Congressman Danny K Davis, Feb. 26, 2012.

A longtime ally of President Barack Obama, Congressman Danny K. Davis [D-IL] was in Chicago recently accepting the Social Justice Award from People’s World, a Communist-based website.

The editorial mission is partisan to the working class, people of color, women, young people, seniors, LGBT community, to international solidarity; to popularize the ideas of Marxism and Bill of Rights socialism. The websites enjoy a special relationship with the Communist Party USA, founded in 1919, and publish its news and views. [Emphasis added]

[Ironically, the staff members of People’s World are members of the Newspaper Guild, CWA, AFL-CIO.]

The award was given to the Congressman at the Chicago headquarters of the Communist Party USA—a location that the Congressman seemed to be perfectly comfortable at accepting his award as you can see by this video [via BigGovernment]

As noted at BigGovernment, Davis is also a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Of course, according to today’s Leftist PC-lexicon, pointing out that Marxists are within the federal government is considered “red baiting.”
