Via Samizdata, here's what's on the wall at Barack Obama's Houston campaign office:
 

A Cuban flag with Che Guevara superimposed. Let's hope that Obama's staff are not in their candidate's image.

Behind his gentlemanly veneer, Barack Obama is as vapid and leftist as they come. Talking to his acolytes is like witnessing Bush Derangement Syndrome on steroids.

Why is everyone claiming that Obama is a black man? Why not a white man? His dad is black and his mum is white. In Southern African countries - all now independent - a person of mixed race has always been officially termed Coloured (capital C)

Not sure who will actually see this but... So first of all comparing an Obama supporter to Bush is an insult beyond words. Supporters of his message/movement are excited to have someone acctually speak of unity in this country and hope. As corny as it sounds there is such a lack of it lately. And so many American are ashamed of what is happening with their name attached to it. Secondly, to say Obama is colored would be even more of a no no it closely ranks up their with the infamous "n" word. When segregation was an unfortunate part of this country's culture that is how the words were used to disguish who could use what all the way down to water fountains. Personally I wish the world would get over themselves and just call him a man.
