I have heard that Obama quoted the marxist manifesto in his DNC speech. What are those quotes?

Question

This is NOT an anti Obama post. I just want the untainted facts and doubt I can get them from my current sources.

Answer 1

No, he didn't.  If you have some info to the contrary then reference it in a link in your details.  Othewise, it sounds like you heard some of the usual c**p from the right-wing punditry.

Answer 2

  He didn't so whoever told you that is just trying to yank your chain or they are so far right that they are wacko and brainwashed.

Answer 3

If he did, that just proves he's a commie.

Answer 4

you heard wrong.  you either heard that on Republican hate radio , or you need to get some smarter friends that aren't repeating nonsense.

for jokers like "enormous"  - brother's keeper is in many places in the Bible.  It might not use those specific words, but the meaning is none the less the same.  Pick up a copy sometime and read it.  You might like it.

Answer 5

well... I don't know for sure... but the Communist manifesto has a lot of "we can do it if we all work together" kind of stuff in it...

I mean... all politicians say that... JFK... Reagan...Heck, Hillary's book was "it takes a village to raise a child"... which I agree with... but it is a somewhat marxist attitude technically...

Answer 6

He used the words "it, or, the, this, is, an, when, and he" If that ain't "commie talk" I don't know what is.

It sucks to be a Republican...huh?

Very good op-ed in the New York Times will help. Students of economics are always required to read Karl Marx. He is one of the most important men of the 21st century.  

Answer 8

I'm very familiar with the communist manifesto

and have seen Obama's speech.

As a proud Marxist I can guarantee you there were absolutely no quotes taken from Marx work.

The people making those claims are either very uninformed or  attempting to falsely portray Senator Obama as a Marxist

Hope that helps

Answer 9

Obama said, " I am my brother's keeper ".

His brother lives in a shack and goes by the nickname "Marx" who cooks an Italian dish called "man! what a pesto".
