On Wednesday afternoon, The Blaze featured a live webcast with Paul Kengor, author of the new, provocative book, “The Communist,” which details the life of President Obama’s Communist mentor, Frank Marshall Davis.
Kengor also appeared on Glenn Beck‘s radio program earlier in the day to discuss his book’s revelations in greater detail. Replay the webcast and view the videos below for a complete look at the card-carrying member of the Communist party who played an important role in the life of a young Barack Obama.
This interview, conducted by TheBlaze Editor-in-Chief Scott Baker, features many questions from TheBlaze readers and viewers. Kengor even addresses why he chose not to focus on salacious allegations about the personal life of FMD:
Below are parts one and two of Glenn Beck’s interview with Paul Kengor, author of “The Communist”:
Editor’s note: This story has been updated. It originally featured live video of Kengor’s interview. That has been replaced by the replay and his interview with Beck has been added.

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 10:49pmEveryone please watch this video it explains why people move to communism. It is a secular moral belief theory. This PHD drill down to Marx’s early writings and how he want to make a better moral man. If you do not have time the start at 13:45. It is enlightening on how communism seduces people who do not have a strong moral belief system (a great many Americans)

On a intersecting story. The Romney campaign needs to tie Obama with FMD and the Weatherman, and the Muslim Brotherhood. I would also show how he is not qualified for a security clearance had he not been elected. Check out the background questions you have to answer.

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 7:32pmWe know Barry‘s plan for our republic and he’s essentially carried it out with socialized medicine being the worst thing he’s done. The key is for independents and rational dems if there are any left is to know Barry’s intentions through this and a few other books.Of course we see the destruction he‘s wrought for three and a half years so the books shouldn’t be necessary save for the most uninformed.

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 6:58pmI WILL QUOTE A TRUE AMERICAN HERO: “The President has failed and he is jeopardizing the safety of our troops, their families and our National security for political gain. Obama has exposed the identity of special operations units, leaked classified information, and limited the rules of engagement of forces on the ground,” said Mr. Zinke. “For those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, it is a call of duty to take back America from a Commander-in-Chief that is incapable of understanding the sacrifices that have been made for the values that have made America great.” Read the tnire story at: http://politicker.com/2012/07/former-navy-seal-launches-pac-to-fight-obama/

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 6:29pmSo by 1913 they finally force Truman to implement the Federal Reserve. Just in time to reap the benefits of WWI. Within 17 years the first stock market crash and most everyone’s wealth is completely wiped out. So nothing is done to protect us and we continue to use the stock market to fund pensions and 401k’s all through the years. Remember the representatives once elected go to Washington like average Joe and within one term of having insider trading information are living off the interest in their portfolios.
So money changers have stolen our wealth through the stock market, and the Muslims took our wealth because the progressives wouldn’t allow us to drill for oil. And the progressives in government stole from us selling their stocks before the market crashed.
While in office the progressives worked diligently to make EVERY SINGLE POLICY A BURDEN ON THE AMERICAN WORKING CLASS.
Social Security
Medicaid
Medicare
Food Stamps
Welfare
All these programs are directed at taking wealth from the middle class, the middle class is all that stands between the socialists and freedom and liberty.
Once the middle class doesn’t have enough wealth to support their candidates for representation all we will have is the establishment candidates. Just like they had in the old communist countries we used to read about.
So between the federal reserve (money changers), Muslim (oil tycoons) and progressive polcies for 99 years we are finally on the verge of financial ru

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 6:14pmChances are more likely this man is King Hussein’s father and mentor. He looks more like his mentor than the father he actually claims.
This is probably why the people who are hiding King Hussein’s birth information are laughing about him being a citizen. They know good and well he is a citizen and that his biological father is/was a communist. They would rather their be questions as to his citizenship than to his patriotism. How does any communist place their right hand on the Bible and take the oath of office and mean it. As a communist it would be impossible for King Hussein to take that pledge. Furthermore, no communist, marxist, socialist, Muslim can ever serve in the service or public office. Their teachings are contrary to the oath and unless they have proven to have denounced their faith or beliefs they can not without lying take the oath of office or commission if a soldier.
Think about it !!
Between the progressive socialist pushing the socialist agenda and the federal reserve sucking the wealth out of the sheeples it is a wonder we are still a Republic.
Three presidents prior to 1913 were assasinated all three wanted a gold/silver metal based currency.
Report Post »The fourth president assasinated who spoke out against the Federal Reserve was JFK and his brother. They eliminated both knowing good and well Robert would have been elected president if alive.

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 6:14pmJust a comment about book placement…I’ve been in a couple of book sections where they have completely hidden “Cowards” in places where no one would find it…bottom shelves behind signage and in the paperback section next to twilight or the coloring book section. I personally have moved it myself to where it belongs and I don’t work at any of these places. Hopefully, “Communists” will be placed in it’s rightful space & not have people game-playing with it as well. I’ll move it if I have to!

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 5:42pmEvery move Obama takes and implements indicate exactly to what he famously promised back in 2008, when he stated “in five days WE ARE GOING to Fundamentally Transform America”.
Report Post »Obamas action speaks for itself, loud and clear, don’t deny it, and pretend it is not happening. Roll back the last three plus years and check them one by one. What we find out he is succeeding in his implementation of communism. No matter what you Call it, it is the course of action that leads in empowering him to diminish the individuals rights and take charge in making the collective decision, and expect you to accept it. Look around you in nations building and what is taking place all over the world theater, and his contribution to it. Any of it is coin siding and resembling what America and the founding fathers projected. The answer is YES, for they warn us if WE THE PEOPLE do not participate and attend to our country, we will lose our freedom. ANY of our elected officials, are keeping their promises by what they were sworn to protect when they took offices?. YOU KNOW THE ANSWER!

Almost all he is doing and saying is right out of the teaching of his mentor, even down to the phrases and the wording. Card carrying Communist teaching him all he is perpetrating on the ignorant American people right now, and for the last 4 years.
