Yup,, Commie-Obammy

Comrade Obama starts oozing
out from history's cracks.
Anchoress: I’m gobsmacked!- it turns out he was a radical:

…the mainstream media has finally done a bit of the candidate background reporting it declined to do during the campaign — other than in Wasilla — and whaddya know? The New York Times unearthed a 1983 article called, “Breaking the War Mentality,” that Columbia student Barack Obama wrote for a campus newspaper. The article shows that Obama dreaded American “militarism” and its “military-industrial interests,” while effusing enthusiasm for the dangerously delusional nuclear-freeze movement (Hmmm. Where is the poseur today?)"

Moreover, while indicating a preference for the political wisdom of reggae singer Peter Tosh over Ronald Reagan or Scoop Jackson, Obama bewailed the “narrow focus” of anti-militarism activists, worrying that they were targeting the “symptoms” rather than the real “disease,” namely, America’s underlying economic and political injustice…


You’ll want to read all of McCarthy’s post.
The NY Times piece is here, and writers William J. Broad and David E. Sanger are unsurprisingly soft on Obama’s near-incoherence, noting, “clearly trying to sort out his thoughts.” The Times Story is a serious piece, though, that does take time to explore (and give voice to) the concerns of the grown-ups.
