I am rather sardonic re Mr. Colon's purview, but will hold off as I perhaps don't know enough to splay my sardonicity.

Splayed sardonicities. Always a risk in public but mesmerizing for on-lookers.

Would you accept an swastika hanging in a McCain office because it wasnt an "official" office?

I think a Che flag is in bad taste, while a swastika is unacceptable. The difference may have something to do with the swastika referring to mass genocide across an entire continent, 6 million exterminated Jews, all that. Che Guevara may have been a ruthless and loathsome figure (and anyone who primarily associates Che with the romanticized movie image of this guy "studying medicine, travelling through South America, sympathizing with the impoverished" should read that thread) -- but come on, he was no Hitler.



oh.........so it's ok as long as he committed fewer[/u] murders than Hitler?

In that case, just about any criminal is ok, because few if any will ever equal the total #s Hitler was responsible for.

So, if Obama campaign offices feature pics of Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer, it's all good, eh?

Yeah - when I write, "in bad taste" and "being stupid", what I am really saying is "it's OK". You got it.

Well, plus the odd 'n end here that it is entirely debatable whether Che's actions resulted in more murders than have the CIA's actions in Chile and elsewhere.

So here in my home, I have neither a Che poster nor an American flag.

Funny video.

But, of course, if Obama is the nominee he couldn't pick Emmanuel as his running mate anyway. The twelfth amendment requires that the electors shall "vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves." In other words, if an Obama-Emmanuel ticket carried Illinois, the Illinois electors couldn't vote for both of them, since they're both from Illinois. That's why a presidential candidate never picks someone from the same state as a running-mate.

Thats ok, the only flag I have in my home is one from the 106th Illinois Volunteers, the regiment my ancestor served with during the civil war.

They were with Sherman from Atlanta to the sea up thru the Carolina's.
I also have his letters to his wife AND his journal.

The only flag I have in my home is the one that was drapped over my father's coffin and presented to me a few months ago.

Do I win?
