Security Risk? More Evidence of Mary Jo Kilroy’s Socialist Connections

Like her boss Barack Obama, Ohio Democratic Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy has been accused of hiding a radical past.

Further evidence has emerged confirming that Congresswoman Kilroy was once a member of America’s largest Marxist organization Democratic Socialists of America.

In this post, New Zeal provided documentary evidence that Kilroy was a member of DSA in the early 1990s and was supported by that organization in both her 2006 and 2008 Congressional races.

Now comes more confirmation of Kilroy’s socialist ties from an article in Oakland California based Marxist journal CrossRoads, October 1992. The author Bob Fitrakis, is also a long time DSA member and was himself a Democratic Congressional candidate in 1992 in the same district.

Note that Fitrakis mentions the 1990 candidacy of Tom Erney, also a DSA member.

DSA member Tom Erney stood unsuccessfully for the seat in 1990. DSAer Bob Fitrakis also stood in 1992. Former(?) DSA member Kilroy stood unsuccessfully for the seat in 2006 and successfully in 2008 – both times with DSA support.

This is strong evidence that a Marxist organization infiltrated a Democratic Party local over more than a decade until they succeeded in putting one of their own into Congress on the Democrat ticket.

To the best of my knowledge, none of the three comrades ever declared their Marxist loyalties to the voters of Ohio.

Writing for a Marxist audience, note that Fitrakis emphases Kilroy’s membership of the National Lawyers Guild.

Founded by the Communist Party USA in the late 1930s, the NLG is still today a radical organization, infiltrated by Marxists from several radical organizations.

To this day, the NLG is the US affiliate of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers, a well documented front of the former Soviet Union. Today, the IADL is dominated not by Moscow, but by Cuba and other third-world communists and radicals.

It is not known if Kilroy is still involved with NLG, but her husband, labor lawyer Robert Handelman is still a member.

Kilroy likes to pose as a moderate Democrat. She even serves on the House Homeland Security Committee.

Yet she is tied to two radical organizations, one of which (DSA) has a former leader, Kurt Stand, still in jail for spying for the former East Germany and Soviet Union.

Mary Jo Kilroy has not been open about her past and possibly current allegiances.

The media needs to be asking this woman some serious questions.

There are security implications here.
