Barack Guevara
IBD ^ | February 12, 2008

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.

Nice poster.
Sadly, most kids won't get it. 1/2 wearing the shirts are revolutionaries or extremely sympathetic. the other useful-idiot hipster-wannabees will not accept the truth.

Of course, I'm in a pessimistic mood today.

Can anyone find a good SSRI/SNRI not manufactured in China?

Well, the nice, clean-cut kids at the YAF booth handing out the posters at CPAC sure get it. One young lady claimed the posters were hanging all over her campus (I didn't ask what campus, unfortunately).

Sadly - as you know - these good kids are in the minority...

Interesting as is the link pissant highlighted in #7 and #26. If true, I wish they waited until the general election to expose it — AFTER she was defeated.

Do you know when the interview aired? I ask because I wonder if this fellow contacted Drudge.

Obama is a very persuasive speaker.

So was Hitler.

Just curious—what does your tagline mean?

It's a line from "The Blues Brothers". Jake orders it in the soul food restaraunt when they go to get Matt Guitar Murphy and Blue Lou. I think Elwood orders plain white toast.

He filed lawsuit aginst Obama and his manager Axelrod on Feb 11th to prevent them form doing a search and destroy mission on him, which they’ve apparently started.

Yet the media is spiking this story as if he is Juanita Broderick.

Here’s his youtube site.

If Obama gets the nod he’ll be the gift that keeps on giving ... in terms of the many detestable kooks he’ll have supporting and even working for him. I saw the youtube interview with this particular volunteer and I’m sure there are thousands just like her. And he’ll never say no to them, either.

The left who will vote for him consider this an attribute.

Well, if there is any truth to this, I’d expect more people to be coming out of the wood work with the same types of stories.

Oh, I thought it was Hillary’s room service order at that hotel she trashed in Iowa.

That is good!

I have to save this one for future reference.

Who knows. He may not be a serial BJ recipient ala Clinton.

But the guy ain’t going away anytime soon. See post 90

I don’t think that kind of behavior tends to be isolated incidents.
