Big tip of the hat to Ace of Spades.
This will come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention, and certainly shouldn't be a surprise to anyone in Obama's Sturm Abteilung gang of followers, but the news going viral this afternoon is that Barack Obama was a member of the "New Party" in his 1996 campaign in which he was elected to the Illinois State Senate. What, you ask, is the New Party?
"The New Party was a radical left organization, established in 1992, to amalgamate far left groups and push the United States into socialism by forcing the Democratic Party to the left. It was an attempt to regroup the forces on the left in a new strategy to take power, burrowing from within."
Obama didn't just obtain their endorsement - he was a member, and their candidate. Ace of Spades has a lot of links - read them all.

This group was a collective established by the Democratic Socialists of America (that's not a label I made up to tar the Democrat Party, but the real name of a real organization) which states "[o]ur mission is to establish democratic socialism as a political force in the United States and around the world by training and mobilizing socialist activists to participate in a vibrant and diverse socialist organization at both the local and the national level."
This is monumental. Read this, share it with your friends, post it on your own blogs. This word has to be spread. Anyone who is remotely thinking of voting for Obama must be allowed no excuse to not know what kind of person he is supporting.
