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.

I’m sure there are a few Che flags gracing the employee breakrooms at a lot of newspapers, TV stations and radio stations.

They MSM thinks its normal.

re your posts 48 & 50.....well said! Obama has to understand that many of us have, as you say, 401K’s, pension plans that are tied to Wall St. So, either, he’s just saying things that will make ‘the masses’ ‘feel’ he will save them (i read he was trained in the Alinsky method—knock people down hard, then raise them up) or he subscribes to socialist ideas OR he really believes what he’s saying.....and none of these options, imho, are good for an American President.

I just don’t understand how so many people are swallowing his rhetoric without doing any research....grrrr

FYI: Barack Hussein Obama was about 18 mos old - a toddler -when the Cuban Missile Crisis happened. And he gets a ‘naive’ title. Well, I guess I will take an ‘old man’ over an extremely well educated naive one who is labeled with as “naive idealism is based on a false understanding of history” any day.

“Obama’s naive idealism is based on a false understanding of history. Cuba is a nation that aimed Soviet missiles at us in 1962 and is likely to do the same if and when Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez gets advanced weapons from Russia or Iran. That’s not all:

• Also in 1962, Cuba attempted to launch the first 9/11-style attack on New York’s subways and department stores — with the mastermind behind that none other than Che Guevara himself.”

Che Guevara, the same as the picture that is hanging in one of Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign quarters.

I guess I could compare it to Saddam Hussein picture hanging in the quarters, oh, ya, and a coffee cup with pix also instead.

Yep, put your faith in God, but put your trust in the Mauser (as the Boers would put it).

What are the chances that the GOP can exploit this in the General Election?

Looks very good devolve. Would look good with a light sepia tone to the white parts too.

As Rush said the other day, Obama is the best he has ever heard at sounding great while saying absolutely nothing.He will get his a$$ handed to him in real debates without the teleprompter.

Who cares? It is extremely impossible for Hillary to win the nomination. I think it’s safe for us to stop kissing Obama’s butt now.

I think Obama’s followers want to get off their anti-depressants, and they see Barak as their substitute. They are so self-absorbed and needy; far from being self-sustaining and responsible. Wait ‘til they find out there’s a price to pay for their anticipated free stuff.

PING for CHE OBAMA Graphic.

All we need now is the “CHANGE” graphic with a Islamic crescent and hammer and sickle for the “G”.

I picked up this brilliant poster at CPAC a few days ago. You can get one free from Young America's Foundation.

These should be plastered all over college campuses nationwide, IMO...
