White House Official Heather Higginbottom Needs to Explain Marxist Connection
by Trevor LoudonThere has been some speculation that Heather Higginbottom, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, may get the top job, as her boss, Jack Lew leaves to become President Obama’s chief of staff.
Before Ms. Higginbottom is considered for one of the key posts in the U.S. government, maybe she should be asked to explain this photo from October 30, 2001.
- Heather Higginbottom, William Julius Wilson, Dottie Stevens, Jack Clark and Robert J. Haynes
The photo depicts Heather Higginbottom, then working for Massachusetts Senator John Kerry addressing a Boston Democratic Socialists of America organized forum “Welfare, Children and Families: The Impact of Welfare Reform”, with panelists William Julius Wilson, Dottie Stevens, Jack Clark and Bob Haynes.
Jack Clark , at the time, was was Boston D.S.A. Chair, William Julius Wilson was a long time D.SA. member and Bob Haynes was President of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, with which D.S.A worked “frequently”.
The Boston D.S.A. logo can be seen on the wall in the center right of the picture.
Despite its relatively innocuous name, Democratic Socialists of America is a radical Marxist organization that believes, according to Democratic Left, Spring 2007, page 9
Our goal as socialists is to abolish private ownership of the means of production.
One of the panelists, in the Boston forum , William Julius Wilson, incidentally addressed another D.S.A. forum in Chicago, 5 years before.
Over three hundred people attended the first of two Town Meetings on Economic Insecurity on February 25. in Ida Noyes Hall at the University of Chicago. Entitled “Employment and Survival in Urban America”, the meeting was sponsored by the UofC DSA Youth Section, Chicago DSA and University Democrats.
The panelists on that occasion were Toni Preckwinkle, Alderman of Chicago’s 4th Ward, Barack Obama, candidate for the 13th Illinois Senate District, Professor , Center for the Study of Urban Inequality at the University of Chicago, Professor Michael Dawson, University of Chicago and Professor Joseph Schwartz, Temple University and a member of D.S.A.’s National Political Committee.
That is the only confirmed incident of Obama’s direct involvement with D.S.A. per se, while he lived in Chicago.
Obama was at the time however close to several known D.S.A, members in Chicago, including his personal physician and mentor in socialized health care Quentin Young, his neighbor and friend Rabbi Arnold Jacob Wolf, his friend and political mentor Timuel Black and his political allies Saul Mendelson and Reps Jan Schakowsky and Danny Davis.
Since entering office President Obama has appointed several D.S.A. connected individuals to influential positions in his administration, including ;
- Ron Bloom , former Manufacturing Czar.
- David Bonior, member of the Obama Economic Transition Team
- Rosa Brooks, senior advisor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Michele Flournoy.
- Carol Browner, former Energy Czar/Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy
- Eliseo Medina, served on Obama’s Latino Advisory Council
- Hilda Solis, Secretary of Labor.
- Cornel West, served on Obama’s National Black Advisory Council.
If Heather Higgingbottom is indeed promoted, will it be another hat tip to Obama’s Marxist D.S.A. comrades? Will it be yet another case of the socialist nepotism, so rife in the Obama Administration?
Perhaps Ms. Higginbottom, couldand restore confidence in her office, , by publicly explaining the exact nature of her relationship to Democratic Socialists of America.

We can't survive another 4 years of this.
"then working for John Kerry…". What a tangled web they weave.
So maybe another marxist in the Obama empire? Should be news, but it ain't. Obama has been hanging with them for much of his life for anyone that cares.
So much for HOPE that Chuckle head could CHANGE for the good of the country.
The mainstreaming of those in the revolutionary New Left will continue as long as their ideology is viewed in the name of 'Diversity', as just another valid viewpoint. Some of our citizens see the problem and understand the connections, but many do not. Education about these people and their causes must become common knowledge and discussed in every home and public place in this country. That is the job before us. . .
Why should she have to explain her Marxist connections? Her boss never had to.
Judge the man by the people he surrounds himself with…… Obama told America and the majority didn't listen….
She'll get the promotion unvetted……
It's up to us to demand these socialists be removed through the new administration…..IF, there is a new administration…….(I still have to consider sheeple and the ability of Republicans to snatch defeat from victory).
There exists plenty of blame to be assigned on the Democrats for their anti American, anti Constitution stances and positions, however, but so too does there exist a great deal of blame placed on the GOP, the stuck on stupid party, for standing idle and watching it all happen, worse yet for "compromising" with the very thing that destroying this nation, and the Liberty it was instituted to protect.
Wait, are they standing idle and watching it all happen, or is it an actuality that they ar actively aiding and abetting its happening?
Folks, toss them out, every last one of them on both sides of the "aisle".
Enough is enough.
They are just participating in freedom of religion.
IMPEACH obozzzzzo
Are we going to sit by and watch our country destroyed by Obama? When does the civil war begin? Enough is enough!!! Since our representatives seem do be doing nothing to stop him, it may be time for "We the people" to step in.
Since the former German National Socialist Party was known as the Nazi Party, shouldn't this bunch, the Boston Democrat Socialists be called the Batsies?
We'll be lucky to survive the year…
The sooner the better.
I would urge everyone who reads this, to click on the authors links.
"Despite its relatively innocuous name, Democratic Socialists of America is a radical Marxist organization that believes, according to Democratic Left, Spring 2007, page 9"
especially those in this quote.
obama's whole administration is filled with these turds….
Put this administration up for examination by the American public 25 years ago and they all would be run out of town and kicked back to the USSR where they belong.
America has become so ignorant to everything around them.
With another debt ceiling increase coming shortly (and probably at least another to follow) you are proven right brother, he is trying to collapse our country.
Sad thing is he has help doing it.
No quarter for The Marxist or his numerous accomplices.
"as long as their ideology is viewed ….. as just another valid viewpoint"
I've been making this argument for a long time. That is, while anyone has the "right" to discuss ideologies or alternate forms of government, when any organization proclaims that:
"Our goal as socialists is to abolish private ownership of the means of production,"
that becomes more than discussion; it becomes a domestic threat to our Constitution and the guarantees that go along with it. These people aren't proposing to amend the Constitution, they are actively working to subvert it.
There is a BIG difference.
The connection is clear.
Her boss is a Marxist.
First, someone's got to get Obama to explain his past.
Time for some Super-PAC commercials. Just how many Marxist connections can you list in a 30 second ad?
Why should anyone be concerned NOW? The ENTIRE GROUP this Antri-American president has placed throughout the 'HEN HOUSE' are not following laws, not protecting the Constitution, and really just simply should not be a part of our government, or for that matter, be allowed to reside in America. But with the new government 'Don't Ask, Don't Do Any Work, and Get Paid Well' programs installed by the Great Mathematically Challenged One, who cares? Only Americans care and it surley seems to me that under this regime, we Americans have been marginalized to a scary degree…and this will not stand.
This program has become too infested with worms and virises…..
It may soon be time to upload American Revolution 2.0…….
White House official, Marxist, what's to explain?
Time for the TEA Party to occupy the White House.
And we both know John, that is the very definition of Treason.
She's a communist.
No more explanation necessary.
America is being LIED TO about everything around them!
Yeah, crybaby Boehner and wussbag McConnel…..
"Our goal as socialists is to abolish private ownership of the means of production"
Our goal as private property owners is to abolish the means of producing more socialists.
And, the clock is ticking fast towards crashing the system altogether…..
Good luck with that…
It IS up to us bro. In the country our founders created, it would be done with a vote………there…….fixed it.
The Fascists have changed the rules though, they control the vote counting. Stalin said "it doesn't matter who you vote for, it's who counts the votes that matters".
If they think they can't steal the elections by fraud, they have their scorched earth backup plan already in place. They also underestimate the people of America, didn't disarm us and they are getting pretty angry. Here's the new Gallup poll:
PRINCETON, NJ — Political ideology in the U.S. held steady in 2011, with 40% of Americans continuing to describe their views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This marks the third straight year that conservatives have outnumbered moderates, after more than a decade in which moderates mainly tied or outnumbered conservatives.
SHTF.
My God, Cowboy! I got half way through the Key Wiki article and couldn't continue on without a break. As I'm typing this, all I can think of is, "Joe McCarthy should have had it so easy." These traitors don't even bother to hide anymore! Every other one is an "acedemic" or involved with a labor union in some capacity. At least we know where we must focus future "reforms".
"It is not how you vote that counts, it is who counts the votes that matters"
Josef Stalin.
Screw all of this…
My time is better spent, cleaning my guns and sharpening my knives….
I have been following the infiltration of the New Left and Progressive movements into our political structure for much of the past 35 years. Through slow, deliberate action, the movement that railed against the establishment and advised to not trust anyone over the age of thirty-five, have now become the establishment and are well past the cut-off age.
Their movement is in every state and at every level of political offices. Changing the face of Washington will go a long way to begin the restoration of our county, but the entire nation is going to require a facelift. . .
Senator Sessions needs to call Mizz. Bottom back to the stand. Before we be Hittinbottom.
Cowboy – This is scary stuff! These people are using OUR system to destroy us. The lack of media with any integrity is making this possible. Without exposure they could succeed. We need to make the MSM report this somehow. The majority of people in this country would not accept this, if it can be exposed.
Nothing is these peoples' pasts surprises me.
These commies like latching onto those generous paychecks as long as they can. For most it's the biggest payday they've ever received in their lives. Fortunately they will all get purged when Romney gets sworn in.
Absolutely.
Their quote of:
"Our goal as socialists is to abolish private ownership of the means of production.
Of course, there is always the veiled, and implied threat of "one way or the other, at any and all costs".
Quite frankly, I'm growing tired of all this crap.
I think we just need to kill them.
Yup.
Sure enough.
They have about a one hundred year head start, and are organized.
99.9% of the folks on our side, don't even have a clue that this stuff is going on.
Why are we not surprised,…….?????
Because such things are now so easily accepted.
'She's not really a commie, commie' and,….
as for us,…….well here's a thin slice of,……..
how, we as a people, have lost it.
http://www.allproudamericans.com/No-Laughing-at-t...
Not to mention George Soros et al.
Correct on all points bro…..IMHO, that poll alone has them very concerned. It can sway the GOP primary in any direction between now and then. Explains why the various wind directions claim Romney as the nominee for the GOP…..propaganda, propaganda, propaganda…….
I see some moderates (not all mind you), as fence sitters…..they will flip with each change of what they see as the majority. No ability to think for themselves……again IMHO, boderline liberals……but, I do not feel the two (mods/libs) will join to create a majority…….there's way more logic and values found in conservative ideology. The only reason it's demonized so much is because it's predicated on self-sufficiency…..
Liberals, the mentally challenged people they are, are incapable of surviving (long-term) solely on their own efforts…..parasites, ALL of them……
Voter fraud is guaranteed……I suspect, everywhere this go-round……
And sedition. But when's the last time we saw the Justice Dept charging anyone for sedition or treason? Instead, they're moving in with guns blazing at Gibson Guitars for importing hardwood.
How messed up is this country?
Reminds me of a church in Wisconsen that was infested with brown recluse spiders…
After several unsuccessful fumigations, they gave-up and burned the place down. They were lucky to have the funds to rebuild….
It's no longer a matter of if….
and we'll soon know when…

but it's the guards that have the guns and the keys…
Ahhhh….you have finally reached the only solution……….
Bingo.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” Cicero
It wouldn't surprise me, if Soros had those two on speed-dial….
indeed…..soon enough…..
Sorry for the double post. My web browser has been stuttering when I post…
Sterilize All Commies!!!!
I firmly believe that THEY are going to give US our opportunity to do just that. If I were confronted with a riot or a mob, I'll do what is necessary to protect my family first, and my conservative neighbors second. The liberal and progressive ones can fend for themselves. They'll be the first to fall. They have no clue as to how to protect themselves. Self rightous fools!
The only wild card….Yesterday's article about the Coast Guard being deployed 100 miles inside our borders to, supposedly rein in the union mob in Longview (just north of us), I believe is a trial balloon to see if We the People allow the military to operate within the United States. How will the military act once the feces hit the fan?
In retrospect, it may be hubris to think a thing this good would last….
Well, I'd like to think it'll last but….it will not be without some extremely tumultuous situations…..
I'm looking forward to my first julienned Progressive….
Are y'all hearing that id-jit on another press conference right now? Asking for more "power"? Jeeze!!!!
Ah, well, I have a hard time imagining that they were all born that freaking stupid. I was thinking more along the lines of abolishing the Dept. of Ed. for starters. You do present an intriguing possibility, though…..
They'll find out soon enough…
I'm a thinkin' that they don't taste like chicken.
Do we really need an explanation? Do not all 'real' Americans know what is going on here that are NOT deaf, dumb and blind?
America…'the squeaky wheel gets the oil"…and we need to do us some 'squeaking'!
Call/email every Congressman in your district/state…and then go and call/email the leadership of the Congress to tell them exactly how we 'real' Americans are fed up…fed up to here…with their garbage.
What they are doing…and especially for what they are NOT doing!

It is the only way to put the fear in them…the fear of November 2012!

Sadly, no they won't, Crosscut. Guess under whose watch they rose through the ranks to get to the positions they hold today? This didn't happen overnight or even, over the last 3 years.
Here's the thing that I find even scarier: shouldn't Congress have known this first? Does no one do their homework any more? Even more, over 70 members of the house and senate are also members of the DSA swearing to tear down what they have sworn to uphold. They should be impeached for ethics violations or inability to fulfill oath.
What's the news here.The Obama administration has always been loaded up with socialist,Marxist and communists.Van Jones a self avowd communist was Obama's first green energy czar.Anita Dunn his first commumication director said one of her favorite philosophers was Mao Se Dung.He got rid of these people early on because he had to get his stimuless bill and socialized medicine bill passed.
He knows he not getting re-elected so his mask of deciet is off.He blazed a path of destruction through this country the last three years and that's nothing compared to what's coming this next year.
Nothing good ever comes easy…..
Now, why would I want to suffer through that?
I would be afraid of disease.
Only the pigs, I'll feed them to, will know….
and it's not like I'd get an answer, if I asked….
He's claiming to be able to lead government reform….he wants the "power" to consolidate government and will do it "with or without Congress"…..
Unfortunately, Leaux, it ain't gonna' happen. You know it as well as I. The bureaucracy is chock full of these socialist parasites and they don't exactly list their membership in the SDS on their resumes!
Besides, anyone who suggests a purge will be automatically accused of McCarthyism by the LSM and the American sheeple will go along with them.
Remember, despite being totally crushed by war, the Germans never really got the Nazis out of the system. Still haven't.
All of America cannot be so dumb to give even one minute thought to give Obama 4 more years to kill off waht is left. This man has a Whitehouse full of socialist czars that report only to him. How many other government staff that have been hired under Obama are included with this kind of agenda? Anybody But Obama ABO
What a great quote, Keltic! Nice pickup!
It just goes to prove the olden times folk had time to dedicate deep thought to the problems as they present themselves. These days, what with the expansion of information technology to the nth degree, not to mention Twitter and the Cartoon Network (which are, more or less, the same thing in my book) we are bombarded with so much garbage no one has time to think straight!
It's not just the obvious villains. It's also the uninformed voters that keep drinking the kool-aid. All one has to do is look at what is happening in the EU to see where we're headed. Democracy has been all but destroyed over there, meanwhile countries are crumbling, and those in control refuse to let go of the horrific EU experiment.
The exact same thing is happening here. Obama has repeatedly gone around the constitution, and the debt he's racked up in his time is crippling us. And now he wants more of it and his cheerleaders are going right along with it.
Heck, Max, they don't even need to do "homework"! They have Google!
Makes one wonder what 365 members (you know, less your 70) and their staffs actually do for their money, eh?
and, in reality, there's really nothing we can do…
Our protests have all fallen of deaf ears…..
What else would a dictator want to do?
Even if he doesn't get elected, Salty, you know all the "right" thinkin' folk in the bureaucracy have been promoted to higher positions over the last three years. Not to mention all those who have made advances under cover over the last 30! We all know the government is run by bureaucrats in one way or another, not politicians!
And bureaucrats cannot be fired. For any reason it seems! Sure, conservative thinking heads of departments can be appointed but then they have to watch over the actions of thousands in this insanely bloated government.
No, it will take changing of the firing rules (against the unions!) and a purge that the LSM will fight tooth and nail and the American sheeple will go along with it. You know this as well as I.
Right on bro…..a dictator indeed!!!
I'll credit Obama for doing one thing and that is getting bloggers and others to dig deeper and exposing the behind the scenes machinations that are working for the radical change to out society, culture and nation.
I fear, however, that it may be too late because there just aren't enough people to out vote those who agree with this ideology or who want what they promise.
Time will tell.
They've just been repackaged as Progressives….
Same as the Communists here….
I'll be wearing gloves…
You're correct Nick…..despite all efforts to purge Congress, Senate and the Presidency and his czars, these "communists" will remain and put forth every effort to continue their agenda…..all the while doing what they do best; demonizing everything that isn't in line with their desire to destroy America…..
We're in for the fight of our lives…..
Would it be troublesome or untoward to say we are "hittenbottom"?
More damning is a photo of Higginbottom with former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, proving that she supports releasing convicted murderers into our safe American communities.
It's worse than that. When we protest or raise a red flag on something we're demonized. Look at what James O'Keefe is being subjected to for exposing how easy it is to commit voter fraud in NH.
I'm going back and forth with a foaming at the mouth d-bag on that thread. instead of seeing the problem and ewanting to do something about it, this d-bag wants O'Keefe in prison. It's ridiculous.
Isn't it amazing that even though the human mind has created technology that changed this globe, the facts of human nature never change. His views are just as valid today as they were over 2,000 years ago.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear a leading politician express similar views today? However, one must remember that Cicero's views on such matters eventually had him charged as an enemy of the state and led to his demise.
Unfortunately, THAT bit of human nature most certainly has not changed either. . .
It might involve shiny brass poles…
Yeah, we're really well represented…
If Boehner was my lawer in traffic court, I'd likely end up being shot by the bailiff….
Yup, we've got our own Bobby Mugabe…..
Apparently, according to this http://www.anncoulter.com/ , Max!
How much do you want to bet someone took my comment seriously?
What did we do to deserve these people?
Whatever it is, we better stop it, right now…
Maybe one will pay you a visit….
The whole frigging administration needs to publicly confess to communist ties and their use of sworn enemies of this Republic……..What the hell happened to the law outlawing the communist party and like organizations?
