Check out the decorations in one of the Houston offices for the Barack Obama campaign. (h/t Allah)
Yes, that would be a cuban flag with a picture of Che Guevara (the icon of marxist revolutionary movements) on it… right next to the Obama campaign poster (which incidentally is much, much smaller).
So why is it an issue that the campaign office of a United States Presidential candidate would be proudly displaying such?
Guevara played a key role in bringing to Cuba the Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles that precipitated the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. During an interview with the British newspaper Daily Worker some weeks later, he stated that, if the missiles had been under Cuban control, they would have fired them against major U.S. cities.
…
He strongly supported Communist North Vietnam and the Viet Cong in the Vietnam War, and urged the peoples of other developing countries to take up arms and create “100 Vietnams”.
and…
1. Che was responsible for the execution of thousands of political prisoners in Cuba (most of them purely for their opposition to Castro’s communist policies or for no reason at all).
2. Che enjoyed torturing and abusing the prisoners, including children.
3. Che was instrumental in setting up the Castro regime’s massive forced labor camps and secret police apparatus.
4. Che tried to organize campaigns of terrorism against civilians in the US and elsewhere (though he largely failed in these efforts).
Proudly displayed in the office of the leading Democrat Presidential candidate. Viva la revolución…
UPDATE:
LoneStarTimes unmasks the Che/Obama supporter, Maria Isabel.
They link to a video of a Local ABC13 story where Isabel and her husband are fighting with their neighbors about their proposed McMansion they want to build on the site of a historic Old Sixth Ward home.
And the kicker… she says, “It’s wrong to try to implement restrictions in my private property. I own this piece of land. This is America. I should be able to do anything I want with it.” All while she’s showing her support for Marxism/Communism by flying a Cuban flag with the face Che on it.
