Did You Know...

Yesterday, I noted the Che chic decor at Barack Obama’s campaign office in Houston.

Where the hell does someone go to buy one of those things?

Why, the CHEstore, of course! “For all your revolutionary needs:”

Also selling now on eBay with a starting bid of $5.49…

Three cheers for capitalism!

Er, wait a minute…

Ed Morrissey asks: “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.”

Val Prieto at Babalu Blog: “Amazing. Simply amazing. The Butcher of La Cabaña, a well deserved and earned nickname for the murdering Argentine, on a Cuban flag in a U.S. Presidential campaign office, draped next to an American Flag. That’s not just a dichotomy or something akin to an irony, it is downright disgusting.”

Charles Johnson:

Facts: Barack Obama did explicitly refuse to wear a flag pin, and there are not one, but two Cuban flags with Che Guevara on them at Obama’s Houston campaign office.

If I’m “insinuating” anything, it’s this: when you actively pander to and encourage the radical leftist elements of your party, as the Democrats have been determinedly doing for the past eight years, you’re going to end up with embarrassing scenes like this.

And attacking the messenger who points it out is standard political damage control.
