Barack Obama won’t wear an American flag on his lapel, but on the wall of his Houston campaign office: 2 Cuban flags with a picture of Communist mass murderer Che Guevara. Reportedly put up by "volunteers" and not the official staff.
What did Obama have to say about it?
He didn't insist it come down.
He didn't denounce it as "insensitive" or "sickening" or "an emblem of evil."
He simply dismissed it as "inappropriate."
Inappropriate?
"Inappropriate" is when somebody tells an off-color joke.
"Inappropriate" is when a campaign worker passes gas in the office.
"Inappropriate" is when someone tells you the three people they most fear in life are Osama, Obama and Chelsea's Mama.
Displaying an image of Che Guevara as if he were some kind of Third World hero is an abomination. Check that, it's an Obama-nation.
Maybe Obama is just too young and inexperienced to know who Che really was. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt along with this refresher course.
Guevara was born in Argentina in 1928 and originally trained to become a doctor at the University of Buenos Aires. In 1952, he embarked on the trip dramatized in "The Motorcycle Diaries" across South America. After returning to Buenos Aires to complete his medical degree, Guevara set off again to travel through the Americas. He participated in leftist movements in Guatemala and Mexico and became acquainted with Cuban expatriates in those countries. He joined Castro's revolutionary Cuban Army in 1956 as a top commander and Castro's personal physician. He helped Castro topple the regime in Havana in 1959.
As Castro's right-hand man in the new regime, Guevara ordered the execution of hundreds of people while in charge of the notorious La Caba, a prison in Havana. He was unapologetic about the mass killings of innocent people, explaining, "To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate."
Motivated by pure hate, and note the peace sign in the above picture. At least it was placed next to the American flag.
Hmm...why do leftist whack jobs continue to be attracted to Obama?
They must see something they like.
