Hey, sorry, it looked good in Word.
Thank you.. the last update I had was the 2008 version..
:)
It's an opportunity to share the 2012 version of HTML, and maybe help others learn how to format.
A teachable moment!
Where are the usual hand-wringers and boycotters beyond the Cuban community? An evil corporation is profiting on the image of a killer! Or is there no outrage because he was way out there on the far Left? Let’s all try and imagine Mercedes using the image of Senator Joseph McCarthy in a car add. He never killed anyone, and to the best of my knowledge he never committed a crime of any kind. But Mercedes would be out of business by now had they used his picture.
Anyone under the age of 35, schooled in our gov’t propaganda institutes, aka, public schools, have, as early as middle school, been well educated on the great martyr HERO, Che.
And they get glowing marks on their praise-filled essays on Che.
Or, like my grandson, who turned in a truthful essay on Che, get called on the carpet.
Willing to betcha there are more Che worshipers out there than those who know the truth.
Anyone who doesn’t know that Communism is alive and well in our public schools - and has been for decades - has Percheron size horse blinders on...
(My grandson is now a multi-decorated Paratrooper.)
But they're definitely not Mercedes types, from what I can tell.
You'd think the Left would decry the use of a marxist icon to sell a “decadent” capitalist icon.
Good photos C21ON!
It shows just how corrupt the Corrupt Liberal Media is that these photos were glossed over during the election campaign.
Imagine if Rep candidate had campaign workers the photo of a Nazi on their office walls.
From Discover the Networks about Che Guevara :

” Chief executioner for the Castro regime, responsible for the murder of thousands
Was appointed Cuba’s Minister of Economics in 1960; within months the Cuban peso was practically worthless.
Was appointed Cuba’s Minister of Industries in 1961; within a year a previously prosperous nation was rationing food, closing factories, and losing hundreds of thousands of its most productive citizens, who were happy to flee with only the clothes on their backs.
Must have been the "SS-class."
They shouldn’t apologize, they should do it more. Using commie icons in capitalist endeavors is funny.
I have typically bought American cars; however I won't any longer, because the UAW gives Dems $ and other in kind support.
Thus, I'll (hopefully) be buying a new car this November, and it will be a foreign make.
I have just eliminated Mercedes from my short list.
Thanks to you, Kaslin, for posting this article.

He told me a story about how some guys in his unit found one of those big three-axle open cars the Nazi bigwigs used to ride around in, hidden in a haystack in western Germany somewhere -- it was all tricked out for the upper crust of the Reich with flag fixtures, just like in your posted photo. I think he told me it was a Daimler-Benz. (They also drove Auto Union [Audi] and maybe Bayerische Motoren Werke [sp. -- BMW], which were all semi-statal companies. Add the thoroughly Nazi Volkswagen, and you have the present fleet.)
Those American airmen drove the dog out of that big Benz -- had a real blast, roaring up and down the Autobahn at 100 mph.
In the course of the aviation demilling work, in which my dad was joined by some British officers, they were working the big German underground aircraft plants Dr. Speer had built. I still have a jeweler's loupe that he liberated from a Focke-Wulf instrumentation factory.
One day instructions from the (reorganized, renamed) SHAEF HQ in Germany arrived, concerning a big cache of precision instruments that had been found in an Adam Opel plant in the Rhine valley (Ruhr, Saar, somewhere in there).
The officers were directed to receive courteously and assist as necessary an embassy of GM lawyers who were going to claim all the Opel stuff -- plants, products, everything -- for General Motors, the prewar parent company.
My dad and the British officers were all alike disgusted by this purblind grab, and so they ordered all the accumulated "stuff", which had been amassed on barges tied up at a Rhine quay, dumped in the river. They then told GM, via the Army, where the stuff had been dumped, in case GM still wanted it.
Opel, of course, as many will recall, was heavily involved in the industrial slaving business, using French and other POW's, internees, and Jewish Sonderkommando workers from the death camps.
FYI, that quote is from a SATIRE site.
The G4 linked at the other link is feldgrau, or "field gray" -- the Wehrmacht color; and although the car is missing badges and insignia (it would be against current German law to display them), it's probably an Army car. The ones the Nazis rode around in were solid black (as other cars depicted in the thread), as was the one in my dad's retelling.
