As you watch the short video of the celebration outside the White House on election night, one of the revelers is waving a very large hammer and sickle flag of the defunct Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The following quote is from Power Line at the link below:

Reporters covering the scene were taken aback, but it was no fluke: at the antiwar marches that helped launch Obama as a national figure, Soviet flags, images of Che Guevara and other Communist placards and symbols were commonplace, as we and others documented at the time.

Most of these marches and rallies were organized by International ANSWER and other Communist groups. So it's not surprising that some of Obama's supporters take his pledge to "spread the wealth around" a little too literally.

Will Barack Obama be able to disassociate himself from the disreputable groups that have given him support during his campaign?
