This picture is just too funny for words:
Apparently this is a picture of an Ohio judge who just threw out Ohio’s death penalty procedure, which you can read about here. While it may not be fair to judge Obama by every nut who supports him, there does seem to be an open armed acceptance by Democrats in general to support Che, particularly in the Obama camp. I posted a story a while back here that talked about at least one of the Obama headquarters that had a picture of Che up in the office. Why anyone, much less a judge in Ohio, would support and admire Che is beyond me. Che was personally responsible for the murder of countless Cubans in support of the revolution. In my mind this is like having a picture of Hitler or Pol Pot in your office. I guess when you tacitly support the Cuban revolution, any means necessary eh? Maybe Obama could adopt a new slogan inspired by Che, “Change, or we’ll kill ya.”
Thanks to powerline for this photo and story.

Rather than dismissing his supporters as “nuts,” I think we need to recognize that Obama himself makes the connection easy. These people are simply recognizing what makes everyone else uncomfortable. Obama’s mom was a communist and his dads were Marxists. Later he joined a liberation theology (Christian communist) church denomination which he only resigned one week ago! Why wouldn’t he sympathize with Che?

One reason he would sympathize with Che is because Che is very popular among young voters who give Che a rock star status to point of even having a fashion line with his picture on everything they make.
And yet these kids have little idea what a monster Che was.
In the 60s it was much the same with the idolization of Mao. Liberal hippies only saw what they wanted to see in communism. And that was that everyone got something for nothing

That reminds me of the Beatles line “If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain’t gonna make it with anyone any how.”

Someone else in the media was reminded of the same line during a conversation concerning Che not too long ago. I wish I could remember who.
I wish I could remember a lot of things.
better start stocking up on post its. I’m loosing it.
I’m kinda stand offish about calling Obama Marxist or Communist. Although I think hes very idealistic and unrealistic and no doubt very “communal” in his visions. Especially the vision he has for things that dont belong to him.
Like our money.
You have to take into consideration that Che is much better looking ( I guess) than Hitler or Pol pot.
I mean isnt that one of Obamas main attractions ? Hes, attractive, young( younger than McCain) revolutionary, good speaker with that warm baritone voice, identifies with the suppressed masses(at least he thinks so) and makes no bones about dividing up all wealth evenly.
Eh, maybe I’m not so stand offish anymore.
Bryan.
Check this out.
One of Obamas goupies, its worth a chuckle.

Why is it so hard to post ?

Also, Che has become more of a fashion icon than a political figure. Many college kids have t-shirts and posters with his face on it without really knowing what he stood for. It’s an attempt to be cool, rather than a political stance.
That doesn’t excuse a judge who (no offense intended) looks old enough to know Che’s history. Revolution from a bench? Not gonna happen.

The judge is no doubt a moonbat.
If you go to the link on the death penalty story the commentors make an interesting point. That would be that the judge is quibbling about execution methods when its common knowledge that Che had no such compassion.
Like I mentioned about the 60s hiipies not being aware of the baggage that comes with communism todays kids(and a lot of adults) are also not aware of how radical Islam has received most of its doctrine directly from Nazis.

Islam’s Nazi Connections

The Sword of the Prophet: A Politically-Incorrect Guide to Islam
One of the good things one can truthfully say about Islam is that there has never been any love lost between Moslems and Marxists.”
