A Flag Obama Supporters Salute? (Barack's Houston Office Sports Che "Obama" Guevara Flag)
Captain's Quarters ^ | Feb. 11, 2008 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 02/11/2008 3:20:44 PM PST by jdm

Oh, my. Barack Obama may want to call his new Houston office and suggest some decorating ideas. Take a look at the flag flying in the office at the moment:

No, that's not a Texas state flag with a picture of Obama on it. It's the flag of the Castro-led Cuba regime, with Che Guevara's face superimposed on the side. A Fox report from Houston captured this image as it showed Obama supporters celebrating his momentum after Super Tuesday.

Does Obama know his Houston supporters honor a terrorist in his campaign office? I'm sure he doesn't. However, it would behoove him to ensure that the flag gets taken down and that he renounces any affinity for Che and the Fidel Castro regime. (via Jim Geraghty)

If America falls, darkness will cover the face of the earth for a thousand years, which is why we should put our country ahead of our conservatism.

From what I’ve read of the excerpts of Guevara’s Belgian Congo diaries, he was a racist, too.

The problem here lies in the fact that half of the electorate doesn’t know who Che is, and half of them, upon finding out about him, will think he’s cool.

Unbelievable.

No, consistant.

If the man who brought you to your faith is a proponent of liberation theology, you'd expect admiration of Che.

From Rev. Wright’s, Obama's mentor, website.

Dr. Wright’s talking points (3.1.7) for Trinity United Church of Christ its Web site and the Black Value System (in response to Erik Rush’s comments (2.28.07) on the Hannity and Colmes show):

• One of the biggest gaps in knowledge that causes the kind of ignorance that you hear spouted by this man [Erik Rush] and those like him, has to do with the fact that these persons are completely ignorant when it comes to the Black religious tradition. The vision statement of Trinity United Church of Christ is based upon the systematized liberation theology that started in 1969 with the publication of Dr. James Cone’s book, Black Power and Black Theology.

• Black theology is one of the many theologies in the Americas that became popular during the liberation theology movement. They include Hispanic theology, Native American theology, Asian theology and Womanist theology.

• I use the word “systematized” because Black liberation theology was in existence long before Dr. Cone’s book. It originates in the days of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. It was systematized and published by theologians, Old Testament scholars, New Testament scholars, ethicists, church historians, and historians of religion such as Dr. James Cone, Dr. Cain Hope Felder, Dr. Gayraud Wilmore, Dr. Jacqueline Grant, Dr. Kelley Brown Douglas, Dr. Renita Weems, Dr. Katie Cannon, Dr. Dwight Hopkins, Dr. Linda Thomas, and Dr. Randall Bailey.

• These scholars, who write in various disciplines, also include seminary presidents like Dr. John Kinney and professors of Hebrew Bible, like Dr. Jerome Ross. Black liberation theology defines Africans and African Americans as subjects – not the objects which colonizers and oppressors have consistently defined “others” as.

• We [African Americans] were always seen as objects. When we started defining ourselves, it scared those who try to control others by naming them and defining them for them; Oppressors do not like “others” defining themselves.

• To have a church whose theological perspective starts from the vantage point of Black liberation theology being its center, is not to say that African or African American people are superior to any one else.

• African-centered thought, unlike Eurocentrism, does not assume superiority and look at everyone else as being inferior.

• There is more than one center from which to view the world. In the words of Dr. Janice Hale, “Difference does not mean deficience.” It is from this vantage point that Black liberation theology speaks.

• Systematized Black liberation theology is 40 years old. Scholars of African and African American religious history show that Black liberation theology, however, has been in existence for 400 years. It is found in the songs, the sermons, the testimonies and the oral literature of Africans throughout the Diaspora.

which is why we should put our country ahead of our conservatism.

You are reading my tagline wrong, McCain is a giant step towards that fall.

The election is a long ways off, a lot can happen to change my mind. But McCain is going to have to change a number of things before I will vote for him.

This will be my first vote in my 40 plus years of voting AGAINST my party. I have argued here on FR in the last number of elections that a protest vote is just wrong, and I still believe a protest vote is wrong.

I will be voting to deliberately derail McCain, not to protest anything, because if we follow McCain, we will be much further down that path towards the thousand years than if Hillary! is President.

I've grandkids I care about very much.

Are there people here that will REALLY not vote for McCain to teach the party a lesson and let this Marxist run our country and set the tone at the CIA, DOJ, and FBI???

And be Commander-In-Chief of the military?

Not me.

If it comes down to McCain vs Hillary or Obama, I'm voting McCain.

I won't like it, but I'll do it.

Me to Jonny, me too.

When it was Bush vs Gore it was a choice between a moderate and a liberal, I chose Bush and I am glad I did. When it was Bush vs Kerry, it was a moderate vs a liberal, I chose Bush, and Im glad I did. He was better than Gore or Kerry. If its McCain, he is better than Obama/Hillary.

It's no surprise that the same people who support Obama are also fans of communist rebel Che Guevera (whose image is on that flag in Obama's Houston headquarters).

Ernesto "Che" Guevara alive....

Ernesto "Che" Guevara dead.
