Yet Democrats were smeared for years with the "Communist" brand, even though the Communists had a Communist candidate. On the other hand, what party does (or did....not sure of his current status) Klansman David Duke belong to?? The GOP. Whether or not they explicitly endorse a candidate, it doesn't take a genius to know which party enjoys the support of right wing groups like the KKK, the John Birch Society, the American Nazi Party, etc. For years the American Communist Party nominated its own candidates for president (anyone remember Gus Hall?).

Obama's relationship with Davis was not a scandal because it did not involve wrongdoing. Besides, They have it wrong about Frank Marshall Davis. Edgar Tidwell, whom AIM's Cliff Kincaid cites as "an expert on the life and writings of Davis," demolishes right-wing misrepresentation of Davis's radical influence in one simple paragraph: "Although my research indicates that Davis joined the CPUSA as a "closet member" during World War II, there is no evidence that he was a Stalinist, or even a Party member before WWII. Further, to those attempting to make the specious stand for the concrete, there is no evidence that he instructed Barack Obama in communist ideology. Frank Marshall Davis did NOT believe in overthrowing the USA. He was committed to what the nation professed to be. For him, communism was primarily an intellectual vehicle to achieve a political end-a possible tool for gaining the constitutional freedoms of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for ALL Americans."
