David Horowitz: Obama ‘Manchurian Candidate’

In a lead story published this past weekend on Frontpagemag.com, conservative thinker and best-selling author David Horowitz likens President Barack Obama to the "Manchurian Candidate" — a tool of the far left fostering the implementation of its radical agenda.

In the 1959 book "The Manchurian Candidate" by Richard Condon — which has been made into two movies — an American soldier is captured during the Korean War, taken to Manchuria in China, and brainwashed into being an unwitting assassin for the communists.

He becomes part of a plot to kill a U.S. presidential nominee to aid the ascension of the "Manchurian Candidate" — a candidate secretly backed by communists.

Horowitz is a former leftwing radical who turned conservative. He sees Obama’s manipulators as a coalition of left-wing groups who have helped pave Obama's road to the White House.

One is the Center for American Progress, which is funded by billionaire George Soros and headed by John Podesta, co-chair of the Obama transition team.

Another is the Apollo Alliance, a "coalition of radicals, left-wing union leaders and corporate recruits, which had a major role in designing Obama's green economy plans, including the 'cash for clunkers' program," Horowitz writes on the FrontPageMag.com Web site.

Apollo Alliance's board includes Van Jones, who recently resigned as Obama's "green jobs czar" after his past inflammatory statements came to light. Horowitz notes that Jones is a "self-styled 'communist' and a proponent of the idea that the Katrina catastrophe was caused by 'white supremacy.'"

A key moment in the progress of the left-wing coalition came in 2004 when Soros decided to integrate "anti-American radicals" — including left-wing unions, environmental radicals, and the political organization ACORN — "into the structure of Democratic Party politics," writes Horowitz, founder of The David Horowitz Freedom Center and author of the new book "One Party Classroom."

Soros created what Horowitz called a "Shadow Party" to torpedo President George W. Bush's re-election effort in 2004.

"Soros failed to achieve his goal in 2004 but he went on working to create new elements of the network, such as the Apollo Alliance," Horowitz wrote.

Horowitz argues that Obama’s true colors are beginning to show to the American people.

President Obama's colors have always shown. The time of the working man is upon us. Blue collars up, white collars down.

Horowitz is a shill for the Zionist interests of both political parties. He wants us to continue buying the 2 party adversarial illusion.

Both parties are controlled by the same rich elite interests.

The pendulum has swung to the left. It had to swing!

Kerry was no real candidate against Dubya.

Likewise, McCain was no real candidate against Obama.

We are given false choices. The conservatives haven't had a real candidate in over a decade! We aren't represented. Dubya and Cheney were criminals (as is Obama, et al). These folks don't represent average Americans.

Why do we continue to participate in the sharade which is the election cycle? Why do we vote for these puppets?

Stop defending them. They don't represent you or your family's concerns. They are eliminating our culture and economy. We are becoming enslaved to the international bankers who control both parties.
