Barack Guevara
IBD ^ | February 12, 2008

Posted on 02/12/2008 6:45:14 PM PST by Kaslin

Election 2008: How is it a front-runner for the highest office in the land can reject an American flag on his lapel but permit the display of a huge Cuban flag at one of his offices, emblazoned with a mass murderer's mug?


Improbable as it sounds, it's true. Barack Obama, displaying the same "anything goes" standard of patriotism he showed when he ostentatiously refused to wear a U.S. flag in his lapel, now shows he's got a whole different idea about patriotism.

One of Obama's volunteer offices in Houston was caught operating under a huge flag of communist Cuba with Che Guevara's face printed on it, according to images shown on Fox News. Flak from bloggers ensued — followed, of course, by spin control.

But rather than repudiate the image, Obama would only call it "inappropriate," apparently without insisting it be taken down. That contrasts with his dismissal of his Senate colleagues who wear lapel flags as "hypocrites." Some hypocrites.

The display of the Castroite flag with Che's picture on it sends a particularly disturbing message about his campaign. Apparently, Obama tends to attract the kind of people who think of mass murderers like Che and Fidel as romantic revolutionaries. Those same people see Obama as a man with a messianic message. These are the voters he'll be indebted to should he win higher office.

Young people think Che is romantic and the peace sign is cool. They read about the swinging 60's and think they missed out on something, hehehe.

Just heard Obama on Fox News....holy crap. He sounds just like Bobby Kennedy. He is kicking Hillary’s a##.

I haven’t heard a politician “sound” so good and work the crowd this well in ages. Most of the milktoast libs like Gore, Clinton, (insert liberal) are just blow hards, but this guy is an articulate “true believer”.

I disagree with everything he says, but dang it, I like the way he says it.

I’m really torn whether to vote for Obama in the primary or sit it out all together. hahahahahahahaha... just seeing Hillary wet her pants is going to be fun, so I just might do that.

The other good thing is that McCain will get just enough to squeak by Huckleberry and Governor “Nice Hair” Perry can see that his endorsement is worth about as much as a warm bucket of spit.

You forgot his middle name, “hussein”.
The media never states the facts.
But he is halfrican, so i guess that is all that matters.
At least to the press and the blindly obedient followers who have never bothered to do any research on their candidate of choice.
Uninformed voting block, perfect for the uninformed candidate.....

Do you think that Hillary put it in there on her way to El Paso?

Could be. Hillary probably has some of those flags with personalized autographs from Che himself.

Radicals tend to fair poorly in DC. We still got a bunch of Democrat congress critters from Red States who are not going to sign on to a radical Obama agenda who probably can be bought by the stealth Leftist agenda of Clinton inc.

Legislatively an Obama Administration, especially if he beats the notoriously vindictive Senator John McCain for the Presidency, would be easier to beat then the stealth Leftism of the Clinton's.

He certainly had less time and less opportunities for corruption, but he is is very precocious, so to say, in this area and certainly in no way a rookie, even by comparison to Clintons.

Thank you. I think I just explained all you just listed on another thread. This guy is more dangerous than we can imagine. Do not be misled, he must be stopped at all costs.

Yep. The Clinton machine still has plenty of dirty tricks, extortions, lies, bribes, and planted “land mines”.

VA has 19% black population according to their State website. Not nearly enough population to explain this Clinton humiliation

‘...Bottomline: if you are middle class or above, get ready for a helluva financial raping come April 15....’

exactly. and all these cheering people who believe that repealing the Bush tax cuts ‘for the rich’ is a good thing will probably change their minds when they have to pay more for products or they lose their jobs cause businesses and Corporations have to pay much higher taxes. but.....by then, too late....Pres Obama will have 4 years to completely destroy America.

or maybe I’m just plain wrong....maybe IMANUTJOB will like Obama so much, he’ll send us free oil. Hey, free oil, a FREE chicken in every pot, Free health care, Free education.....Free lobotomies.....oh, did that happen already???

He has a cult of personality, she does not. People are lapping-up his platitudes like mother’s milk.
