Webloggin » Ohio Judge Adds to List of Radicals That Supports Both Barack Obama and Che Guevara

While Barack Obama can’t pick his supporters it is apparent that he has a knack of attracting more than his fair share of radicals. This is a stark contrast to John McCain who is ten times the patriot that Barack Obama will never be. Say what you will about McCain, he would never sit on a board with an American terrorist or employ followers of Che Guevara.

We may never know how many radicals support Barack Obama but we know one thing for sure, the list is alarmingly long and getting longer by the minute.

The most recent episode of “Name That Radical Barack Obama Supporter” features an Ohio judge that goes by the name of James Burge. He was featured in USA Today alongside a picture of him sitting in front of a poster of Barack Obama and Che Guevara. The caption below the picture simply reads, “Lourain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge speaks in his office in Lorain, Ohio as posters of Che Guevara and Barack Obama hang on his wall.” (h/t the very excellent Warner Todd Huston at Newsbusters)

Like Barack Obama, Che Guevara is a hero of the radical left. But that is company that Obama probably should work to cover up and brush under the rug with lightening speed.

I wrote about the latest Che fallout last August before Obama had been repeatedly linked to fans of the murderous radical from Cuba.

In 2004, Che Guevara was presented at the Sundance Film Festival as a symbol of freedom when the witless attendees gave a standing ovation to Walter Salles’ portrayal of a young Guevara in The Motorcycle Diaries. The movie was propped up with much critical acclaim among pro-Castro segments of Hollywood along with film critics in the mainstream media who gave the movie high marks.

But the film was also met with criticism by those who noted that Guevara was responsible for creating Cuba’s gulag style labor camps that routinely led to the torturous death of political dissidents, homosexuals and anyone that was branded an enemy of the “revolution”. Historians noted that Che enjoyed presiding over summary executions at the La CabaÒa fortress in Havana many of which Che administered himself with a signature bullet to the back of the neck. Rather than celebrate Ernesto “Che” Guevara as a man of the people, critics claimed that a more apt depiction should place him in history next to the likes of Pol Pot. It looked like these discussions were having some positive results as stores started pulling the merchandise off the shelves after being taken to task for their inappropriate nature.

We can separate the people that glorify Che Guevera into three groups, the ignorant masses who are blindly lured into the “chicness” of the pop culture likeness that appears on many store shelves, those who understand the history of Guevara yet tune it out with a nod of indifference, and those who knowingly celebrate Che Guevara for his political ideas and yes, give or take some of his brutal tactics.

This isn’t the first time that Barack Obama has been swept into the same company as that of radical leftists. In fact this isn’t the first Barack Obama/Che Guevera incident. Back in February it was outed that a Che Guevara image superimposed over a Cuban flag was discovered gracing the walls of a Barack Obama campaign office in Houston. So why should we be surprised now? That incident was never fully explained yet the sycophants in the mainstream media swept that pretty much under the rug.

I am not now and have not ever been surprised. Barack Obama is a product of the American left. Not just any left mind you but a left that appears to hate America while glorifying murderers and home grown terrorists. This should be cause for alarm for most sane people but the left just keeps chugging along on all its hypocrisy fueled socialist desires.

So now the question remains, how many radicals will it take for the American public to get the clue? Perhaps this is why Hillary Clinton waited so long to bow out.

Update: Great comment on Bookworm’s post that links up this piece here:

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.

This points out the ignorance of many on the left that get caught up in the mainstream glorification of certain figures, Barack Obama included, while failing to gather the most basic of information that should be necessary to receive such praise.
