More Celebrity Endorsements for Barack Obama: Kim Jong-Il and Fidel Castro
LGF ^

Posted on 06/22/2008 10:34:05 AM PDT by newbie2008

It’s nearly unanimous; terrorist groups and cruel dictators have made a clear choice in the US presidential election: OneFreeKorea - Obama Gets Another Unwanted Endorsement.

The Chosun Sinbo, the mouthpiece of North Korea’s Japanese front organization Chongryon and often for the North Korean regime itself, has announced its preference for Obama over McCain, whom it calls “a variant of Bush” and “nothing better than a scarecrow of neoconservatives,” which is a bit odd considering that the Bush Administration’s giveaway diplomacy is better for Kim Jong Il than even Clinton’s awful performance.

It’s worth pausing to consider the disturbing rhetorical similarity between the Chosun Sinbo and Daily Kos, although the sheer incoherence of Bush’s North Korea policy makes any comparison to it questionable. ...

North Korea’s endorsement of Obama will probably draw comparisons to the unwanted Hamas endorsement of Obama, which Hamas later withdrew after Obama spoke at AIPAC’s convention. Fidel Castro, by contrast, took a more sophisticated and self-aware approach:

[O]n Monday [Castro] gave Senator Barack Obama an endorsement of sorts, calling him “the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency” while also berating him for his plan to continue the trade embargo against Cuba. “Were I to defend him, I would do his adversaries an enormous favor,” Mr. Castro said. “I have therefore no reservations about criticizing him.” [N.Y. Times, The Caucus]

Which Castro then proceeded to do, on Obama’s stated support for trade sanctions during a campaign speech to Cuban exiles in Miami.

As pointed out by Melanie Phillips and others, why are the world's muslims enthusiastically supporting Obama the apostate? Wouldn't they normally be clamoring for the opportunity to behead him?

I was waiting to see who Kim Jong Il would endorse to help me make my decision.

Cue the picture of the wall of Osama's Houston campaign office which sports a picture of "Che",who once said....

"Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism, and a battle hymn for the people's unity against the great enemy of mankind: the United States of America."

AND:

"We must carry the war into every corner the enemy happens to carry it: to his home, to his centers of entertainment; a total war. It is necessary to prevent him from having a moment of peace, a quiet moment outside his barracks or even inside; we must attack him wherever he may be, make him feel like a cornered beast wherever he may move."

This international accolade will be more damaging to the USA than any votes from his adoring fans who are idiots.

If he has the likes of all the anti-American leaders in the world on his side - we are doomed.

He will reduce us to third class servitude.

Not if they think that they can pressure/convince him to return to the faith.

If I were Obama I’d ask myself, “why do all of the most brutal sociopaths like me so much?!?”
“I love America, see? I wear my flag pin everyday now. Maybe they think I’m weak? Or inexperienced? Or they might think I’m a marxist? Noooo...... I know what it is: they like Michelle...... yeah that’s it!”

Thank God that Obama is finally being exposed for what he really is. He is no more a Muslim than he is a Christian,but a Communist! It is not quite 20 years since Ronald Reagan destroyed the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact,thereby ending the Cold War without firing a shot!
How tragic it is,to now have a home grown Red actually running for President of the United States!
There must be a smile on Lenin’s corpse.

At this point, I believe the public conversation about this election, at least some of the time, should be openly and specifically: whether or not Obama is a national security threat.

Oh no...

They’ll say look him they love him, he really can bring the world together.

(cough, for the common good of course)
