Che Guevara Flags in Obama's Houston Office

[Ben]

Yeah, if Fistful wants to get on the list, he's gotta try a lot harder. He's really been a slacker lately.....

No steel toe. You can't have asskicking boots if they're not steeltoed.

Hmm, mine have steel toes.  Maybe they just make that one anymore.  Besides, what kind of a Nazi/Skinhead/Republican are you for needing ass kicking boots?!?

Traditional cowboy boots are the best for ass kicking because the pointed toe can wedge between the glutes and deliver a lot of force to a small point.....

If Obama doesn't make them take down the Che flag, it just shows he has a lot of  integrity because he's not worried about what people think of him and shows that he is his own man.

You don't know how badly I needed that.   


I was thinking about that thread the other day.  Another analogy is (I know it's useless, but...) your girlfriend is coming over to your apartment for the first time.  But don't clean up, because it wouldn't be right to do something just to look good.  But the answer would be something totally beside the point, like "The nature of Mr. Paul's arrangement with his girlfriend is private, blah, blah, blah."

I just dread my 2000-model Docs eventually wearing out. They're conventional eight-eyelet, steeltoed, 1" sole, made in the UK, proofed against "water, oil and acid", and the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn at any time. Real mechanic's boots. They don't make them anymore, all made in China, and the new ones are badly glued crap that comes apart.

  That is capitalism and globalism for you.

Mao Zedong and Stalin's mass murders make the Holocaust look like a speed bump.

Since when did they = communism?

No, it's poor decision making. They're losing customers.

They can either learn or fail. Dell moved all customer service to India, people got tired of hearing scripted "Hello, I am being John Smith, I am sorry, that is being a software problem", and they moved it back stateside.

Since they called themselves that?

Which is a close cousin to the "no true atheist" fallacy. 

[Perd Hapley]

How about the No True Libertarian fallacy?

  You are making the assumption that he knows they have it in the office.

Doesn't he read APS?.......

[Bogie]

Regardless, you'd think that SOMEONE is running the show in general, and has a mind toward general public opinion. And that person OBVIOUSLY thinks that Che is a plus. Probably is with some kids.
 
BTW, I'm doing a run of "No Che" (the circle/slash thingie over the face...) 2.25" buttons for Knob Creek...

He found out about it.

Two days after being informed about it he called it "inappropriate"

No, I was making the assumption you would get the joke. 
Fistful can explain it to ya.

Calling it "innapropriate" is a bit of a limp wristed response.  And the fact it took two days for him to do it is telling.  Can you imagine what would have happened had the flags had an image of Heinrich Himmler on them?  He'd have distanced himself from those as fast as he could.  But Che is *only* a communist murdering thug.  So its not *THAT* bad.

You know that's what you meant to say, comrade!  Get on board!
Obama is the best thing since sliced bread!  Look at that pretty smile!  Listen to those smartly delivered words!  And there's hope, change and peace a'commin'!!

[Ben]

I'm hoping for change, and changing for hope. I sure hope there will be change. You know... change will bring hope. I sure like hope. Change is cool too.
