbling the mob. 687 churches. forty-six left. official soviet statistics how could he not know this? this one, not making it up, the bolsheviks, how they are doing things, well, in spite of secret police come in positions, arrest and deportation, businessmen, industrialists, and farmers, exiling a party opponent include divergent elements, life for the masses goes on with regularity, safety, and decorum aside from all the other things. the external routine of life is more settled and secure in russia than probably any other country in all of europe.

this is not what i am being told, he said. it is what i am seeing. the revolution, he pronounced, was a great success, a great success. i think the schools are a dialectic factor in the evolution of russian come in. his very last article for the new republic, political recognition of russia on the part of the united states is at least unnecessary antecedents that bringing about the kind of relations in the interest of both countries. i went to russia with no conviction on that subject, but now here i am telling you that i think our government should recognize bolshevik russia, which was precisely, precisely the number one priority of what stalin and the bolsheviks wanted to bring these progressives over. the rico back, and call for recognition. so that is to be divvied up would give you a net couple of examples frank marshall davis.

i spent about four years on this one. i will take you through the entire four years. frank marshall davis is relevant right now because he was, i'm choosing my words carefully, mentor, a mentor to the current president of the united states, barack obama. that was in obama's years in the latter 1970's. i first started reading about frank marshall davis and obama in 2007 and 2008. i heard conservatives on talk radio, blogs and elsewhere saying he is a communist, communist party member. the sky is a communist. meanwhile, while i am hearing all of the stuff i have spread all over my desk all of these committee reports. the senate judiciary committee run by democrats, house committee on internal security run by democrats.

most of the people that ran these committees were democrats. trent dodd's father, thomas dodd. francis walter, rep i court. jack kennedy was an anticommunist on some of these committees. so i hear this and i'm thinking, okay. what does he really believe? and how close was he to obama? august 2nd, 2008, davis was a constant figure in obama's early life. he was an important influence that obama looked to like a father, mentor for advice on living and of the fangs. obama. i was intrigued by all fright with his books and whiskey breath and the hint of hard earned knowledge. frank give me advice in college

on women, live. all of these different examples. i started licking in documents. among the things that i found, frank marshall davis was called to testify before the senate in 1966 for communist associations. he pleaded the fifth amendment to the these are in the book. i give the actual copies of the pages. at think it is on page 256 hamachi 57. next year, 1957 senate reports actually listed frank marshall davis as an identified member of the communist party usa. that is pretty -- they did not just go and say somebody was a member of the communist party. they would say things like, this person has associations with communist front groups. so i started looking at some different biographers. a preeminent biographer on frank marshall davis.

james edward smith first. most of these guys are on the left. university of massachusetts professor, harvard ph.d. he says davis was almost certainly a party member. average john edgar to those book. that book, he said davis actually joined the communist party and produces a letter that he day to around 1943 where davis says in his own riding that he turned that communist party. okay? finally after looking at all of those different things not long before the book went to press i found -- i got the actual fbi file which was declassified the roof of a request by a fellow researcher. 600 pages long. as soon as you start reading frank marshall davis fbi fired you can see there very clearly. it takes maybe half an hour, the guy was a communist to be very clear.

in the appendix of the book, 10-12 pages. on page 507, this page which among other information actually less the communist party card number, 47544. i mean, that is hard evidence. i recently read some of the stuff that was out there accusing howard some of being a party member. his file was recently released. there are things like communist party members in his file. when you find a file that has cp numbers you have really got something. by the way, those numbers are fully consistent with other people who joined the party at the time, including members who you are probably being told that your universities were all innocent lambs. liberals and progressives

practicing their civil liberties, dragged before joe mccarthy. mccarthy was a senator. october 1947 called to washington d.c. to testify. john howard lawson was one of the hollywood ten. albert malts, 47196. 46836. i got some of frank marshall -- i get all of frank marshall davis's columns, weekly columns that he wrote for the honolulu record from 1949-1950, which was the communist party usa. i got in through the help of to a tremendous city college students. one found them on line, and the other was actually in hawaii. i am amazed it is here today. i will keep it secret. i promise.

but she went into a library and got the columns on microfiche. actual hard copy. what you see here was just how anti-american the communist party was in the united states in the latter 1940's. president after world war ii? harry truman. what party? democrat. so he was the enemy. so they mercilessly savaged harry truman. davis just took him apart. davis turned harry truman into a demon in these articles. colonialist, imperialists, fascist, racist, monster. chairman, george marshall, you name it. examples, february 9th 1950. davis really shows the soviet and communist party line as portraying harry truman as the

butcher of hiroshima. he dropped the bomb on japan august 6th 1945 to spare a land invasion. the land invasion would have been joined by not just american troops, not just british troops, but russian troops. stalin supported this. once the war is over truth does not matter. the only true that matters, there is no truth. the only morality that matters is that which furthers plus interest. after the war truman, who had done on 1945, now the butcher of hiroshima, and that becomes the cpu as a line and the moscow line. here is davis's column. actual pictures. this one is from for during ninth 1950. when we dropped the atom bomb on hiroshima we believed the world was ours.

having defeated the axis powers on the battlefront we were now ready to show the russians who was the boss of the world. his goal was to rule russia. rule russia. in addition to that he accused truman and the democrats in particular of wanting to turn west germany back to the nazis. wanting to turn west germany back to the nazis. the marshall plan was a sham. a policy to try to reel in slave the colonial peoples of round the world, the black and yellow peoples around the world. that was the goal. not a bailout western europe, but curiously of the world. if you have ever studied you know that the only people making that argument anywhere in the world is stolen and cpusa.

davis, the date industrialist who financed hitler had been handed back their factories and the old school ties with wall street. america's policy is a sham. one of the big joke of the 20th century. what kind of west germany is america trying to help back to its feet? it is the germany of the master race. the fascists that we sought to exterminate is the greatest threat to mankind of club has ever known and are now partners. what do you say we kiss and make up? as i was reading that column at the time center obama had gone to berlin and was still senator and made this elegant speech about how americans and germans stood together in thedberlin blr world war ii to resist the

soviet union. well, not all americans did. frank marshall davis was on the other side on that. another piece that continues to haunt me commit january 26th 1950 column by davis called free piece davis the man is. not harry truman or the democrats, but general motors, gm. davis is furious that this gigantic corporation made a profit last year $600 million. he is trying to frame gm as an aggressive monopoly.ces of rising unemployment the time draws near when we will have to decide to oust the monopolies and restore a system of competing free enterprise or let the government own and operate our major industries.

if davis could have come if he could have he would have nationalized gm in 1950, no question. how relevant is all of this today with president obama? we could talk about that. i started looking at davis and reading these columns. not exactly the order of my discovery. i've read the columns first. then i started finding the fbi files and the other things. at first i thought that i was dealing with possibly a progressive liberal who was duped by communists. then i realized that this was a communist who duped progressives and liberals. so i realized that i had to have this character in the book. now, how exactly relevant it is today and what is killing on, how it applies, we could talk about that and debate that. you can make those conclusions. i don't go into that.

i cover davis. one last example, and i'll wrap up and take questions. senator ted kennedy, the late senator ted kennedy who is hard to get a handle on. i have been asked if i consider kennedy a dupe or something else altogether. by found things from kennedy on the vietnam war in the 1960's that he said about our troops. they were almost the identical to things that he was saying about the troops in 2003, 2004, 2005. very startling. i did not realize all the things that kennedy had said about our troops in vietnam in the 1960's. the major revelation that i have on kennedy, which i know a lot of you are familiar with is the may, 1983, document in the central committee archives in the soviet union. my understanding is that the

archives have since been resealed. you cannot go in and get that document. that is okay. i've got it in the book. you can read it. i have 1-upped the russians. here is the actual document, which is in the appendix of the book. it is five pages in russian. if any of you regression. i have been told that the translation that is in the book is actually pretty kind. kind of charitable. if you read it in russian, both in russian. and then here it is, it is an english also. on the very back of the book there is the very top of page one translated in english. here is what this document says. does this not grab you right away? special importance.

committee on state security of the u.s.s.r., may 14th, 1983. this subject, bound to pique your curiosity. regarding senator kennedy's request to the general secretary of the communist party. okay. opening line, on nine / ten, reagan is president. fbi speech march of 1983. evil empire speech. reelection campaign coming up in 1984. senator edward kennedy's close friend and trusted confidante, and they know who this was, in moscow. the senator charged him to convey the following message through confidential contacts to the general secretary of the secretary -- of the soviet committee. like other rational people, very troubled by the current state of

the soviet-american relations. events are developing such as this relationship coupled with the general state of global s fiirs that make the situation commitment to deploy new american middle range nuclear weapons. he goes through here in this document and lists different the kgb who is really interpreting the offer from senator kennedy. an admission that reaganomics is working. it is in a private letter. the economy is doing terrific. very popular. what are we going to do? what are we going to do about this? well, they go through. and it says, given the current state of affairs basically the reelection coming up, what can we do? what can we do to stop this, to reverse the belligerent and dangerous defense policies? well, they get to the core of

the offer. kennedy proposes the following. they get one, two, three different steps that basically, what kennedy believed, what kennedy believed is that the soviets wanted peace. this increasing intentions was the fault of reagan. the soviets needed help and better communicating their peaceful intentions to the american media and americans generally. reagan was good at propaganda. the need to figure out a way to get around the smokescreen of propaganda. how do you better communicate directly to the american people? besides, kennedy is very impressed. not impressed with reagan. very impressed with in drop-off. they argue, kennedy would go to moscow and be with the soviet.

he talks about bringing a senator with him. they would talk to them. they would help arrange for a soviet media tour in the united states, basically a kind of public relations tour in the united states, a kind of pr campaign to help communicate soviet peaceful intention. with high level soviet military and political officials they could talk directly to the american media, have sit-down interviews, and even mentioned by name walter cronkite and barbara walters as to people that could do interviews. and they could directly communicate to the american people. now, what happened with all of this? by the way, then it winds up in 1984 where it talks about the election campaign coming up.

there is a discussion as to senator kennedy's presidential prospects in the 1984 race. it finishes up with that. whatever became of this, may 1983, well, he eventually got sick at the end of that year and died in february of 1984. they talked about this happening in september of 1983. anybody remember your chronology of cold war history? what happened over the alaska territory? the soviets shot down a korean airliner killing 269 people. initially they denied doing it. so that kind of put an end to this. not very impressive. now, for people who are listening, watching on c-span and are democrats and are angry about this and don't want to

believe it because they like kennedy and not reagan, well, i have news for you. kennedy did a very similar thing to jimmy carter. we know this from the archives that came in to the united states. a defector from 1992. recently president carter when he was promoting his diaries talked about how he believed senator kennedy tried to undermine him on health care. kennedy was challenging carter for the democratic primary in 1980. he did not mention anything about this, but on march 5th 1980 kennedy, again, through the same contact, the same liaison in moscow had a message delivered to the soviet in this case. and as the archives characterize

this, here is what he was arguing. the carter a administration is trying to distort the peace -loving ideas behind the proposals. the atmosphere of tension and hostility is being fueled by carter. the carter white house is feeding public opinion with nonsense about the soviet military threat and soviet ambitions for military expansion in the persian gulf. what is so jaw-dropping, according to this committee is concerned about rising soviet tensions, cold war tensions. blaming that of the soviets, but again on the president and the white house. we have carter on the cover. carter was anything but part of the soviets. he was very accommodating. june 1979, carter kisses him at

the summit. then six months later, talk about the trade with the case. he is in the white house celebrating christmas and get news that the red army has just invaded afghanistan. and then here just three months after the soviets invade afghanistan and kennedy is concerned about the rising cold war tensions, the fault of carter. while. while. but it in context. what was going on? democratic presidential primary. jimmy carter, the incumbent democratic president was being challenged by senator ted kennedy. what happened in 1980 seems to have happened in 1983 with ronald reagan as well. well, i could give other

examples of this, but i'm watching the clock and should probably stop. i want to take your questions. that was a look at do we, frank marshall davis, and ted kennedy. there are a lot of other people to cover, but i will stop right there and take some of your questions. thank you. [applauding] right here. >> what do you have for the growing support of the communist party and giving the democrats? people's weekly world. i mean, for crying out loud, in 2003 they had moved on the upside. more recently they are constantly raving about his policies. >> yes. it is a remarkable thing. the 1-nation rally that was held here not that long ago, i was

shocked to see that when you went to the website that listed all of the different endorsing groups communist party usa was right there in the open. that is so -- what is so interesting to me about that, having written the book on duping and how the communist dupes liberals and progressives. in the past in those rallies they would -- the liberals, like the plague, they would avoid them. the only way that you would get communist party usa at those groups was secretly, covertly. here in this case, it was kind of arms wide open, come on in. no problem. one of the most troubling examples, this is one of those i had to look at again and again and again. i still look at the documents and cannot believe it. april 1941, the american peace

mobilization. this group was a communist front group. by the way, people who are listening, the house un-american committee, this group was exposed. one of the most seditious subversive communist front groups ever in the united states. this group accommodated hitler. the house committee did a far more good things that you guys are willing to acknowledge. the american peace mobilization, their job was to tow the soviet line, represent moscow's position, try to bring progressives to the rally. they were created august 1939. hitler and stalin signed a pact. the hitler-stalin nonaggression pact to not fight each other. because of that the american communist movement in 1940 and

1941 protested american land leased to britain, aiding britain. basically accommodating killer because he was in an alliance with stalin. that group took that position. we have in the book the actual dump -- documents. the fall of 1940. they went, protested, picketed outside the white house. fdr is a fascist, trying to start another war. the soviets. don't send aid. meanwhile britain is dying because of hitler's blitzkrieg. that is the position. they picketed outside the white house. "washington post" covered it. all kinds of news. one of the leaders who was interviewed in one of the articles, the communist never mentioned once that he was a communist. they're picketing outside of the

white house. this is so incredible. june 22nd 1941, june 202nd, 1941. i have the article. they put down their pickets and started chanting a pro-war chant and went home. anybody know what happened? the soviet union was invaded by hitler's germany. hitler and the germans betrayed the hitler-stalin pact on a dime overnight. the people in the american peace prohibition became pro-war. they changed their name from american peace mobilization to the american people's mobilization. they did not even change the acronym. they kept the acronym. they started pushing vigorously for lend lease, aid to britain, the united states to enter the war, fdr was no longer a

fascist. now they could be cpusa could be pro-american. now america would be allied with stalin. it was really a great day for them. the new york times article on the subject is titled the group opposes war eight. that is the american peace mobilization. the clergymen group. the presence of religious left social best justice. the communists will show up at these rallies. blessed are the peacemakers. turn the other cheek. of course not noting that they are communists and their blowing up churches and throwing nuns in the gulag and jailing priests. far too many people, especially on the religious left. a great ex-communist himself and investigator of this time. i asked him when i started doing this book, is their a particular group that was duped more than

any other. he said yes, progressive pastors were the biggest sectors of the ball. american peace mobilization is a good example. go ahead. you need a microphone. >> in your analysis how distorted historical the and how effective as propaganda do you see the way hollywood through films have depicted the communist influence and particularly against the u.s. >> great question. it is scandalous, horrible, absolutely horrible. i would say that hollywood but still dupes for the communists. the communists are in the grave. hollywood is still protecting them. protecting them as if they were never communists to begin with. october 1937. these hollywood figures who are almost all party members, they

are called to washington to testify. they get a group of liberal hollywood actors and actresses who they lied to and told, we are liberals and progressives. we are not communists. humphrey bogart. we checked every member of our group before we left to make sure that there were no pain or read anywhere. very, very careful. no sympathy among the left for the fact that the communist applied to the liberals on the left and tarnished the reputation. no problem with any of that. no problem. they create this group called the committee for the first amendment. these hollywood liberals. they flew to washington. humphrey bogart, danny kaye, judy garland, gene kelly, katharine hepburn. people were duped really badly.

the daily worker, the cover of the daily worker on almost every issue. crusaders for the first amendment. then they get to washington. john howard and all of these other people are caught up. a big surprise. congress has some evidence. they don't just -- they're not just a bunch of brad peters. they bring them up there. john howard lawson, you remember the front groups. here is the article that he wrote. here is your communist party card number. the present all of this evidence. you know what they did? they stood up. a fascist. not see. american concentration camp. they had been lapping out. the did but the left always does when they are nail or. with these guys were, as being communist they called their

accusers not his and fascists. they were taken out. bogart and all of these folks said, oh, boy, were we do it. now, were relied too. by the way, the airplane that they got on in los angeles is called the red star. warren said right away i should have thought, oh, no. but no concern at all. and now this whole era is betrayed as joe mccarthy on a wild rampage, witch hunter, persecuting these poor people. he was not even on the house committee in october 1947. he was a senator. he had nothing to do with this. every new anti-communist was portrayed as a joe mccarthy. ' one of the co-founders of the aclu, roger baldwin. by the way, aclu founder, 1928

book, liberty under the soviets. one of the founders is here reward. a methodist minister. a "a piece written for protestant digest in 1940 or 41. he is warning, a full decade and a half before about the next red scare. first it was alexander which palmer. both democrats. it was martin of texas. then it was this guy. now it is this guy. joe mccarthy, they would have found their joe mccarthy. that is not to defend in the of mccarthy's actions. please. we now have the evidence of how many people were guilty and the way that they lied. very disturbing. other questions. >> i wonder if you have any comment on the will of american

corporations as dupes for america's foes such as henry ford and the ford corporation and also armand hammer. and also know that the flow of corporate money into the elections has become -- the floodgates have been opened, if you have any concern about american companies that want to do business with communist countries, either selling the products or by raw materials, using their influence on american politicians which is only going to grow to force american policy in the direction that is more sympathetic to china and less sympathetic to the american worker. >> i will cut you off. i have not looked into it. but didn't find much. armand hammer was not on my list.

i am serious. the multi volume set. i am telling you, it is an extraordinary thing. so many different people. i did not look into any particular corporations. ba just wondering where the american socialist party plays into theued or were they sympathetic? >> it is a complicated question. i have a very interesting document that i found in the archives. 1932 presidential campaign. communt torching everybody. they hate to the republicans. they hated fdr, the socialists. they were going after everybody. i mean, it is amazing the anger

that was there among american communists. i was really surprised. you see these documents. the fights that they had. so and so, from, exposing the worker as a stool pigeon. the latest meeting minutes. and i would update this. sent this to the earlier question about modern-day progressives. one of the groups that i looked at was the group progressives for obama. it is starting to cloud this whole progressive liberal think. i understand that they are on the left. there are variations. the full spectrum of beliefs. the very far left.

you start to move over. the democratic socialism. this group, progressives for obama, one of the four initiatives is the founder of fds. one of the 94 signers was jane fonda. park resident who was with fds and columbia. a lot of these people, they were not just student radicals. they were communists. him says that michael plumb's he was an actual stalinist. it is amazing how many of these people and now in academia. there are now calling themselves progressives for obama. so what did they really believe? are they now just lifting the

progress of little? if they change their views of it is hard to say. i quoted the book a fascinating assessment of the 2008 election. you know, obama did it. he did it. he did not blow it. he said just the right brains and took the right policy positions to be able to track just enough moderates and independents. he did it. i agree with the strategy. in the other strategy invites sure defeat. it is fascinating nebraska. some of these folks back among the first democratic party nominee they have never supported. they hated jack kennedy. they hated lbj be. they dismissed carter. the born-again the film.

they see december the who is far enough to the left back. it is interesting and his point, after the elections, i do what i always do before i go to class, i get a printout of the poll data to see how americans voted. every single one of these, the american public has described itself as conservative of the liberal by 40-20%. gallup did a huge pool. 40-20%. academia is 90-10. they preach diversity. it has been 40-20. the national journal called him the most liberal member of the
