When Photoshop attacks ...

In Communist Party newspaper Monday, Fidel Castro called Obama the "most advanced" candidate in the presidential race, though he also criticized Obama's stance on the Cuba embargo. That proved too tempting for the Republican Party of Florida, which altered this image to make it seem like Castro is holding an Obama poster.

Asked RPOF: "With this latest development, will Joe Garcia, Raul Martinez and Annette Taddeo finally denounce Obama’s plans to entertain the company of foreign regimes in direct opposition to the United States, or will they support Castro's endorsement and Senator Obama’s plans to visit with the regime responsible for the oppression of hundreds of thousands of people for over half a century?"

Garcia blasted the doctored image, calling it a "Diaz-Balart style of politics." More here.

Come on you commies-don't you know your not going to do anything right if you do not understand American politics.
This should air around October 25th or so. How many October suprises are we in for this year.

I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!!

McCain supporter!!!

SOPO WHERE ARE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It shows how scared that the ROP is that Cuban Americans might consider voting for Democrats. If they were all going to vote Republican, there wouldn't be the need for this kind of sleeze.

So the RPOF is sending out fake pictures. They created a fake governor too.

This is the best they could do? Why not have Fidel actually kissing him . . . or even . . . ?

The Republican Party of Florida makes me sick. No one should be able to photoshop a picture and pass it off as real.

"regime responsible for the oppression of hundreds of thousands of people for over half a century"

Yes.

However, in denying the free flow of American commerce and ideas - some of the blood of the oppression is on our hands.

Too bad the Republican Leadership has abandoned its base. If they had remembered the basics - living wage jobs, decent school, and ability to plan for a secure retirement - their base would still be there for them.

Instead they opted for using their political offices to feather their own nests and using the government's budget as their own personal spending account.

We will remember in November.

The RPOF is clearly bankrupt of ideas.

I'd be embarrassed that my party was resorting to such childish and outdated tactics.

The RPOF probably would have chosen a different picture of Obama had they been familiar with the word "Progress".

The picture of Obama's campaign coordinator with a Che! sign in her office wasnt faked, thats for sure.

If Castro & Hamas support Barry, what are they trying to tell you? Let's see what other despots and unsavory people back him in the coming months.

If Dubya and Donny support McSame, what are they trying to tell you? Let's see what other despots and unsavory people back him in the coming months.

Standard Republicon politics… lie-distort-lie-distort-lie-distort… even if it leads to the death of over 4000 young American men and women.

Republicon Party Moto: “We Make Treason Fun”

… disgusting, pathetic, scum…

I think Fidel is hot!

struck a nerve! clearly the dems don't like when it's revealed they are the ideological conjoined siblings of castro and chavez

struck a nerve! clearly the repugnants don't like when it's revealed they are the ideological conjoined siblings of hitler and mao

[McCainStillSucksMonkeyChunks]

oh you dumb republicans, you forget the progressives rule the internets and now you got them mad

Communist Party newspaper = The Tallytown Republican Rag

Aren't they clever! I used to do the same thing with a jar of paste and some magazines in 3rd grade. My classmates thought I was a riot, but we didn't learn much from it.

Sounds like a bunch of whiners to me. Don't you have some delegates you're supposed to be crying about?

waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Wait until Barry's affair with the intern is let out of the bag. Even Castro won't be able to save him!!!

[Jason Straight]

Take your choice as to who has more freedom ..Cubans in Havan or inmates at Guantanamo..Close call..aint it ..There are over 200 jailed inmates ..The Bush administration has no evidence to bring them to trial..so they rot!!Food fer thought..You keep what you kill my GOP friends in this case its basic haman rights..

This is Obama’s plan for “change” in America

http://feedlot.blogspot.com/2008/02/barack-obamas-marxist-plan-for-america.html

Jason Straight, do us a favor and stick your head in an oven, you blithering idiot. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having read your post. To compare filthy war criminals to the oppression that the Cuban community must live under is reprehensible. It shows your complete stupidity, not to mention outright bigotry.

Photoshop "fake but accurate," like Texas Air National Guard memos.

It's called a parody.

par·o·dy
any humorous, satirical, or burlesque imitation, as of a person, event, etc.

5:10 - oh mr. originality is back!

and also showing his ignorance of history - hitler, leader of national SOCIALISTS, and mao the chinese communist were leftists

but don't let my facts confuse your little brain with what you get spoon fed from MarKos

5:53 - Nobody wants to know what you like to do with a jar of paste and some magazines, you sicko.

7:03 - great newspeak there - those "inmates" you are referring to where killing americans when they were picked up in afghanistan - and some who have been released went right back to killing - why don't you mourn the human rights of the americans they killed? oh of course because you're a loser lefty

Jason Straight---Some words for you.

Go straight to Cuba and join your Socialist friends, since you don't seem to like being a U.S. citizen.

Obama wants to meet with the leaders of Iran but doesn't have time to sit down with our military leaders in Iraq. Some Commander in Chief!!!

you mean... Castro doesn't really speak in "talk bubbles?" Gosh, I'm so glad you helpful liberals were here to set it straight. Those bastards at rpof had me convinced that was real. Thanks for looking out for me guys.

Hey, how are those delegates coming?

Obama and his followers want to practice what Chavez does and shut down any dissent. Anyone speaking out against the Messiah will be silenced. Don't laugh, this has been a long-standing plan of the far left to silence those on the conservative side. Chavez is doing it an so will Obama if elected. Adam's blog could well be history if negative posts against Obama are posted if he is elected. It's not a joke, folks it's a fact!!!

7:29

You are so correct. read Jonah Goldberg's book about liberal facism and it identifies who are the true facists. It's not the conservative Republicans!!!

Greer is an idiot

Obama is a racist

[Barry Goldwater]

Just a bunch of neo-Republicans, doing what they do best. Lies and spin. I'm ashamed of them.

[Consorte]

The image may be fake, but it communicates a definite truth. The Castro regime has always benefitted from Democrat Administrations:

Kennedy: Bay of Pigs debacle

Carter: formally recognizes Cuban regime; Mariel Boat Lift.

Clinton: 1994 rafter crisis in which Clinton gives into Castro's demand to increase Cuban migrant quota to 20,000; brothers to the rescue shootdown; Elian saga.

History has proven time and again the Democrats' proclivity to coddling leftist, anti-American dictators (i.e.: Castro, Ortega) while betraying pro-American allies (Shah, Uribe). Funny how the Democrats (Obama) will sit down with Castro, Kim, and Ahmadinejad, but they won't sit with Uribe (Gore).

What a 5th Column they are.

[Alex]

What's even more laughable is the Spanish translation. It's bad to the point of being disrespectful... can't the Republicans who boast of having so many Cuban American sympathizers find one capable of writing good Spanish? Shows you how much they respect their constituency.

Alex,

Go back to Cuba you socialist, Obama lover!!!

This is an embarassing waste of staff time.

[The Truth About Obama]

Senator Obama is not honest. He is definitely the old politics politician. He just says he's not. He's crtical of McCain for some lobbyists that McCain had on staff and has fired. Obama also has many lobbyists running his capmaign David Axelrod, his Campaign Manager is also a lobbyist. The press is giving no coverage to an article written by investigative reporter Michael Isikoff at Newsweek. See his article at the following link:

http://www.newsweek.com/id/138519

It's amazing that this has not been addressed by the Washington Post, NYTimes, or any of the cable "news" programs. Or maybe it's not amazing...it's typical of the Obama worshippers in the press. They've lost all credibility.

[Jason Straight]

My dear friend sadly 6 million ended up in an oven because they were denied baSIC CIVIL LIBERITES..The problem you must wrestlewith is can you trust the bush administration on weather the folks in Guantanamo have committed any crime?any are crinial and ..They are rushin to complete the trials before Jan..So far no luck in any conviction ..The sad truth is no government has the right to ignore the Geneva convention and if your gonna jail a human for life..get some proof.See Im not going in your oven.American citizens have the Constitution..Remember that ..Its called Habeas Corpus..Rememer my GOP friends you
are next..Obama is coming to your house and make your kids go to hindu school if you like it or not.Hes goona wire tape all of you and put all Neo cons in jail based on he wiretappin..thinkaboutit

Wow, you racist republicons are having a really tough time accepting the reality that a ½ black man will be POTUS. Your leader, the hypocritical drug addict Rush Limpdick, and the rest of the Fixed News cabal just don’t know what to do. The politics of fear and you SOP of lie-distort-lie-distort-lie-distort doesn’t seem to be working this time.

Now, I know you have a hard time seeing an AA as anything but the person who cleans your mansion, shines your shoes, keeps your garden, and sitting at the back of the bus… but it’ll be ok, I promise! He’ll do a fine job and he’ll even serve you… just not in the way you’re accustomed to.

So relax. After we take our 8-years to fix what you criminals have done to this great nation, you’ll get to screw it all up again. Just stay calm for a while, soon enough, you’ll get to send young American men and women to their death so your corporate buddies can profit again. All in good time, my little red treasonous scoundrels… all in good time.

[Former GOP]

Republicans seem to have only one campaign strategy: see who can make up the cleverest lies about the opposition. I'm ashamed that one of our political parties has fallen to this level. Perhap its true that "all is fair" in politics, but consider the practical results of this strategy in terms of the good of our country. We've had 8 years of disaster under an man who was hyped and spun into office and what has it done for us? What a tragedy to think that the government of the greatest nation on earth could fall into the hands of his successor through lies and trickery.

Jason Straight (5:40) - PUT DOWN THE HOOKA... I REPEAT, PUT DOWN THE HOOKA...

Seriously brother, step away from whatever you're smoking. It'll be okay. We can get help for you.

[Omega83]

Consorte...

It is true that Castro has taken the foreign policy weakness of Democratic Administrations and used them to his advantage.

However, the GOP and Dems alike perpetuate this foolish embargo which does nothing but prop Castro up

"It is true that Castro has taken the foreign policy weakness of Democratic Administrations and used them to his advantage."

As opposed to the foreign policy insanity of Republican Administrations that send young American men and women to die for corporate profit.

5:40am - geneva conventions cover uniformed members of another nation's army - not members of a terrorist organzation as we have at gitmo - go back to school

8:51 - um, the only people bringing up race in this presidential race are democrats - go read a newspaper

8:59 - it is not a lie that hamas and castro have basically endorsed obama - sad yes, but a lie it is not

What's wrong with the Democrats 'darling' candidate? He should be leading by at least 20-30 points in the polls based on what some of his lovers are posting to this blog about the election environment and what a great leader the Messiah will be.

The serious daily tracking polls, Rasmussen and Gallup, show John McCain with a 3-4 % national popular vote lead. This is a stunning result given the general weakness of the Republican Party this year, the low approval ratings for President Bush, the strong perception the county is headed in the wrong direction, the still unpopular Iraq war, the economic slowdown, gas and food prices, and what was supposed to be a consolidation among Democrats for Obama now that the media chorus has awarded him the nomination.

I smell an upset of all those great "change" plans. There's going to be change alright and Obama and the Messiah worshippers aren't going to be a part of it.

SOPO !!!

Good question 10:44. If Obama is such an outstanding candidate, why under such favorable conditions isn't he ahead?

8:51 Calm down. Not everything is about race. Your post exemplifies the typical response from many Obama supporters-- automatically labelling anyone who doesn't like Obama as racist. Be careful. Your own narrow mind is showing.

Wow, you racist republicons are having a really tough time accepting the reality that a ½ black man will be POTUS. Your leader, the hypocritical drug addict Rush Limpdick, and the rest of the Fixed News cabal just don’t know what to do.

Thank you, Comrade 3:03, I'm shaking in my shoes now. I'm sure you are having wet dreams of establishing reeducation camps and conducting mass executions, but don't count on the realty any time soon.

I think I’ve figured out why all these R’s are so frustrated and lashing out… it’s because they are being forced to support someone they have absolutely no desire to support, that of course being McSame!

You see, my little kool aid drinking Rush minions… McSame is this cycle’s Dole. Your self-proclaimed power boys knew this cycle was gong to the D’s, so why waste a good young R when you can feed McSame to the dogs! Hell, with his dementia, he’ll probably forget he even ran come November 6th… He’ll wake up that morning, settle in for some dry toast and a bowl of oatmeal, slip on a fresh pair of depends, pet the toaster and water the TV… and spend the morning gazing out of the medicine cabinet at the river flowing through the mailbox. Around 11 am, his Stepford wife will come in from making sure the pool boy painted the cabana, and ask Lil’ Johnny Napoleon how he’s doing. He’ll say, “I’m doing great mommy, and I can’t wait to try out for my slipknot badge and cub scouts today!” She’ll pat Lil’ Johnny on the head, and all will be right with his world.

Better luck next time.

another Kennedy another head wound

Funny thing how that whole truth thing hurts... aye boys?

Love,

The Pool Boy!

BDS is rapidly mutating into McCDS and those infect remain just as arrogant, repulsive and irrational. The guy at 3:43 is really a sick little idiot. It's a pity that his mama, at conception, didn't have a ready supply of spermicide.

Save it, Donny... get back in your mom's basement and take your meds... dope.

Obama flips and flops worse than John Kerry. The guy ain't gonna make it.

McSame plans to continue to send young American men and women to their death for corporate profit and to avenge Dubya's daddy.

Great website! However, it does not reflect what you are saying. It talks about McCain's great leadership skills and the lack of skills of Obama. Not sure you have posted the correct link!

I'm going to vote for McCain!!

Thanks for the excellent link and information on our next President!

The real Obama, watch this video and then decide. Do you want this man in the Presiency?

I don't!

To compare filthy war criminals to the oppression that the Cuban community must live under is reprehensible. It shows your complete stupidity, not to mention outright bigotry.

HAHA You called them war criminals! Sure you didn't mean to say "enemy combatants"?

So now you're admitting that the Bush admin. is disobeying international treaties approved by the U.S. Congress and thus Constitutionally considered "the law of the land"? Maybe theres hope for you yet!

The real McSame, watch your children and then decide. Do you want this man in the Presiency?
