Che Guevara flag in Obama’s Houston Office Sparks Hysteria on Right
Ohmygod. Some people’s priorities are well and truly screwed up — not to mention their knowledge and understanding of history. And I’m not talking about Barack Obama, or the staff of his Houston office.
He was a Marxist revolutionary, and he died 40 years ago. Western civilization is not in danger. Get a grip, people. Let’s talk about health care, shall we?
Addition after posting: John Cole writes about this, too. And one of his readers points out that the flag had nothing to do with Obama or any of his staff:

The reporter at… yes – FOX… specifically says that these are VOLUNTEERS who are OPENING the office, and that the actual Obama staffers are expected to be there by the END OF THE WEEK. Hello?
Hyperbole anyone? I do like Ed and enjoy his blog, but this particular new media attack smells a tad of desperation to get some dirt on Obama. Ed didn’t originate it, but it will run across the e-mail lines just like the now long since debunked “Obama is a double secret Muslim who attended a AQ suicide bomber grade school” story. Unfortunate.
