When I look at this image of a Cuban flag with Che Guevara's face imposed on it inside the Houston campaign office of Barack Obama, my first thought is __________.
Posted: February 14, 2008 at 3:33 pm
this is just some random office that campaign volunteers work out of and not an obama headquarters. i'm sure he's never been to that office and has no idea what's up on its walls. he addresses the issue on his website. i love you perez, but it's not responsible to put this on your site without any context to insinuate he's a communist sympathizer.
HEY GUYS! I LIVE IN HOUSTON AND I HAVE JUST CONFIRMED THAT THE PICTURE IS A SMEAR CAMPAIGN! BAD ATTEMPT PEREZ!
The ignorance of people on this website is far more frightening than this picture. I'm sure Obama himself did not personally purchase that flag and hang it in the Houston office. Get over it.
"This is a volunteer office that is not in any way controlled by the Obama campaign. We were disappointed to see this picture because it is both offensive to many Cuban-Americans — and Americans of all backgrounds — and because it does not reflect Senator Obama’s views. Barack Obama has been very clear in putting forward a Cuba policy that is based on one principle: freedom for the Cuban people." — Obama Campaign
From Houston Fox News:
"The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign."
MADONNA! MADONNA! MA-MA-MADONNA! (From An American LIfe)
…forget the flag, GO BARACK! AND HOW I CANNOT WAIT TO CALL HIM MR. PRESIDENT, 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE'LL BE COME NOVEMBER!!!
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT
HELLary ONLY CARES ABOUT THE WEALTHY AND LOBBYISTS!!
OBAMA IS THE CHANGE WE NEED.
HELLary VOTED FOR THE WAR!
BARACK HAS MORE MONEY, ENDORSEMENTS, VOTES, AND DELEGATES!!
Re: Magicman –
Get educated, people. New Mexico's primary was 2 wks ago - Super Tuesday. They just finished counting all the votes. Hillary won by 1700 votes. She and Obama get the same amount of delegates. ***PLEASE KEEP UP THE NEGATIVE DIRTY POLITICS, HILLARY LOVERS. IT'S BACKFIRING. OBAMA IS 8-0 SINCE SUPER TUESDAY. Woo-hoo!
I HAVE BEEN TO BARACK OBAMA'S OFFICE IN HOUSTON. THIS IS NOT IT! CHEAP BLACKMAIL!
Perez: Now that your Hillary is losing big time, you're engaging in smear campaign against Obama??
Take it easy, bro.
That no matter who we vote for, the country is fucked.
That's not his official campaign office. It's the office of an independant organization that is supporting Obama. They are not part of his official campaign.
it means this is america and everyone has the freedom to believe whatever they want, whether it be communism, racism, sexism, or believing in equal rights for all. you cuban-americans need to check yourself at the door - this is why you came to america - to live the life you have always wanted to live and believe whatever it is you want to believe. that is your right when you live in america, like it or not. stop denying others that right just because it is something you happen to disagree with. shut the fuck up, seriously. makes you look like the uneducated ungrateful immigrant slime that you are. but hey, that is your right. do what you will, i guess.
His headquarters are in Chicago. Whatever this place is, is NOT his official campaign office. So stop trying to smear the news.
OBAMA IS COMMUNIST!!!!!!
LATINOS FOR OBAMA. OPEN BORDERS! CITIZENSHIP FOR US LATINOS. GO OBAMA!
Wow. He is cooler than I even thought! Che was a true leader and an amazing humanitarian! Bravo!
I believe that all of you need to check your facts before you go posting uneducated and uninformed comments on some gossip website's picture from Fox News. Barack Obama is a an amazing canidate and just what this country needs to pull us out of the 8 year mess our current president has gotten into. You guys need realize that there is a huge chance that Obama has no clue until now that the flag was even in the office which happens to be located in TEXAS! And also for whoever listed that his middle name is Hussein as a reason for not voting for him needs to get over it and learn what real reasons for not voting for someone are. Get a clue guys. Obama has my vote.
HEY PEOPLE! THAT IS ACTUALLY HILLARY CLINTON'S OFFICE ON KIRBY IN HOUSTON!
What the FUCK is he thinking?!?!?!?!?!?
Islam
Re: OBAMA WILL SELL LATINAS INTO WHITE SLAVERY – Re: LATINOS FOR OBAMA – THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS LATINOS FOR OBAMA…STUPID UNEDUCATED SPICKS FOR OBAMA MAYBE…BUT DEFINATELY NO LATINOS FOR OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!
______________________________________________________________
You better wake and realize that there ARE INDEED many grassroot LATINO FOR OBAMA camps all over the country!! I'm so sick and tired of all the racist comments that are being made by us. You are ignorant as hell for carrying around so much damn hate. How many damn times are we going to keep people each other down because of race. No one is superior over another, and it's a real damn shame how many of us are so stuck on race and color. Get off your high horse and realize nobody is going to like you any damn better because YOU think you are more superior than some else. Ignorant ass!
1) Don't take it so seriously, it's just a picture and we don't know who put it there anyway.
2) I LOVE BARACK !
that he and his supporters are a pack of FUCKING SIMPLEMINDED MORONS who'd no doubt let the enemy into the country under the guise of peaceful negotiations. Shudder the very fucking thought. Osama and his FUCKING MINDLESS MORONS make Billary look good and that's scarey but true.
marxist in the white house
This is NOT an official campaign office. AND irresponsible journalism to indicate that it is part of Obama's campaign.
Fox networks = Republicans
Ok first of all Perez you have a moral obligation to stick to the f**ckin script!!!! So stick to it. You need to imform your readers about celeb gossip. Not trying to sway them to not support Obama!!! YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!! Its real! 8 states in a row, huge endorsements to keep OBAMA heard and seen (guess what he didnt have to loan himself any money, like Hilary) and he is atill going strong!! He is not muslim he attends Trinity Unity Church of Christ, in Chicago!!!! Get your info right Ignoramus!!!!
shows who is real supports are
Re: oh no….. –
and other comments cannot POSSIBLY get more ignorant that this one..
You're dumb. this is a volunteer's office, not Barack's office. Stop getting news from Drudge or Fox. Better yet, stay out of politics and stick with who's purse matches best to their outfit.
Just a little FYI…Barack Obama is a Christian…not that it would matter if he was Muslim. It might be a good idea to do a little research on the candidates before you go making ignorant remarks.
He is a communist. If he wins he will swear in on the Koran!! wake up America!! For those who vote for him though…..There are better days ahead for all those who have been hoping, hoping the government will finally seize what selfish greedy individuals earned and redistribute it to all those who are sitting, waiting hopeful. Damn those who say hope is a lazy mans substitute for hard work….
If he's voted in I'm leaving the country!
where are you spending the money that hilary's campaign is giving you, fatso perez? probably on food.
OBAMA IS COMMUNIST!!!!!!
GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!
perez trying to sway people to hillary. poor attempt. i'd like to think that people aren't that dumb to fall for it, but this is a celebrity gossip site so the americans that read this probably are. Stop watching Fox "News". OBAMA '08
My first thought is that campaign workers are usually allowed to put up what they want over their desk. When you find it in Obama's office then it'll be news.
To all of you that posted here that think it's "great", "OK", blah, blah, blah, that the Cuban flag with Che's picture on it is in an office of someone trying to become the next President of the United States of American……you are not free to leave the country.
WTF!! Do you think Cuba would allow and American flag to hang in a building there? I DONT THINK SO!!! Take that shit down.
That he believes in real change! Que viva Che! Hasta la Victoria Siempre!
wow that's scary as hell….. GO HILARY!!
My first thought is that Obama has an ego big enough to fill the hole in the ozone layer. What's nest - put his face over Jesus in the Last Supper painting???
This guy is really full of himself, and his supporters are like freaking Moonies or Scientologists or something. Creeeeeepy.
I'm totally in love with Obama, but as a cuban I MUST REALLY KNOW WHAT HE REALLY STANDS FOR. This picture said a thousand words.- We cubans learned the hard way that sometimes "carismaticos" leaders are the ones that stab you in the back and destroy your country. When Obama talks about "change" what change does he refers to? Change to a communist country? Who are his heroes? Who are his enemies? Mmmmmmm. To many questions….
This picture scares the shit out me!
OH SNAP!! I didn't know Obama shopped at Urban Outfitters!!
I love Che. He inspired a lot of change. Not all of it was bad. He had some pretty good ideas.
Viva La Revolution? Man, this guy really does mean change.
How about just going back 8 years and moving forward from there? Hillary 08!
The fact that Obama's middle name is "Hussein" is more troubling.
That Barack Obama is the anti-christ, god save us!
Are you kidding me?
probably faked in Photoshop. easy to do. easy to believe.
nothing to do with Mr. Obam's known beliefs. not even in the ballpark.
standard political dirty tricks… rough stuff on the hockey rink.
I´m definitely voting for this guy!!!
Go Barack, fuck Hillary and all your racist comment you people in this site…it is time for a chage, q VIVA EL CHE!!!!! REVOLUCION!!!!!!!!
Re: Sara –
But you were "indoctrinated" into Catholicism; if elected to office, you would listen to the concerns of Catholics & advocate those concerns. That is what BO will do for Mudslimes. He is dangerous & dumb — bad combo. Also, he disrespects the American flag by keeping his arms at his sides when it is presented. What American leader disrespects the very symbol of America????
MARXIST!!!!!!!
No surprise there!
1) His middle name is share by thousands of others who don't share Osama BIN LADEN's values.
2) Educate yourselves HE'S A CHRISTIAN NOT A MUSLIM
3) He's probably never been to that specific headquarters, and may not know that flag is/was there (and don't give some bull s*&t about Clinton knows what's going on in all of her campaign headquarters in every city…it's not possible)
4) It was broadcast on fox, everyone know you can't trust their biased and extremly slanted new channel!
5) What would be wrong with him as president? He couldn't be worse than the idiot in there now!
my first thought is that, by posting this, someone is trying to negatively influence public perception about obama. it's a familiar ploy, part of the same strategy that warhawks use to paint civil liberties advocates and diplomatic-minded folk as terrorist sympathizers. the fox logo at the bottom of the image speaks VOLUMES. go barack!
that he's nothing but a commie…..don't need that……my Cuban-immigrant parents can tell you all about that……not good!!
Thanks for posting this, guys!
See, you are not ALL BAD!
You actually did the public good by shedding light on the "real" BO….I do feel there is something really mean, inside him…I might be wrong, but my intuition tells me is the wolf in sheeps clothing….
…..gotta get the Hispanic votes gotta get the votes!
My first thought is….Perez Hilton will do just about anything to cop a headline!!!
my first thought is..that it's on fox news..
CALM DOWN PEOPLE, IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS. I'M STILL VOTING FOR OBAMA!
Go Hillary!! Yet another reason she should be elected president…
All of you are tards, it's not like Obama has control over how every one of his campaign offices are decorated .
*correction* Saddam not Osama Bin Laden
I need to not let ignorance piss me off so much
…that I love Obama more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
scary as hell. the fact that this man is a front runner shows how scary this country has gotten. i am a registered REPUBLICAN, but i'll tell ya, HILLARY IS 10 MILLION TIMES BETTER than this guy!!!! my god. scary, scary, scary.
GO HILLARY!!!@!!!!!!!!!!! (and trust me, i never thought i would say that)
who can prove that this is their office? Fox News ? How credible a source -
btw - I am cuban and support Barack Obama
not mainstream.
COMMUNIST!!!! COMMUNISTA!!!
that I'm sad to live in Houston
um that's fucking cool.
support a facist gorrila murder,
responsible for the slaying of thousands of
cuban nationals who just wanted to have their own opinion.
wtf barrack????
you wer my favorite =[
my first thought is 8 in a row. GO BARACK
wtf barack…NOT GOOD!
Re: BKAE –
rock on - exactly - scary thought - does NO ONE ELSE see he's potentially the WORST PERSON TO BE IN OFFICE?? you only like him cuz he's a smooth talker and flashes a smile, knows all those big words n stuff - do you know what him taking office would do to this country? IF he makes it, he wouldn't last long and could we survive an assasination???
my god change is a huge platform, but when clinton (Bill) was in office, I actually watched the state of the union address because we were making progress and could hold my head high - if barack wins it - God bless america, we'll need it.

Voting for Hillary because She rocks and has a Vagina!
She'll appreciate my business for SURE!
that office is a volunteer office, not an official one. calm down, some idiot just probably liked it and put it up behind their desk.
that he's still the sexiest democrat around, and i suddenly have the urge to see "evita"
way to go!! i love to see a us presidential hopeful fly a commie flag. Wtf? Commies AREN’T or a fashion statement.
Re: Valencia – you can't tell me you are this uneducated
Re: Chuck – ignorance is bliss for you? Do you have any idea that cubans do not like the government or Castro. So you are not doing them any favors
can't believe you would watch let alone spread propaganda from FOX news- stick to celebrity gossip Perez. This is beneath you and slightly Ann Coulter-ish of you. Not a good look.
WTF? I'm voting for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ricky: I'm gunna fawk you up the ath Luthy, and I'm nah youding any KY.
Lucy: BwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!
Che: Baba fawking lu!!! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
If this is the mentality of people campaining for Obama…God help us if he becomes president. Hollywood has helped glamorize the image of Che (and also Castro) who became a cold blooded mass murderer. He was a political idol for the Black Panther movement. He never had the interests of the poor or underprivelaged at heart. His interests were for power and control even by means of murder of hundreds if not thousands to get it. Why people don't understand that he was no better than Adolf Hitler, I won't ever understand.
Che fought for the rights of the common man. Power to the people. The exact opposite of our current administration and what Hillary would continue on. Go Barack!
It's all good I have my American Flag with Bush and Osama swapping tongue.
This, this ignorant attempt to sway people to hold the same opinion as you, is why I will no longer be reading your website.
Oh mi Dios!!! Definitivamente hay que votar por Hillary
WTF I HATE the fucking GLORIFICATION of that killer CHE. This…is a big deal. Wtf, Obama, Wtf?
10 second of Google search will tell you everything you need to know about the incident. I'm amazed at how easily Perez is able to manipulate all of you into believe what he wants you to believe. This is the same guy who swore he could prove Castro was dead a few months ago. Don't believe all of Perez's hype. His job is to get fat off of your clicks. The more you click on each of his threads the more burritos he gets to eat. Learn to think for yourselves people.
FUCK that pecker-head Obama!
If he wins the Demo nomination, I will join other Democrats in PUBLICLY supporting John McCain for President!!!
No dip-shit asswipe like Obama is going to lead my country. He is a fucking PRICK and those that support him are druggies and former felons!
"Way to condone the mass killing of hundreds of innocents through blood lust committed by Che. Isn't this the exact thing he is fighting against in the case of Iraq? Barack is a hyprocrite!!!! " WTF!!!?? Personally, i don't like Che Guevara, but you are really wrong if you think that he is a murderer at least he fought for what he believed, inside the country (and he was argentinian, hw wasnt cuban), and guess what? he won the fucking battle. can you say the same thing about Bush? He is fighting a war far away, sending lot of young boys like me or anyone else for nothing. and don't come to me with that shit of terrorism. this country is going down. i know it, you know it, everyone know it. Just do everyone a favour. read a book. and stop talking about what you do not know. stop repeating something that someone told you all your life.
I fucking HATE Che—–Castro's best friend. This is disappointing. I'm writing in Ron Paul.
commie commie commie

Way to be a fucking idiot Perez. That flag was in a staffer's office, not in Barack's office, not on display in the middle of the campaign office. So wow, he allows his staffer's free speech. Fucking 1st amendment, dipshit.
Re: veronica –
Veronica needs to buy a history book in order to know that Perez, as a Cuban, is likely VERY sensitive about the fact that Che and the Castro brothers killed hundreds of people during their "liberation" of Cuba.
to puke. If I thought Obama was an asshole before, this confirms it.
PEREZ: Stick to entertainment…not political commentary.
