autiger4life 3 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The bulk of Che's romanticized lore can be summed up in the one iconic photo taken by Alberto Korda, back in 1960. Maryland Institute College of Art called Korda's photo, "The most famous photograph in the world and a symbol of the 20th century."[2] Ha! Nice copy and paste from, what was it Wikipedia? No the problem is not that we don't understand who he was, if that was the problem we would have been saying, "Hey this guy was a democrat who fought for the small guy, but we all have condemned him. The problem is that one lady who supports Obama had a flag with his picture and so people are trying to say that Obama must also be a fan of Che which is not true. That is the problem and what we have been discussing, not whether Che was a good guy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFTiger 282 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 She is an active and visible supporter of Obama and a supporter of the commusist regime in Cuba. She has demonstrated her admiration for the brutal thugs from Cuba. The press however will continue to ignore the story and allow Obama to campaign without have to respond. Obama can be defined by supporters such as this and I suspect their ideologies overlap. Obama is stridently anti-business and very socialistic as is the Democrat party.

( Well, the Maryland Institute College of Art line wasn't mine, I'll confess that. ) And no, it's the association of Che's image in an Obama campaign office which has folks more than a bit annoyed. Had Joseph Gerbles been on a Nazi flag in an GOP candidate's office, all hell would be breaking loose, STILL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
