It's just a generic icon for "I'm a rebel, and I'm sticking it to the man". That said, it's preposterous to attack Obama because a kid volunteering for his campaign had a flag. (As soon as it came to light, they took it down.) I don’t really understand the Che thing, either, but I don’t think it’s nostalgia for him, or communism, or anti-American animus.

I still can't figure out what is romantic about a Hate the U.S. Murderer.

I am far more concerned with Obama's Friedman connections than the Weathermen. I do think the larger point of bias stands. Obama has had a walk. A case in point. In December Obama had the picture of him in dress on his site. Drudge comes up with this story line that a Hillary staffer gave it to him. There is no email, no evidence to support the claim, but CNN, Fox, and liberals are raking her over the coals about it. The evidence is she did not come right out and deny it. Now, if i say Obama is a terrorist and he brushes it off as nonsense, is that evidence he is a terrorist. I really think most Obama followers are operating under the psychology of the cult. Personally I believe Obama is behind the Drudge story. He did something similar in SC with his surrogates telling voters Hillary was behind Obama is a Muslim story. This is great persecution politics, but has little basis in reality. Hey, I don't care, Hillary supporters are beginning to come to their senses. They are coming in droves to Nader08.org. The Dems got 9 months to get IRV passed, they better hop to it. Ben,
