Tsering Namgyal, a journalist based in Minneapolis, was jolted by the Dalai Lama’s talk to 150 Chinese students this month at University of Minnesota. Writing at Religion Dispatches, he says:

Midway through the conversation, His Holiness, much to their surprise, told them “as far as socio-political beliefs are concerned, I consider myself a Marxist … But not a Leninist,” he clarified.

When one student asked it this didn’t contradict the Dalai Lama’s philosophy, he replied:

Marx was not against religion or religious philosophy per se but against religious institutions that were allied, during Marx’s time, with the European ruling class. He also provided an interesting anecdote about his experience with Mao. He said that Mao had felt that the Dalai Lama’s mind was very logical, implying that Buddhist education and training help sharpens the mind. He said he met with Mao several times, and that once, during a meeting in Beijing, the Chinese leader called him in and announced: “Your mind is scientific!” — an assessment that was followed by the famous line, “religion is poison.”

Today on The Laura Ingraham Show, Harry Alford, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, blasted President Obama’s anti-business administration in an explosive interview.

Alford, a 2008 Obama supporter, labeled the administration “Marxist” and “fanatical.” “They might as well put on the brown shirts and swastikas,” he said.

Alford: “It’s starting to look Marxist, to me.”

Ingraham: “Marxist? You voted for him.”

Alford: “The worst mistake I ever made in my life.”

Ingraham (Sounding astonished): “Why did you vote for him?”

Alford:: “Because he was Black. Because he was black…. And that is a lesson I will take to my grave…”

(Astonished Ingraham): “So, you felt compelled to vote for him. Well, at least that’s an honest answer, I appreciate that.”

Alford: “Well it was HOPE.. It was HOPE… It was HOPE, ya know?”

I wonder if Joy Behar and her race card carrying side kick Whoopi will call Harry Alford a racist.

I think hell must have frozen over.  Never in my wildest dreams would I expect a huge liberal like Mort Zuckerman to speak as honestly as he has about Obama, what caused the housing crisis, the truth about health-care, and the mess that Obama and the Democrats are causing.  As smart as Zuckerman is he still can’t figure out why Obama and his allies; Reid and Pelosi, are taking us down this path.  He still hasn’t realized that Obama is not a Democrat, but a Marxist-Socialist and that is why his actions make no sense to Zuckerman.

My liberal readers really should listen carefully to what Mort Zuckerman is saying.

In order not to be seen as a “sell out”, Obama writes in his book that he sought out certain friends and certain groups who shared a similar ideology. Care to guess what that ideology might be?  Let Barack Obama tell you in his own words.
