Graham-Felsen, according to a 2003 article in the Harvard Crimson, adorned one corner of his shared student apartment with "a Communist Party flag ... bought on their trip to Russia the summer after sophomore year."

The revelation echoes an earlier public relations problem in February when a Houston Fox TV affiliate captured images of a volunteer in an Obama campaign office working in front of a flag featuring the image of Che Guevara, the South American revolutionary who became Fidel Castro's executioner after the communist takeover in Cuba.

At that time, the Obama campaign issued a statement calling the flag "inappropriate" and noting that the office where it was displayed was funded by "volunteers" and was not the official campaign headquarters.

FLIES that banner? No, FLEW that banner - past tense, in his college dorm room YEARS ago, after getting it as a tourist souvenir from his visit to non-Communist Russia.

Do you intend not to get the facts straight? No pop for this slop.

Glad to see McCarthyism making a comeback.
