The unmentionable facts of Obama's Communitarian mentors

Is there a punishment for using the word communitarianism in articles critical of Obama?

World Net Daily published an article about "mystery man" John McKnight's role in mentoring Obama and never once mentioned McKnight's endorsement of the Communitarian Platform.

This WND article completely ignores McKnight's association with Dr. Amitai Etzioni.

It doesn't tell us about McKnight's other mentor and guru, the one still living, the live one who could answer all kinds of probing questions about Obama's philosophy for building community.

WND neglects to tell us McKnight founded the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) program at Northwestern University. This report doesn't even mention
how closely ABCD ties into the other programs Etzioni suggested for retraining Americans for global citizenship, like Community Policing, Service, Amercorps, GIS mapping and the American Community Survey.

Why does WND tell us is McKnight is a socialist? Why not call him what he is, what he claims to be, in this exclusive report about the most influential communitarian in Obama's rise to power? How is it possible to write an exclusive report about a communitarian and never once use the word? It's not as if Joseph Farah is unfamiliar with the term or the gamers - here's an article he wrote about it in 2001: http://70.85.195.205/news/printer-friendly.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24319.

The answer to my questions is the American alternative press in a nutshell.

Guess who recommended Obama to enter Harvard, Mystery man in senator's memoir now revealed as disciple of socialist agitator
