Obama's Economic Adviser Was Socialist Party Member?
Who woulda thunk?
The man recently appointed to President-elect Barack Obama's economic transition team was a bona fide member of a major U.S. socialist organization, according to literature from the group.Former Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., reportedly being considered for the Labor secretary position in the incoming Obama administration, has had a longstanding close relationship with the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA, an organization dedicated to transforming America into a socialist society.
Now WND has learned the DSA's official newsletter in 2007 identified Bonior as a DSA member at the organization's Boston branch. Neither the DSA in Boston nor Bonior returned repeated WND calls seeking comment. Obama's transition team did not return a phone call or e-mail inquiry.
Earlier this month, the Detroit chapter of the DSA honored Bonior and his wife, Judy, at its annual dinner. Bonior has been honored at several DSA functions the past six years, including in 2003, when he was the keynote speaker at the U.S. socialist organization's national convention in Detroit.
Nothing to see here, move along.
