Red Star
The five-pointed red star, a pentagram without the inner pentagon, is a symbol of communism as well as broader socialism in general. It is sometimes understood to represent the five fingers of the worker's hand, as well as the five continents.

History
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels used the red star as a symbol. It was also one of the emblems, symbols, and signals representing the Soviet Union under the rule and guidance of the Communist Party, along with the hammer and sickle. The star has since become a symbol representing socialism of all varieties.

Check out Ayers t-shirt..
YouTube - Bill Ayers Calls the Police on FOX Reporter

Barack Obama Signs, Barack Obama T Shirts, Barack Obama Stickers and More

Wow. . .I never saw the red star on the Obama stuff before. You think that the campaign would ask them to remove it.

The Ayres piece was kinda funny. . . I guess finally him and Joe the Plumber might have something in common.

Thanks for the link to the Obama store! I found some cool Obama gear to order

If any Republican MC’ers are looking for McCain gear I’d recommend GOP Trunk - McCain Store

OP since you seem to be interested in red stars just browse around and you’ll find some cool gear for yourself too!

OP - perhaps your time might be better spent building an underground tunnel system or something.

Great! We're all screwed! LOL!

Yes, but then APENNYSAVED's conspiracy theory would be all shot to he!!. Some evil Dem or Liberal MUST have concocted that site you listed just to fool us Libs into buying all the McCain stuff because we will have thought he has "come over to our side."

Geesh......What desperate crap will she come up with next????

I am personally willing to send a roll of tin foil to OP. Anyone else want to send some as well?

This thread made me giggle. Op is really a piece of work. Now for my coffee to wake up to read what else those wacky right leaning folks have to say. This is the best entertainment around.

As I have said before, some people need those tin foil hats. They see conspiracy in everything Obama. Must be an awful way to live.

Giggle all you want. Here's what I found about the red star from Wikipedia:

The five-pointed red star, a pentagram without the inner pentagon, is a symbol of communism as well as broader socialism in general. It is sometimes understood to represent the five fingers of the worker's hand, as well as the five continents. A lesser known suggestion is that the five points on the star were intended to represent the five social groups that would lead Russia to communism: the youth, the military, the industrial labourers, the agricultural workers or peasantry, and the intelligentsia. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels used the red star as a symbol[citation needed]. It was also one of the emblems, symbols, and signals representing the Soviet Union under the rule and guidance of the Communist Party, along with the hammer and sickle. The star has since become a symbol representing socialism of all varieties.

OP, I had never paid any attention to it before. It is all over Obama's merchandise. And Ayers t-shirt had a huge red star on it. People see what they want to see, I guess. Maybe the libs like socialism???

How ironic that Ayers called the POLICE -- he bombed a police department years ago and now he's calling for their help??? What a JERK!

Um, Sunshine? Did you miss the big red star on all the McCain merchandise?

Wanna re-think -- ok, think -- your position?

Oh No ----------------

You're colorblind, sweetie. That star is NOT red (like Obama). McCain's stars are either white or silver.

Ah well, ya got me there.

Perhaps is just a star like mcc's is.

And perhaps it is not.

I hear Truble has a lot of tin foil just in case you are out in your area

I don't know where she lives, but apparently it's ultra-liberal, with the ultra-liberal local paper endorsing Obama. So she ain't anywhere near me!

Actually, I think that she's going need at least 4 cases of tinfoil, maybe more.

Oh my gosh, as a McCain supporter I see nothing wrong with the red star. Most, if not all, of the Logos for his campaign are produced by the Democratic Campaign Committee. I highly doubt there is a subliminal message with the red star.

Again...much ado about nothing.

Holy Crapoly, this is far and away the most asinine, bizarre bullsh*t I've read about this entire election. How paranoid are you people??? I sure hope that if Obama is elected you'll somehow manage to get a grip on yourselves (as we did when that idiot you all voted for was awarded the presidency).

Unless OP meant it as a joke, in which case...very funny!

Maureen

That's the most refreshing post I've read around here in a long time. Thank you.

The ops link is a site not affiliated with Barack Obama campaign either. Bet you and the OP already know that though. I have looked through the store on the real Barack Obama site and there are no red stars anywhere.

WRONG! It most certainly IS affiliated with the McCain campaign. I found the site by going to JohnMcCain.com - McCain-Palin 2008 and clicking on "Store".
