Environmental Protection Agency staff opened their inboxes Thursday to find an agency-wide Hispanic Heritage Month email featuring a prominent picture of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, and largely plagiarized from the website Buzzle.com.
According to the EPA, the email — which heralded the beginning Hispanic Heritage Month on Saturday and offered cultural details about Hispanics — was an accident and the employee responsible has apologized.
“The email was drafted and sent by an individual employee, and without official clearance. Shortly after sending the email in question the individual apologized to her colleagues for the inadvertent error,” an EPA spokesman emailed TheDC in a statement.
While it was a mistake, the email caught the eye and ire of Foreign Relations Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen who called the image of Guevara “insulting.”
“I am aghast and upset that a federal agency would send an email depicting el Che Guevara in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. This Administration just doesn’t seem to get it,” Ros-Lehtinen said in a statement.
“The image of Che is an insult to countless people who lost family members because of his evil and twisted acts. El Che was a blood thirsty, vengeful, cowardly, sadistic, two bit delinquent who used his position as enforcer in chief of the Castro brothers to send countless innocent persons before the firing squads.”
Fox News Latino reported that some Florida state representatives were also upset, saying they were “insulted” and “outraged” by the memo.
“Che was a cold-blooded murderer who killed so many innocent victims,” Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, Florida Republican and a Cuban-American, said in an email to Fox Latino. “This Administration has granted visas to Mariela Castro and other top Cuban regime officials, offered the Castro brothers unilateral concessions, and now sends an E-mail with a image of an anti-American mass murderer.”
“...the employee responsible has apologized” - but was the individual taught the utter evil this man wrought on hispanic citizens especially the Cubans? I doubt the employee was fired since his poster was plastered all over the offices during the emptychairs election.
well we know what kind of mind set is running EPA we need to abolish epa
Wrong. They want us to pull the carts while they ride, as they wield whips to make us go faster. The horses will all be romping on beautiful Agenda 21 pastures, far away from our crowded tenements.
One day I hope history records this entire criminal regime called the Obama Administration as an INADVERTENT ERROR!!!!!!!
oh sure just like the Russian ships at the DNC
“The PJ Tatler has obtained documents from the Justice Department detailing efforts to recruit attorneys and staff who are dwarfs or who have “psychiatric disabilities” or “severe intellectual disabilities.” On May 31, 2012, Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez issued a directive to affirmatively recruit people with these “targeted disabilities.”
This DOJ policy does not merely involve prohibitions against discrimination, but rather the documents reveal deliberate recruitment efforts to hire as attorneys and staff for the Department of Justice people suffering from psychiatric disorders and intellectual disabilities. Moreover, applicants can “self-identify” their disability by means of the “Standard Form 256, Self Identification Disability.”
Those with “targeted disabilities” may be hired through a “non-competitive” appointment. That means they don’t have to endure the regular civil service competition among applicants, but can be plucked from the stack of resumes and hired immediately instead.
According to the documents, those with these “targeted disabilities” may be hired “before the position is advertised” and even “before the position’s closing date.” Moreover, lawyers with psychiatric disabilities and “severe intellectual” disabilities receive a waiver from the requirement that a new DOJ employee have practiced law for one year before being hired.
You can read the detailed Civil Rights Division “Hiring of Persons With Targeted Disabilities Policy” memo here.”...

I stand corrected.
Bump!
Abe warned us..
You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas . . . .
MSM quotes the EPA as if they are the smartest people on this planet. In fact they are just “political consultants” hired to rubber stamp approval to a political position.
Then he had every qualification needed for a senior job at the EPA. :)
Weird how the Obamanistas never make these kinds of “errors” in defense of freedom and democracy.
Wasn’t this guy’s face also hanging from the White House Christmas tree recently? Maybe that’s why they thought it would fly.
For later
And now, after all the "apologies", the employee will probably get a promotion.
Personally I’d have related better to Pancho Villa. His early occupation, banditry, relates better to federal agencies. He was economical, lining up his enemies in order that one bullet could be used to kill three or four. He was engaged in forced land acquisition and had no concept of individual rights, trial by jury or rule of law. Unfortunately it’s hard to say if he was actually a communist or not.
Sometimes, I occasionally slip up and send out my Pol Pot-Mao Tse Tung daily double.
Seems like a hundred times a day (and I'm not even on FR that much, too busy) I read articles like this, or freepers' comments about "doesn't get it", "clueless", "weakness", etc.
People need to GET IT that the PLAN IS WORKING!!! This is engineered! The gang in charge are Communists and Muslims!!! Not just clueless idiots!
Hell, if the firing squads were not quick enough to shoot the accused, Che shot the victim himself. A cold blooded murderer.
At least we now know for sure who is RUNNING THE EPA.
Just think, in an Obama second term they won’t have to apologize anymore for stuff like this...
