Che Guevara And The Obama Campaign

by Humberto Fontova - February 18th, 2008 - Human Events

"The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind!" raved Ernesto "Che" Guevara in 1961. "Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination. We will bring the war to the imperialist enemies' very home, to his places of work and recreation. The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we'll destroy him! We must keep our hatred against them (the U.S.) alive and fan it to paroxysms!"

There is no denying that a huge segment of Obama Fever supporters are also the most extreme followers of socialist and communist ideology. Obama responds to their support with mild comments. When his followers posted the Che Guevara faced communist flag in his campaign headquarters it was "inappropriate". Obama insists it was an "unofficial" headquarters. Obama provides little clarity whether supporting Che Guevara was what he found inappropriate or whether publicly acknowledging Guevara support was the problem.
