Obama and His Chicago Socialist Past

Over at No Quarter there is a lengthy post documenting Barack Obama's membership in and endorsment from a socialist political organization:

Did you know that Barack Obama was affiliated with a leading national socialist party? Barack Obama didn’t include in his 2008 resume that he entered politics in the mid-1990s endorsed by Chicago’s leading socialists. This just keeps getting better and better. Barack Obama was an active participant in the 1990s, and a direct political beneficiary, of the Chicago New Party and, importantly, the Chicago DSA, a group of socialists affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.

There's plenty of documentation to back up the charge. Read it here.
