Conservative Publisher Confesses Communist Ties

If the late-Senator Joe McCarthy were still alive and asked WorldNetDaily.com's editor-in-chief and publisher Joseph Farah: "Are you or were you ever a Communist," the shocking answer would be "yes" ... at least that's what Farah is now telling us.

Farah recently shocked WorldNetDaily readers by confessing that he was a communist in his youth.

Of course, Farah made the confession to illustrate a broader point that is often lost on cradle conservatives... a point that only men like Farah, David Horowitz and a small group of others understand, simply because, as Farah says "I understand what Obama is and what he is doing because I was once like him: I am a former communist." When people say that Barack Obama is an avowed Marxist and that he is purposefully attempting to destroy the United States of America to lay the groundwork for the "transformation" and "change" that he promised the American people back in 2008, conservative pundits, far too often, roll their eyes and accuse those who make the contention of engaging in gross hyperbole. Men like Farah (and Horowitz) know better. They know better because they once walked the walk and talked the talk. And yes, this writer knows better as well. While my leftists credentials pale in comparison to Farah's (and Horowitz's), I too talked the same talk and walked the same walk in my youth. I know Barack Obama because we share common youthful experiences and beliefs. I know what he believes and what he plans to do because I lived it and such personal experiences can't be dismissed. But Farah expresses it better than I ever could and starts by citing his credentials: "As a youth growing up during the Vietnam War, I was influenced by some of the more extreme, anti-American opposition to that conflict and began to identify with the enemy. I became convinced the U.S. epitomized all that was evil in the world." "During high school, I was arrested in what we called 'anti-war demonstrations' that should be more accurately termed 'anti-American riots.' Just like Obama, my youthful radicalism attracted the attention of powerful and influential people in the country." "I was recruited for full-ride scholarships at colleges like Antioch, known for grooming the next generation of leftists. When I got into trouble for refusing to salute the flag, the American Civil Liberties Union was there, johnny-on-the-spot, to defend me and bring the school principal to his knees." There's much more. If you only read one article this entire week, it should be Farah's confession.
