Word is Fidel helped them to find him. Even Fidel found Che’s story tiresome, but he could always use a martyr.

The same office liberal insists on wearing a jacket with epaulets and a Chinese red star on it. One day I asked what the hell he wore it for - he didn’t think the jacket meant anything.

Leftist fashion, I’ve notice, is militaristic and features murderers. Methinks ‘coexist’ is a one sided affair with them.

...and Jane Fonda was famously quoted as wanting to “do him”. Skanky evil woman

Che Guevara was killed by the CIA assassin Felix Rodriquez, who had caught up with him in the jungles of Bolivia.

Unfortunately, not soon enough.

Was teaching Confirmation with my 30 something year old co-catechist who was born in Puerto Rico of Cuban parents that had escaped the communist paradise. One of the teen candidates came in with a Che back pack. She questioned him and he gave some pap answer of Che being a hero and we both said in unison “But he was a murderer”. She took him aside and spoke Spanish to him in low but firm tones for about 5 minutes. When finished he thanked her. Turns out he never heard the other side of the myth and said he would no longer use the back pack. He was a good kid and I was proud of my friend for taking the time to make her case. Don’t think I would have been as persuasive in english. :)

Oct. 9th 1967, socialist revolutionary and guerilla leader Che Guevara, age 39, is killed by the Bolivian army. The U.S.-military-backed Bolivian forces captured Guevara on October 8 while battling his band of guerillas in Bolivia and assassinated him the following day. His hands were cut off as proof of death and his body was buried in an unmarked grave. In 1997, Guevara’s remains were found and sent back to Cuba, where they were reburied in a ceremony attended by President Fidel Castro and thousands of Cubans.

Ernesto Rafael Guevara de la Serna was born to a well-off family in Argentina in 1928. While studying medicine at the University of Buenos Aires, he took time off to travel around South America on a motorcycle; during this time, he witnessed the poverty and oppression of the lower classes. He received a medical degree in 1953 and continued his travels around Latin America, becoming involved with left-wing organizations. In the mid 1950s, Guevara met up with Fidel Castro and his group of exiled revolutionaries in Mexico. Guevara played a key role in Castro’s seizure of power from Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959 and later served as Castro’s right-hand man and minister of industry. Guevara strongly opposed U.S. domination in Latin America and advocated peasant-based revolutions to combat social injustice in Third World countries. Castro later described him as “an artist of revolutionary warfare.”

Guevara resigned—some say he was dismissed—from his Cuban government post in April 1965, possibly over differences with Castro about the nation’s economic and foreign policies. Guevara then disappeared from Cuba, traveled to Africa and eventually resurfaced in Bolivia, where he was killed. Following his death, Guevara achieved hero status among people around the world as a symbol of anti-imperialism and revolution. A 1960 photo taken by Alberto Korda of Guevara in a beret became iconic and has since appeared on countless posters and T-shirts. However, not everyone considers Guevara a hero: He is accused, among other things, of ordering the deaths of hundreds of people in Cuban prisons during the revolution.

Ernesto Guevara-Lynch was an upper middle class Argie white boy who was turned in by Bolivian Indians who couldn’t tolerate his SJW BS anymore.
