At Least the Cubans Are Happy

Posted by Harvey on January 18, 2009 at 11:59 am

I thought this video [h/t Eros] was just some crass, right-wing smear about Obama being a communist.

Until I noticed the guy depicted on the left side of the Cuban Young Communist League flag.

Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

    Oh dear, it’s time for me to play idiot. I can tell the one on the far right is Fidel Castro, but who are the other two?

  2. OutbackJon says:

    I’m pretty sure the one on the far right is Che. The center one is Fidel.

  3. RightWingKiller says:

    Left to Right; Obamessiah, Fidel, Che.
    The new President is a Commie. Now he wants his “civilian internal security Force” established.
    I’m sleeping less soundly.

  4. Sanjayrupta Pravati says:

    Yeah, but that guy doesn’t look much like Obama facially, not to mention a lack of blackness.

  5. Sanjayrupta Pravati says:

    He looks more like Tom Cruise, to be honest.

    O’bamalamadingdong’s a communist………..say it isn’t so. I thought he was the messiah or the anti-Christ. Depends on which side you’re on I guess.

    I have a Yorkee, He weighs 8 pounds, and loves to bark. When I come in from work he can actually jump from the floor into my arms; he won’t stop barking until I pet him and say hello. Must be what it’s like at an Obama press conference.

    I know I’m going to regret posting this, but doesn’t the guy on the left look kind of like Bush (and by Bush, I mean his economic policies of late)?

    I don’t know. The guy in the middle is the one wearing the cowboy hat.

    From left to right:

    Julio Antonio Mella, founder of the “internationalized” Cuban Communist Party…

    Camilo Cienfuegos, a key figure of the Cuban Revolution known for his distinctive cowboy hat…

    and Che Guevara, motorcycle and leper enthusiast, and occasional practitioner of torture and murder.

    Mella’s profile looks a bit Biden-ish while Cienfuegos looks like a villain in a Sergio Leone western.

    Che looks like every other socialist douche I see stalking the East Side of Providence, RI (think Brown U.)

    Phew, what a relief, PitNicker

    I was afraid there when I saw that flag
    that we had elected a socialist who was for
    wealth redistribution and Govt. takover
    of healthcare, energy, banking , food
    and transportation.

    Julio Antonio Mella, huh?
    OK, we can breath easier now.

    Isn’t that what has happened here?

  13. blah says:

    What the heck? Andy Garcia’s not a communist!

    Glad I could put your mind at ease, TerryJim. :D

    Dear G_d, WHAT are we in for?!? :(
