?? Can't access....

Do we have proof of said flag in said Houston office?
Or are we going to go on the words of conservative bloggers?
Show me a picture of said flag, and I'll stand with those demanding he take it down.

hmmm. two links. no synopsis. discuss.

No time for synopses these days. Open the links, read the stories, and debate away.

Some of us can't access links due to firewalls or concerns over violating IT policies.

synopsis: obama doesn't wear the US Flag pin, but has a poster in his Houston HQ of Che Guevara, the Argentine-born terrorist and revolutionary.

thank you mb.

In short? Video supposedly from a Fox news telecast at Obama's Houston office shows a Cuban flag with Che Guevara's picture on it.

If this is real, I'm sure we'll see more about it on CNN, etc. because there's no way you elect someone who says I won't put my hand on my heart for the pledge of allegiance, or wear a pin of the American flag, but then hangs a flag of an anti-american enemy in his office?!

Yes, if this is real it will doom his election. None will trust him. But, I am not sure if it is real. We will have to see.

Sadly, after some of the shady things I've seen out of Hillary and McCain, I wouldn't be surprised if.....

For those unaware, Che Guevara was the murderous communist thug who ran Castro's firing squads, and is also a darling of American leftist elites.

If not true, then Obama should not be villified for this at all. If true, then the entire nation should know of his sentiments. But then, this is generally the sentiments of the far left anyhow.

Is it possible that these things are hanging in his Houston campaign office, but he doesn't know anything about it.

My bank has 22 branches. Do you think I know every single thing hanging up in every branch?

As long as their compliance all in one is hanging in the branches, I don't even care.

I agree with Straw.
You think Obama knows what some paid political operative, like me, has hanging in their office?

And Sentinel...your link to Lone Wacko's blog (a journalist stalwart no doubt) isn't coming up for me.

I am no fan of Obama, but it seems like a set up to me. Or as mentioned before, he doesn't know about it.

Must beblocked for you. It is a video showing Obama's office and some of his campaign personnel. Therein is a cuban flag with Che guevera on it.

Yeah, of course it is possible the man knows nothing about it. I am sure Ron Paul knew nothing of those anti-semites and white bigots in his campaign either so...

Well of course, he would have to have it removed, and also denounce Che Guevara himself, which I'm sure would anger some powerful people like moveon.org and their ilk.

clip from the blogsite: 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)

The flag, in my opinion, should be taken down.
While I do consider myself a left wing elitist , I do not support murderers. I doubt Senator Obama personally knows about said flag, but I would hope that once he does know, he demand it be taken down.

Finally, some self-honesty

I think Obama will have it removed. It behooves him to do so.

Stay on topic!
