The Obama/Che connection

No, Obama has not spoken lovingly about mass murderer Che Guevara. However, another prominent Obama supporter has made the two equivalent in a very obvious way: he has displayed in his office side by side posters of Obama (that socialist, artsy-fartsy looking poster) and (who else?) Che. Check out this Webloggin post for a picture and some tart comments from Terry Trippany about the way in which Obama magically keeps attracting the acolytes of a mass murderer.

Incidentally, did I mention that this particular acolyte is a State court judge in Ohio? Is it only me, or is there something profoundly disturbing about an American judge displaying on his office wall a picture of someone who was (a) a brutal, hands-on murderer and (b) a vocal and active enemy of the United States? If it were anyone but Che, if it were, say, Himmler or Hitler or Osama or Hussein or Jong-Il or Tojo or Mussolini, might people be a little bit more cognizant of what an appalling thing it is that an American judge has this picture so prominently displayed?

    Those who display such Che memorabilia without defacing it in some manner are either ignorant fools or are shilling for a murderous thug. I doubt the judge realizes the irony of ruling against the death penalty while displaying a poster of a thug who ordered several thousand executions himself.

    In fact irony goes hand in hand with many who simultaneously display both Obama and Che artifacts. Maria Isabel, the Che campaign worker who displayed a Che flag at Obama HQ in Houston, and her husband have a zoning dispute where they are trying to construct a McMansion in a historic neighborhood.Here is what Maria Isabel said on the issue.

    “It’s wrong to try to implement restrictions in my private property. I own this piece of land. This is America. I should be able to do anything I want with it.”

    Given Che’s hard-core Communism,I doubt that Che would have taken such a libertarian view of ownership rights.IOW, both Maria Isabel and the good judge come off as ignorant fools, when they display Che posters.

    Book, green links on lavender background are not very visible. Links should be OBVIOUS. Green links on lavender background are anything but obvious. Please change.

    I have two links in the previous posting. can you find them?

    You’re right, Gringo, and I’m working on it!

    Book: thanks.
    Here is the original USA Today article. For all the put down of the MSM, it would appear that this story began w MSM.

    “Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge said Tuesday the state’s lethal injection procedure doesn’t provide the quick and painless death required by Ohio law.
    Burge said Ohio must stop allowing a combination of drugs and focus instead on a single, anesthetic drug”

    Found them in two seconds. Might want to adjust the color vibrancy on your graphics card.

    Book: Blue works a LOT better than green against a lavender background. Thanks!
    Y: Book had already changed the color, which is why the links were readily visible.

    Funny - I never noticed the background was lavender -looks sort of dirty white to me!

    Oh yeah - the post.

    Democrats don’t much do irony: if they did they’d be compelled to indulge in an orgy of self-immolation.

    If Maria Isabel lived to be 700 years old she wouldn’t get it, and would be very surprised when that pschyopathic killer Guevara showed up to slit her throat and drink her blood for having the temerity to suppose she should have the right to own any sort of house.

    There’s been something profoundly disturbing about the bulk of American judges for most of the last two decades.

    No, she hadn’t. It was still lime or whatever you call. It didn’t become blue until I reloaded the page, right now.
