What more would it take to derail this train? How many more scandalous relationships need to be uncovered before the Obama lovers come to their senses? How many more serious -- ominous questions must we have about this man's true character before we act?

I suspect that after November this all will be played out in the MSM. And it is good fodder for an impeachment trial if he gets elected.

Mark In Irvine

This is an awful lot of mud to be slinging when the accuracy of the factual premises is uncertain:

" ... if the character in the book is actually based on Davis’s own experiences, ..." and

"Whether the book Sex Rebel is entirely based on Davis or not, ..."

Why don't you say something relevant to say about BHO or his policies?

Irene Adler

After reading the same information in a article in the Telegraph (U.K.), I started emailing links to everyone I know. When more people learn of it, Obama can kiss his election good-bye.

All rightie then. Do I have this right? The sexual misconduct of Palin's family, over which the nominee actually has influence, should be off-limits. Yet the sexual misconduct of Obama's "mentor," over which the nominee had no influence, should be on-limits. Is this correct?

bvw

Aloha! So based on the reports of Davis' own editor Tidwell, the sexual apex -- perversity, group sex, drugs and booze -- of Frank Davis' life was in Wakiki during the years 1969-1976.

According to Obama's Wikipedia bio: "He returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents while attending Punahou School from the fifth grade in 1971 until his graduation from high school in 1979. As an adult Obama admitted that during high school he used marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol, which he described at the 2008 Civil Forum on the Presidency as his greatest moral failure."

The two men's periods of perversity and moral failure overlap closely and are literally right around the corner -- in the same walking neighborhood!

And Obama, in "Dreams From My Father", admits he had a close black "poet" of a mentor there in Wakiki named "Frank", who mentored Obama until he was 18 -- 1979.

Mahalo! Ain't that sweet!

Obama admits he was greatly influenced by Frank. So yes, we should be concerned.

To be sure, like the young Palin girl now mom-to-be, Obama was young and very able to be influenced. It may be he did learn his lesson, and one hopes that means he resolved to run away from such behavior.

Yet that is NOT what the loving description Obama, as an adult, gives to his mentoring by Frank, is it?

bernie

My first wife's father was a leading Communist in Poland in the late 60s, however I have been a lifelong Libertarian and our relationship had no affect on me politically.

Having a Communist mentor means nothing if Obama came out of the relationship without being influenced by Communist principles. That today Obama wants to whack it to rich people on principle even if it reduces government revenues shows that at heart Obama was indeed influenced by his mentor and in a bad way.

What he took out of the deal is what is important, not the relationship per se.

Just FYI for your readers, I linked to this article from my post, 13 Myths about Barack Obama: http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/09/13_myths_about_barack_obama.html

Bernie: Thanks for the link and comment. Yes you are correct, just knowing someone doesn't make you 'like' that person. However, I think Obama absorbed much communist ideology from this man and from Obama's other associations.

By definition, if you want to take from one group and give to another, you are communist.

What should we make of Barack Obama's unsettling associations with Terrorist Bill Ayers, Communist sex pervert Frank Marshall Davis, Racist Anti-American pastor Jeremiah Wright and others. Guilt by association? Innocent until proven guilty? Such defenses of ongoing voluntary personal relationships are absurd! These legal principles were designed to insure that persons who have committed no crime are not sent to jail. They have no bearing whatever on the question of whether or not a man should be honored with the presidency of the United States, and it is an abuse of common sense to suggest that they do. Like "red baiting", they are emotional prods intended to goose us over the hurdle of our own critical judgment. What is more, the leftists who offer such slogans in defense of Barack Obama's many unsavory connections are utterly insincere in using them. If John McCain had a comparable relationship with David Duke, or Timothy McVeigh, or (heaven forbid) Jerry Falwell, can anyone imagine Lanny Davis or Paul Begala defending him with such irrelevant nostrums? Hardly! A single kind word about senator Strom Thurmond cost Trent Lott his senate Republican leadership position. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton was celebrating, at no political cost, his association with the openly racist senator William Fullbright, whom he called his "mentor". And Democrat senator Robert Byrd, a former Klansman, was using the word "nigger" with impunity on Sunday morning television. There is wisdom in the old proverbs. Birds of a feather do flock together, and one is in fact known by the company he keeps. No one is suggesting that we haul Barack Obama before a judge! But we do have very deep misgivings about the notion that we should entrust our country with him and his dubious cronies!

Oh, now Jerome Corsi is kicked out of Kenya with more to know about the true Obama. Obama has been helping a very radical candidate to get elected by teaching him all the illegal tactics and it has worked. Jerome Corsi will be publishing this soon, hopefully before it is too late.

Dear RightTruth:

Man, thanks for this great little bit on Frank the Wank, friend of all young developing teens everywhere..

Hey, just another freakish beyond belief beam to add to the Madhouse That Obama Built.

Excellent and I used it for my last feeble post.

True or false, I do not know, I just read this: In a Honolulu news conference on October 22nd Martin disclosed that Frank Marshall Davis was the biological father of Barack Obama, not Barack Obama senior. The Obama campaign has not denied Martin's claim.

It is easy to condemn Communism because it was a godless program, but God's idea of government is not Capitolism or Democracy; it is closer to communism.
Bible: Acts 2:44,45 (After Jesus's resurrection:
":44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; :45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men as every man had need." It is when you leave God's rules out of the picture that things turn ugly.

Colonel: Yes he has been visiting many blogs who reported on this, leaving comments. He sounds legit, but who knows.

The pornography disinformation against Frank Marshall Davis is just as heinous as the political disinformation. Further, it suggests that those making such false accusations may
be projecting their own libidinous psychological disorders onto Davis.

Frank Marshall Davis wrote a pornographic novel under the pseudonym Bob Greene, one chapter of which is devoted to the protagonist and his wife having sex with a thirteen year old girl, according to a British website (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2601914/Frank-Marshall-Davis-alleged-Communist-was-early-influence-on-Barack-Obama.html) on 24 August. According to the British website, "Mr. Davis (writing as Greene) explains that although he has “changed names and identities…all incidents I have described have been taken from actual experiences."

In a same day report citing the British website, "Accuracy In Media" (AIM) reported that Edgar Tidwell, an "expert in the life and writing of Davis" confirms that Frank Marshall Davis wrote "Sex Rebel: Black" as a semi-autobiographical novel. Despite Tidwell's expert opinion that the novel was SEMI-autobiographical, AIM's Cliff Kincaid escalated accusations against Davis by first claiming he was a sex pervert (http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-red-mentor-was-a-pervert/) in their 24 August report. (Kincaid falsely attributed the "pervert" claim to the British website.) On 14 October, AIM again escalated the charges by claiming Davis was an "admitted child molester" (http://www.aim.org/aim-column/was-a-communist-obamas-sex-teacher/).

There are at least four distinct disclaimers that indemnify Frank Marshall Davis from literal attribution of this novel:

a. According to dictionary.com, "identity" means "condition or character as to who a person or what a thing is: a case of mistaken identity." Changing name AND identities means changing names AND other "condition or character as to who a person or what a thing is," which may include biographical data such as age.

b. "Taken from actual experiences" does not mean they are accurate representations of actual experiences. It only means they are based on actual experiences.

c. Edgar Tidwell, the expert on the life and writing of Frank Marshall Davis, says the book is "semiautobiographical," which (according to dictionary.com) means "1. pertaining to or being a fictionalized account of an author's own life. 2. pertaining to or being a work of fiction strongly influenced by events in an author's life."

d. Further, scandalous memoirs such as "Sex Rebel: Black (Memoirs of a Gash Gourmet)" have been a literary genre for centuries. According to Wikipedia, such fictional novels are allegedly factual, but are largely invented. The title, alone, qualifies it as a "scandalous memoir."

In an honest evaluation, any of these disclaimers should protect the author from literal interpretation. The combination of all four should provide absolute protection from any culpability. Unfortunately, Davis's accusers are dishonest. Like Mike Nifong, the disgraced ex-D.A. in the Duke lacrosse case, their campaign to demonize their target ignores exculpatory evidence in their reckless rush to judgment. In order to smear Barack Obama through guilt-by-association with Frank Marshall Davis, they are virtually lynching Davis by grossly misrepresenting his character and influence. Such misrepresentation may be symptomatic of the accuser's own psychological disorder, indicated by projection of the accuser's own pedophilic fantasies onto the author.

In "Sex Rebel," Davis's Bob Greene (not unlike Nabokov's Humbert Humbert) hesitates at a pubescent girl's sexual invitation, but foolishly relents. Like "Lolita," Davis's faux foreword is written by a Ph.D impersonator who details the psychological significance of the memoir. Like Nabokov, Davis wanted to write under a pseudonym to shield his reputation, but felt compelled to reveal his authorship. As a result, however, Davis has been posthumously accused of pedophilia, while "Lolita" is "considered by many to be one of the finest novels written in the 20th century." In 1998, it was named the fourth greatest English language novels of the 20th century by the Modern Library," despite also being initially dismissed as pornography, according to Wikipedia.

This deliberate misrepresentation is only the latest in a long series of falsehoods by AIM professional prevaricators. Their "specific misrepresentation" is documented at http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/Kaleokualoha/gGxdvX. I invite any person of integrity to refute my evidence against any of these AIM lies. If AIM had authentic evidence of Davis's radical influence, they would not need to fabricate such evidence.

So "Frank" had a young girl friend named ANN.... isn't Obama's Mom's middle name Ann? Maybe the Ann of Frank's desire was 16 or 17, not 13 . Just like Obama's Mom was when she moved to Hawaii and her daddy got real friendly with fellow commie Frank Davis. And maybe Frank is more than a "father figure" to Obama.

Most Rev. Archbishop Gregori

Could it be possible that the 13 year-old girl, Anne, "raped" by Davis and his wife, and Obama's mother Stanley Ann Dunham were one and the same person? That would explain the strong physical resemblance between Obama and Davis.

I don't believe Obama's mother ever married the Kenyan, which would help explain Michelle Obama's statement that Obama's mother was "Very young and very single," when she had Obama.

Just a thought, something to make you say: "Hmmmmm"

Kaleokualoha

You will find that contrary to fairy tales drifting around the blogosphere, Davis never "admitted" that any of the events from his novel actually happened in real life. You will find that critics are trying to railroad Davis with trumped-up evidence.

Davis wrote a semi-autobiographical NOVEL. FYI: a novel is a work of FICTION! In this regard, Davis's book is like Samuel Clemens "Roughing It," in that they were both written under pseudonyms that were also fictional characters in their stories:

"Samuel Clemens wrote autobiographical novels under the pseudonym "Mark Twain," including "Roughing It," which "follows the travels of young Mark Twain through the Wild West during the years 1861–1867. After a brief stint as a Confederate cavalry militiaman, he joined his brother Orion Clemens, who had been appointed Secretary of the Nevada Territory, on a stagecoach journey west. Twain consulted his brother's diary to refresh his memory and borrowed heavily from his active imagination for many stories in the novel." - Wikipedia

In both cases authors used pseudonyms to publish autobiographical novels that were "fictionalized but still based upon actual occurrences." In both cases these novels presented fictionalized adventures of their pseudonymous characters.

Does anyone claim that the adventures of "Mark Twain" literally occurred in the life of Samuel Clemens, because "Mark Twain" said they happened? If not, then why should anyone claim that the adventures of Bob Greene literally occurred in the life of Frank Marshall Davis, because "Bob Greene" said they happened? Fair weather principles indicate bias.

If there is any fault in this argument, please advise. Thanks!

Kaleokualoha

Toby Hamden's telegraph.uk story is a masterpiece of propaganda. Through clever wording, it falsely attributes the statements of fictional character Bob Greene to actual author Frank Marshall Davis. Davis undeniably wrote a scandalous memoir-novel under the pseudonym Bob Greene, one chapter of which is devoted to fictional character Bob Greene and his wife having sex with a thirteen-year old girl. This fact was accurately reported on August 24, 2008 by Toby Hamden on a British website
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2601914/Frank-Marshall-Davis-alleged-Communist-was-early-influence-on-Barack-Obama.html).


From this kernel of truth, however, forensic deconstruction may reveal that Hamden and others skillfully built a slanderous house of cards in framing Davis as a pedophile based solely on his novel. To wit:

1. FALSE ATTRIBUTION: According to Hamden, "Mr. Davis (writing as Greene) explains that although he has “changed names and identities…all incidents I have described have been taken from actual experiences."

a. Please note that the fictional character Bob Greene, not author Davis, alleges that incidents were taken from actual experiences. Even Hamden's travesty of journalism only stated that Mr. Davis confirmed that he was the author, not that Davis said the events actually occurred in his own life.

b. Casual readers of Hamden's story may not have noticed this sleight of hand (fallacy of equivocation) when substituting author Davis for fictional character Bob Greene as the subject of experiences in the book. In this one maneuver, Hamden cleverly shifted the identity of subject "he" from Greene to Davis, thereby indicating that Greene's fictional story actually happened to Davis in real life. This deception, however, reveals Hamden's intent to directly smear Davis and thereby indirectly smear Obama through guilt-by-association.

2. ESCALATION #1: On the same day (August 24) Hamden’s report was published, so-called "Accuracy In Media" (AIM) published a new report citing Hamden’s story. (AIM had already published numerous reports defaming Frank Marshall Davis starting in February 2008.) AIM now reported that Edgar Tidwell, an "expert in the life and writing of Davis," confirmed that Frank Marshall Davis wrote "Sex Rebel: Black" as a semi-autobiographical novel. Despite Tidwell's expert opinion that the novel was SEMI-autobiographical, AIM escalated accusations against Davis by claiming he was a sex pervert (http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-red-mentor-was-a-pervert/) based on Hamden’s same-day report. Kincaid falsely attributed the "pervert" claim to Hamden’s report.

3. ESCALATION #2: On 14 October, AIM again escalated the charges by falsely claiming Davis was an "admitted child molester"
(http://www.aim.org/aim-column/was-a-communist-obamas-sex-teacher/).

4. SUMMARY: Evidence strongly suggests that Hamden and AIM worked together on this story before either post was published on August 24: AIM’s post referenced Hamden’s story although both were published the same day. Further, AIM’s false attribution of the “pervert” claim to Hamden’s story suggests AIM referenced Hamden’s draft rather than a final version.

I have a question for Kaleokualona my understanding is you are related to Mr. Davis and spend a lot of your time trying to basically reflect the. Information. Even though the articles and books speak for themselves. That in it self is sad and I hope you get some peace as it must be hard having a family member like Mr. Davis in your past.
