Woman (former Dan Quayle speech writer) has proof Obama is a communist...

Because *ALL* the mixed-race people this woman claims to know are communists.

No wonder she was Dan Quayle's speechwriter.

#1115: Lisa Schiffren

Lisa Schiffren is a former Dan Quayle speech writer (best known for writing his still infamous Murphy Brown speech in 1992), founder of Softer Voices (they worked e.g. for Rick Santorum, trying to give him a “softer” image) and writer of columns for various outlets.

Schiffren is not the only one to raise conspiratorial questions about Obama’s parentage, but she was among the first to raise the questions in mainstream (well) media (National Review Online in 2008). In particular, there is evidence that Obama is a communist, you see: “[A]ll of my mixed race, black/white classmates throughout my youth, some of whom I am still in contact with, were the product of very culturally specific unions. […] how had these two come together at a time when it was neither natural nor easy for such relationships to flourish? Always through politics … Usually the Communist Youth League. Or maybe a different arm of the CPUSA. But, for a white woman to marry a black man in 1958, or 60, there was almost inevitably a connection to explicit Communist politics.” Based on such anecdotes and an unhealthy dose of bias, Schiffren then tries to make the case that Obama must be communist since he was the intentional product of a plan that apparently goes back to Stalin himself.

but when the stock market does good under a Republican president, the RW is quick to dance around screaming about how their guy's wise policies caused that to happen. So, Obama should get the same consideration.

the policies coming out of this administration - TPP, TISA, mass surveillance, corporate espionage, targeting of whistleblowers and journalists criticizing corporate policies - have become disturbingly fascistic.
