More Celebrity Endorsements for Barack Obama: Kim Jong-Il and Fidel Castro

Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at 9:56:55 am PST

It’s nearly unanimous; terrorist groups and cruel dictators have made a clear choice in the US presidential election: OneFreeKorea - Obama Gets Another Unwanted Endorsement.

The Chosun Sinbo, the mouthpiece of North Korea’s Japanese front organization Chongryon and often for the North Korean regime itself, has announced its preference for Obama over McCain, whom it calls “a variant of Bush” and “nothing better than a scarecrow of neoconservatives,” which is a bit odd considering that the Bush Administration’s giveaway diplomacy is better for Kim Jong Il than even Clinton’s awful performance. 

It’s worth pausing to consider the disturbing rhetorical similarity between the Chosun Sinbo and Daily Kos, although the sheer incoherence of Bush’s North Korea policy makes any comparison to it questionable. ...

North Korea’s endorsement of Obama will probably draw comparisons to the unwanted Hamas endorsement of Obama, which Hamas later withdrew after Obama spoke at AIPAC’s convention.  Fidel Castro, by contrast, took a more sophisticated and self-aware approach:

[O]n Monday [Castro] gave Senator Barack Obama an endorsement of sorts, calling him “the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency” while also berating him for his plan to continue the trade embargo against Cuba. “Were I to defend him, I would do his adversaries an enormous favor,” Mr. Castro said. “I have therefore no reservations about criticizing him.”  [N.Y. Times, The Caucus]
Which Castro then proceeded to do, on Obama’s stated support for trade sanctions during a campaign speech to Cuban exiles in Miami.

UPDATE at 6/22/08 1:03:58 pm:

Here’s a report on the recent North Korean statement on McCain and Obama: World Tribune — Obama offers change Kim Jong-Il can believe in.

And here’s the original Korean article it comes from: 조선신보사

The variety of completely truthful and devastating commercials that could be made against Barack Obama boggle the mind. A commercial about his 'friends', about his endorsements from anti-American anti-freedom leaders around the world, about his claims to "reach across the aisle", about his rote liberalism, about his $300,000+/annum bitter wife (he cannot bring her 'hope' but he can for all of America?), about his exposing his young children to the hatred and bigotry of that 'church'...and on and on and on.

Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation. It is better be alone than in bad company.

Which is worse, that Barack Obama does not realize this or that he does not see his associates and epigones as people of ill repute?

Actually, with his lanky limbs, he very much resembles a marionette.

And George Soros very much resembles a puppetmaster.

You're correct, they weren't cartoon figures in that movie. Indeed, the evil Soros is Barry O's puppetmaster.

If he was alive today, since they endorse him, I am certain he would endorse Obama right back!

True. I do not think that outside of Chicago, people can really comprehend what this is all about. New York still kind of considers the Mets an expansion team.
The Sox & Cubs are a couple of the original MLB franchises.
It is a lot of fun, but we (Sox) need a win. The Twins are coming on.

This is a sports town from way back. Just like in St Louis, the people here really know their baseball. And the Bears franchise goes back to the original days as well. Not to mention the Blackhawks and the Bulls. This is serious business, and serious fun. I am having a ball.

re: #12 Shug

Obama has one thing in his favor

Most of his supporters have never heard of Fidel castro or Kim jong Il

Ignorance is bliss. Hope and Change.

It's not ignorance which drives "progressives", most of them do know of castro or kim, support socialism and on balance think communist dictators are forces for good. Sad, but it's important to know the progressives are socialists at heart. So, the talk of bigger government and empowering politicians is a positive for most, they want European style socialism.

Whoa, hold on here a minute. I'll remind you New York used to have three teams through 1957. Granted, before my time, but do the names Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants ring any bells?

Naturally, they we overshadowed by the Yankees, as the Mets now are to an extent, but any "rivalry" between the Cubs and Dodgers is dwarfed by the Dodgers-Giants and Yankees-Dodgers.

Unfortunately, the USS McCain has a habit of hitting icebergs....so, if USS Obama can make it back to port, he still might win....ugh!

Don't fool yourself, Obama is a hard as nails Chicago Democratic machine politician who will do anything to win. These are just minor upsets. Obama will be running to right of McCain soon. Just imagine, the Daley, Blagojevich, Wright, Rezko, Ayres Chicago machine running the whole USA!

They don't give a hoot about what they have to hand out in government bribes to gain control, it's all about the political power. The programs and dependency are just a means to the end. They are purposeful and malicious.
