WND: 'Ellie Light' tied to Daily Kos, Obama-Ayers machine

We should have guessed as much; Ellie Light is apparently a far-left, progressive, female-impersonating, male hippy with ties to the far-left website, the Daily Kos.

WND reports that a male health-care worker who appears to be Ellie Light - the letter writer whose name appeared in dozens of newspapers nationwide praising President Obama - also is a diarist for the far-left Daily Kos website and an online friend of an individual tied to a radical pro-Obama group associated with William Ayers' Weathermen terrorist organization:

Winston Steward, 51, of Frazier Park, Calif., told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer he made up the name "Ellie Light" to protect himself from criticism and possible physical attacks from "conservatives." He said he used fake addresses across the country to get local newspapers to publish his letters.

Steward was one of several individuals who claimed to be Light. The Plain-Dealer, which published some of Light's letters, reported Steward's e-mail address matched the address of Light messages sent to U.S. newspapers. The Plain-Dealer also said that to track Steward, it used phone interviews and public records, including those of marriages, property and professional licenses in California and Texas.

Steward is signed up as a diarist at the Daily Kos, where he has written about such topics as pressuring Republican senators to work with Democrats as well as humanitarian aid for the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.

Steward also is registered as a "social member" of the Huffington Post.

WND has learned that on his Facebook page, Steward lists as a friend California resident Jerry Schaefer. Steward also follows Schaefer on Twitter.

On his own Facebook page, Schaefer declares he is a fan of Progressives for Obama, an independent organization that mobilizes support for Obama initiatives.

WND previously reported Progressives for Obama includes among its ranks many former members of the 1960s radical organization Students for a Democratic Society, from which the Weathermen terrorist group splintered, as well as current and former members of other radical organizations, such as the Communist Party USA and the Black Radical Congress.
