Obama's Newest Marxist: Ben Scott

By Douglas V. Gibbs

You know, it is kind of funny, because I wrote a piece this morning about how Obama loves to surround himself with Marxist radicals.

Then I come across this story about Ben Scott, the policy director at a George Soros-funded, Marxist-founded organization calling itself Free Press, who was just given a key Obama appointed position at the State Department. Ben Scott, Marxist extraordinaire, has been named a policy adviser for innovation at the State Department.

Okay, the leftist may say, just because Scott worked for Free Press, it doesn't make him a Marxist.

How about the fact that Scott authored a book, "The Future of Media," which was edited by the founder of Free Press, Robert W. McChesney. And guess what? McChesney is an avowed Marxist who has recommended capitalism be dismantled.

Oh, and remember self-proclaimed communist Van Jones? He came from the board of the Free Press too!

Wow. If Obama surrounds himself with any more communists, we might have to think he is the ring leader for a Bolshevik plot, or something.

No chuckles on that one?
