Support for the radical terrorist John Brown (1800–1859) of Harpers Ferry fame has a long and storied history among liberals. Trevor Loudon at the New Zeal site makes some interesting connections that include President Obama:
Why would Barack Obama choose to give a controversial speech attacking American capitalism in Osawatomie, Kansas? Hang on? Where have I heard that name before? Osawatomie? . . . back in the ’70s? Weather Underground terrorists… Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn. Didn’t Obama used to hang out with those guys? I remember! Osawatomie was the publication of the Weather Underground!
In his December 6, 2011 economic policy speech that he delivered in Osawatomie, President Obama distorted the meaning of capitalism. He stated that capitalism “doesn’t work. It has never worked” unless government is given the power to control the marketplace by smoothing out its inequities.It’s true that President Teddy Roosevelt also spoke there. It seems that the location is a platform for “Progressive” (liberal) views. Roosevelt, often viewed as a conservative, was a “‘trust-buster’ who arbitrarily decided which trusts promoted the national interest and which ones were adverse to it.”
