Investors Business Daily, which can always be counted on to provide clear incisive opinion features a great column today about the Che Guevara image in an Obama volunteer office in Houston that has been all the talk of the blogosphere. Just an excerpt:
But rather than repudiate the image, Obama would only call it “inappropriate,” apparently without insisting it be taken down. That contrasts with his dismissal of his Senate colleagues who wear lapel flags as “hypocrites.” Some hypocrites.
The display of the Castroite flag with Che’s picture on it sends a particularly disturbing message about his campaign. Apparently, Obama tends to attract the kind of people who think of mass murderers like Che and Fidel as romantic revolutionaries. Those same people see Obama as a man with a messianic message. These are the voters he’ll be indebted to should he win higher office.

Bonus picture of the Obamunista Che admirer with her candidate:
like I said yesterday, had it been a confederate flag at a GOP local HQ, all hell would have broken loose and media coverage all over the place forcing repudiation.
