Why is a Che Guevara Flag Hanging in Obama Campaign Office?
Saturday, February 16th, 2008Democrat Presidential candidate Barack Obama already has an issue with wearing American Flag lapel pins, and even with putting his hand over his heart when the American National Anthem is playing. It will be interesting to see how he’ll react (if at all) to the flag hanging in one of his new campaign offices in Houston, Texas.Yep, that’s right that is the national flag of Cuba hanging on the wall with none other than Che Guevara superimposed on it.
Barack Obama has been asked about this and he said that this office is not an official campaign office with paid staffers, but rather an office set up by volunteers. Fine, he can’t control what his supporters do any more than Ron Paul can with some of the weirdos that follow him around. What Obama could do, however, is demand that it be taken down and denounce Che Guevara for the brutal monster he was and the fact his face was hanging in an office full of his volunteers. Obama has merely stated that the flag is “inappropriate.” Even Guevara aside, he should be condemning them for hanging the flag of a foreign country in their office in the first place.
Che Guevara was a Marxist revolutionary in Castro’s rise to power in the 1950s. The man personally executed dozens of people, including the children of those who went against the Communist movement during its rise in Cuba. The women in these videos below and other members of the far left in this country are truly delusional people with their worship of this man. Is that what liberals want America to become? These are the kind of people supporting Barack Obama and you have to ask yourself why.
What isn’t surprising is that the “mainstream media” hasn’t even covered this. Only Fox News has discussed the story and it is buzzing all over the blogosphere.
This was the news cast that accidentally stumbled on to this. The shot of the flag is about 15 seconds in:
