Most self-loathing bitter leftscum (redundant) aspire to this,

We must call them what they are: Communists and Marxists.

They would kill us if they could. They just can't get away with it. ( yet.)

True story: I live in Miami and know the guy who wears Che’s watch. They took it from his body before the guards took it away. I read this in the book Shadow Warrior and met the author.

I remember Che posters were hot property circa 1969, 1970.

he was known to be a brutal military commander who shot his unarmed enemies and even his own fighters in cold blood... Guevara is reported to have been responsible for the deaths of between 180 and "thousands" of prisoners. While the exact figures might be disputed, there is no doubt about his involvement... Guevara wrote: "To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution. And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate."

Thanks Civ for posting this.

Che Guevara had the good fortune to die young and handsome. Pretty enough for a T shirt.

Had he lived, he would just have been another Arafat with a cigar and a Spanish accent. Deep down, no matter what the myth and image remake, terrorists and totalitarian dictators were, are, and always will be, evil.

Che Guevara was good looking?! If you say so.

Obligatory Che Image
This pic should accompany Che threads like pics should accompany military hardware threads! :)

Someone should make a movie glorifying a real Latin American hero:

I still chuckle at that National Lampoon cover depicting a cream pie being smashed into the face of the Che poster, with the caption,

“IS NOTHING SACRED!!?”

Anyway, P.T. Barnum said there’s a sucker born every minute. He was limited in his observation: there are entire generations of suckers being born who go on to proudly display their Che posters.

Yes, I noted last time we had a Che thread, that he was one of the biggest losers of the twentieth century, and the more people know about him, the less likely they are to wear his T-shirts.

*Yawn* It’s been done before. In 1969 a movie about him came out called “Che!”, starring Omar Sharif as Che Guevara and Jack Palance as Fidel Castro.

I remember how “The Book of Lists” nominated it as one of the ten worst movies of all time. They’re probably only making another Che movie because the director figures he can do it right next time. Sounds like the reason why leftists want to give communism another chance, doesn’t it?

Omar Sharif as Che Guevara and Jack Palance as Fidel Castro

Oh, wow! That's gotta be somethin' to see. :'D
