Its 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 Koreas 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 Administrations giveaway diplomacy is better for Kim Jong Il than even Clintons awful performance.
Its worth pausing to consider the disturbing rhetorical similarity between the Chosun Sinbo and Daily Kos, although the sheer incoherence of Bushs North Korea policy makes any comparison to it questionable. ...
North Koreas endorsement of Obama will probably draw comparisons to the unwanted Hamas endorsement of Obama, which Hamas later withdrew after Obama spoke at AIPACs 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 Obamas stated support for trade sanctions during a campaign speech to Cuban exiles in Miami.
The DSA did.
