Another day, another Obama scandal ignored by the Mass Media. What should be campaign ending scandals are nothing more than a few pebbles in the road for the Obama sycophants in the Main Scream Media. They are doing everything they can to ignore or dismiss the
phony fainting woman. Now they are ignoring the fact that Obama volunteers were prominently displaying a Cuban flag festooned with an image of the
murderous thug Che Guevara. If you want to know about this you have to go to the blogosphere. A Google News search lists several locations for the story, but none from AP, Reuters, the Democrat Time of New York, MSNBC, CNN or any other main stream news source.
Jeff Jacoby reports the scandal in his latest column, but you will only see the actual image if you get Jeff's email update. The Boston Globe refuses to provide the image or link to the Houston news report wherein the Che image appears. Furthermore, the Fox News affiliate in Houston, which panned past the disgusting flag, does not even mention the image. You will have to look fast during the clip or you may miss it. I guess communist executioner Che Guevara's image is par for the course among Democrat supporters; so much so that seeing it is a "dog bites man" story to the press. Why shouldn't it be, given that, as Jacoby notes, it has become a "trendy bestseller", "cult favorite" and was once offered on a watch sold at the New York Public Library Gift Shop. ... An aside: It also is prominently displayed on the exterior of the Cuban Secret Police headquarters.
Imagine a news team going to a McCain or Huckabee volunteer office and seeing a Ku Klux Klan banner or Timothy McVeigh's or David Duke's face plastered on the wall. Do you think the reporter would ignore it? Do you think the story would stick with McCain vs. Huckabee storyline? Or would the story become "Will Republicans support a candidate that seems to condone the evil represented by KKK, McVeigh or Duke?" That kind of story would end any chances a Republican had for any office, let alone President of the United States. So why is it that the image of Che Guevara prominently displayed in an Obama for President office does not do the same for Obama? Especially when you pile it onto the phony fainting woman crap.
Jeff Jacoby notes that "when word broke last week that Obama's supporters in Houston work under
a banner glorifying Che, the campaign's reaction was to brush it off as
an issue involving volunteers, not the official campaign. After two
days of controversy, the campaign issued a statement calling the flag 'inappropriate' ..."
Two days?!? Inappropriate?!? Gee, you think? How about immediately cutting all relations with those volunteers once the story broke; tell them never to darken your door again, and clearly state that your campaign does not in any way want to be associated with a man who
was "a sociopath who relished killing and acclaimed 'the pedagogy of the firing squad' ..." Nope. None of that. Instead all we get is a mild statement that the image is inappropriate.
Obama's campaign has been attacked as not having any substance. I disagree it has substance; the substance of a Liberal Fascist.
