Representative Danny K. Davis is honored by the People’s World at the Communist Party U.S.A.’s headquarters in Chicago for a lifetime of “inspiring leadership.”
Davis serves on the Homeland Security Committee where his subcommittee assignments are the Subcommittee on Transportation and the Subcommittee on Oversight. He is also a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
When Segal started questioning the congressman outside the party headquarters, CPUSA members and a Davis handler wearing an Obama jacket tried to intervene to protect Davis from further questioning, with one person calling Segal “disgusting.” Segal protested, “Don’t touch me!”
Much more is revealed in the entire article. I am only posting the highlights relating to the video here. Please read the articl here:
Rep. Davis: “I thought you’re just a citizen? Why are you worried about the Communist Party?”
Segal: “I shouldn’t be worried about the Communist Party?”
Davis: “No.”
The video posted below shows the confrontation with Segal and Congressman Davis. Included is an old film footage of Obama at an event praising Davis as someone who “shares our values.”
Hi HL... I just finished watching the video. King is soooo busted. How do stupid people get elected anyway?
Anyway, back right after Obama got elected the party grew very cocky and published a list of it's Washington members...I think it was 40 percent of Obama's first congress were listed??? (Not this current congress, but the one we threw out in 2010).
At any rate, I visited the site myself and it was all there for anyone to see....and then suddenly they went underground as soon as people started talking about it.
When is America going to wake up and see what is happening right under their noses????

A top official of the Communist Party USA on Wednesday ripped Rep. Allen West’s “sad ploy” for claiming that as many as 80 Democratic members of the House are communists.
“I just think it’s an absurd way to cast a shadow over his colleagues. It’s kind of a sad ploy,” Libero Della Piana, a vice-chairman of the national Communist Party, said of the Florida Republican’s charge that about 80 House Democrats were members of the radical party.
“It’s just guilt by association taken to an extreme,” he told POLITICO. He also said there are no members of Congress who are members of the Communist Party – not even avowed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
“I think it’s just absurd,” Della Piana said.
In a video clip of the event posted Wednesday, West was responding a question from a constituent asking “What percentage of the American legislature do you think are card-carrying Marxists?”
“That’s a fair question. I believe there’s about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party,” West says in the video. He went on to say, “It’s called the Congressional Progressive Caucus,” according to a West spokesman, Tim Edson.
Della Piana also said that using the term “communist” as slander ran counter to democratic principles.
“We are supposed to live in a political democracy,” he said. “I didn’t know that being a Communist in Congress was off-limits or out of bounds. There aren’t any now and if there were in the future does that mean that the voters don’t have a say? Can’t choose a Communist to be in Congress?”
In fact, charges from the tea party that President Barack Obama and other Democrats were enacting “socialist” policies has led to increased interest in socialism, Della Piana said.
“I think a lot of Americans were opened up the idea of socialism because of the tea party’s attack on it,” he said. “I think they put it back on the agenda. By attacking every policy initiative of the president as socialism, they put it back in the public debate… it wasn’t exactly something the average American was talking about before that.”
First, the Vice Chairman of the National Communist Party states that Adam West is "casting a shadow over his colleagues". He goes on the say that we can choose a "Communist to be in Congress", since the voters have a say.
I presume this would be true IF the voters had the knowledge that the Representative was a Communist!! But when the people have been DECEIVED by wolves in sheep clothing, then I would have to say that the people did not vote in a Communist!!! The candidates LIE to the people to get their vote by pretending to be someone they are not.
There is NO WAY that Americans decided that they want Socialism and we suddenly have an interest in Socialism and that we have decided to throw away the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and every other Document which stands for Liberty and Freedom and a Government Of, For and By the People, and now we want to EXCHANGE what this Nation was founded on, for a Socialistic Dictator and his cronies! I've got News for you, Libero Della Piana, that, Sir, would be ABSURD!!!
Galactic_bodhi: The way Obama originally came out of nowhere always struck me as something out of the Manchurian Candidate. Just saying...
BTW. Hi HL.
Dude constantly badmouthing McCain in his Threads as the Manchurian Candidate,while selling the Real one as the Genuine Bona Fide All American Article on his threads!
I didn't like McCain, but at least I knew who he was and what he stood for. His rhetoric was backed up by more than a "Present" voting record.
Never been much for Congressmen being President anyways. Governers have historically had a better idea of how to run a budget and work with a legislative & judicial branch. All Senators know how to do is spend taxes and proclaim themselves ipso facto kings.

Totally agree.
Did you hear the story about Valerie Jarret's father-in-law writing an article for a newspaper here in Florida back in the late 70's about how Saudi money was being sent here in droves to fund individual blacks and organizations serving black interests? It wasn't long after that Obama surfaced and now he doesn't make a move without her.

Funny you should say that bodhi... I just watched the 1962 and the 2004 Versions of The Manchurian Candidate a few days ago.
In the first movie, they said that Mind Control was used on every President. I remember watching a live speech that Bush gave from the oval office one time. He was not himself at all, no facial expressions or jokes, and I thought at the time that it looked as if he were under mind control.
It really does exist and is being used. They killed CIA Scientist Frank Olsen because he knew too much about it.
It never ceases to amaze me that otherwise intelligent and educated people can still subscribe to the insanity of any form of Marxism. Marxism has been tried in various forms in many places during the past century and in every case it has failed. The net result has been poverty and misery for all. Marxism exists on the back of an exploited and oppressed working class, who are kept in line by state terror. Marxism is the only form of government in the whole of recorded human history that was so despotic and so hated by its subjects that it had to build fences to prevent people escaping the various versions of the 'workers' paradise'. Marxism cannot work because it is contrary to nature. Effort, thrift and hard work are not rewarded. It removes hope and joy from the people's lives. All that is left is a sea of grey lifeless faces united in their misery. This was why the USSR had the highest rate of alocholism in the world, as the workers of the Soviet Union crawled inside vodka bottles to escape their misery and hopelessness.

An actual Communist is less of a threat than the post-Marxist Liberals.
At least the traditional Communist should understand the requirement in having a means of production in order to make things in society, instead of just consuming what others have made, and at least a true Marxist does not actually believe in equality - "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is an admission to the Right wing that many modern Lefties would never make. Modern Lefties believe all ability is a product of education and environment, this belief is even more Marxist than Marx himself.

From my very limited study of communisim the manifesto states there will be a revolution then a board to run the country and then the people will have the power. Which then means trhe people become capitalists and democracy starts again . If IRC my Yr12 history . What you are describing Carl also describes many of my co workers in Australia . Those of us who earn minimum wage do manual labor and forced to live in sub standard suburbs !!
