Obama campaign staff

Post by Death from the Sea »

Well this something I got in an email... three times today. Apparently there is a "dirty commie" flag in an Obama campaign office in Houston.... and of course many are freaking out and the emails are rampant...

video tag edited for DFtS ruining everything
the email wrote: This flag of Che Quevera hangs behind the desk of the person in charge of the Obama campaign office here in Houston. The Fox reporter, Ford Atkinson, did not ask any questions about the flag and it was only shown briefly, probably not intended to have been seen.


Kooky economic theories, class warfare and forced redistribution of wealth — it’s not just a Cuban phenomenon. The revolution has finally spread to the brand new Barack Obama office right here in the Bayou City.

it is seen less than a minute into the video.


local FOX News wrote:The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign.
thoughts? could this hurt Obama in any way that would be a serious threat?

These are the same emails that say 'Black Hussein Osama' is in league with a mysterious killer nuclear terrorist organization named 'Islam'.

I wouldn't give a damn, nor would anyone reasonable anyway.

They were idiots for doing that. Any sort of bad publicity when the campaigns are tied could be disastrous.

I would have to imagine that anyone outraged by a politically incorrect wall decoration like this is probably not the kind of person who would consider voting for Obama in the first place anyway. Besides, he'd have trouble seeing the TV past the giant confederate flag that's hanging in his living room.

Looks like even Fox is not making a big deal of it... there's a disclaimer right under the video that says it's Obama volunteers, not a national headquarters. Anybody with even a small hint of computer savvy checks sources directly and doesn't rely on e-mails... penis enlargement e-mails have done at least that service. So they would see the disclaimer.

Funny how Fox is fair and balanced only when it doesn't matter a shit. I have a feeling that had it been the general election, and if their election coverage mattered a shit instead of meaning nothing since all the Democratic candidates are boycotting them, that Fox wouldn't have bothered with the disclaimer at all.

I admit though I don't have the sound on so I can't tell if the Fox News interview asked leading questions and their general assholish loaded questions, or if they really were fair and balanced this time.
