El Ché Admires the Messiah's Great Taste in Art

Greetings once again, my fellow Revolutionaries and True Believers! It is I, El Ché, proud and humble hero of the Obama movement, blogging to you from the confines of my cell here in the lowest circle of Hell.

Today, as I recover from having gigantic shards of broken glass floating in molten lava poured down my throat through a tube (...And let me tell you, that does things to one's stomach that even a hundred thousand bottles of Pepto Bismol could not help, if we even had access to such things! And if you think it hurts going in, just wait 'til it passes! Aye chihuahua! I cannot even describe the pain! But I digress...), I must take a moment to discuss with you all of the truly beautiful Obama posters I have been seeing out there! You, my dear Messiah, are a true master at the art of propaganda!

Surely, you know the posters of which I speak. Here are some examples...








The comrade who creates these beautiful posters for you? A bonafide Revolutionary!

Once more, I must commend you, my brother, as you so brazenly walk among those who are on the far-left fringe! Why, you even sent him a letter of thanks, which he posted on his very own website:



In case the peasants are having trouble reading your profound words of wisdom, I will make it easier...

"Dear Shepard,

I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status-quo.

Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part of your artwork and proud to have your support. I wish you continued success and creativity.

Sincerely,
Barack Obama"

Success? Creativity? Ah, jes! How can he help it, though, when he is inspired by such works of beauty! Certainly, you have seen some of the originals on which he bases so much of his "artwork", no?





It brings a tear to one's eye to know that the Revolution goes on!

This next one may not be one of Mr. Fairey's, but it is easily Ché's favorite!...



Had I not just endured the torture of several days of having my genitalia attached to a taffy-puller, I am most certain Little Ché would be standing at attention and saluting such a thing of raw beauty!

The majesty, the craftsmanship... it reminds me of the finest Communist propaganda posters of the bygone days of yesteryear. Why, it is almost as if I had seen it somewhere before...



Oh, jes! Of course, how silly of me! It seems all your poster-makers have a thing for classic Commie propaganda! It feels so good to be chic once more!

Of course, not just your posters have the flavor of the Communist movement, there is also the music! The band you chose to play at your rally in Portland, Oregon? The Decemberists? Bonísimo!

"That’s right: incredible as it sounds, the band blasts the Russian-language national anthem of the USSR at the beginning of every concert. And not the sanitized Putin version either — the old-guard Communist version that glorifies the Party of Lenin. Do I remember those lyrics well! As a former Soviet citizen, I have quite an emotional connection to this music: the Soviet-era one-channel radios used to play it at six every morning as a nationwide wakeup call, causing me hours of lost sleep. I tried to escape this dark memory by coming to America, but the American “progressives” just won’t let me forget.

What puzzles me is this: what connection can the Soviet national anthem possibly have with today’s young Americans who get so ecstatic every time they hear Obama’s promise of “change”? And what exactly is meant by “change”? Perhaps the words of the anthem will hold the answer:

In the victory of Communism’s deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!...

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labor and valorous deed."

One last thing, Comrade. I believe that I have found your first appointment to the Supreme Court! He would would make a fine addition, no?



And now, sadly, I must go. I am due to be drawn and quartered and have my entrails fed to demons. But fear not, I shall return to share with you more of my wisdom on all things Revolutionary!

Here's to the future... to the New U.S.S.R.: the United States of Socialist Republics! Change we can believe in! Adios, muchachos!

A Few Words of Advice from El Ché

Ola, my fellow Obamites, it is none other than I, the great hero of the oppressed, El Ché, blogging to you undead and in person from the bowels of the underworld!

I will be taking a few minutes out of my busy schedule every now and then (between my frequent colonics with swarms of angry wasps and chiggers) to offer some unsolicited advice to my good friend and fellow Revolutionary, Barack Obama. See, I know a little something about Marxist revolutions myself, and take it from El Ché, they are no picnic!

First of all, you will need to control the media in order to control what the mindless masses are permitted to see and hear, a task which I see you have well in hand. What I am at a loss to figure out is, how did you accomplish this with such great ease? Are the American media that weak-minded and pathetic an adversary? It boggles the mind...

Anyway, as much as you have already accomplished sending thrills up the legs of sissy men, you must subdue that element of the media that will not voluntarily submit to your mighty will. I think you know of whom I speak. Talk radio will be easy prey once the Socialist Democrat controlled Politburo Congress is seated along with you as their Premier President in January, as the groundwork is already being laid to silence it with the brilliantly (if ironically) named "Fairness Doctrine" --- I tell you it is such a thing of beauty!

Silencing all opposing points of view under the guise of "fairness" is pure genius, even Josef Stalin is envious of that idea! He was fawning over it just last month as we both endured several hundred hours of having our eyeballs shaved and then slowly baked from the inside with acid. Why, I even have it on good authority that Satan himself was gushing over the whole concept as he personally sodomized Chairman Mao with his razor sharp barbed phallis not long ago, so kudos on that idea!

Fox News will be trickier to bring down, but I have much faith in you, muchacho! I suggest you speak at great length with our good mutual friend Hugo Chavez on this matter. He dealt with a similar situation rather brilliantly not long ago. I am certain that if you heed his advice, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity will be dwelling in cardboard boxes under the el tracks with the rest of the American peasantry before you know it!

Then, there are those pesky bloggers. I am certain that with some creative regulation, the victorious American Socialist Party... uh, I mean the "Democrats" (wink, wink) can find a way to silence the dissenters while still managing to leave the useful sheep who sing your praises on the World Wide Web unaffected. For help on this matter, I suggest you look next door to Canada, where their Human Rights Commission (wink, wink) has been making great strides in similar endeavors!

Oh, before I run, I must say, this lovely lady who campaigns for you down in Tejas is muy caliente!



I must hand it to you, my brother, you have some major cajones to be flaunting your relationships with so many far-left radicals so openly, but you have so much gravitas and such a fawning press, no one seems to notice or care!!!

Sorry, but I must be off for now. I do not want to be late for my disemboweling with the white hot poker again. Last time I was late, I had to endure 1,000 extra sessions and let me tell those of you lucky enough to never have experienced such a thing, you do not wish to be given even one extra session!

Adios for now, amigos! Viva la Revolution!

You can write to Ché at DeadCommie/nospam/ at g/nospam/mail dot /nospam/com

However, if I have to explain to you how to make a valid email address out of that, he doesn't want to hear from you!

Also, if he responds at all, it will be on the pages of this blog, where he is liable to make an ass out of you, so be warned. Now bugger off, he's busy!
