The clueless aristocrats have descendents in spoiled college kids who think its trendy to idolize Communist revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara. Ches face is emblazoned on T-shirts; he was glamorized by the movie The Motorcycle Diaries; and Time magazine described him as a potent symbol of rebellion. But few of the college hipsters who admire Che know what he actually stood for.

Welcome to Free Republic.
Those that follow your link are going to talk about the picture “rules”.
Definitely required:

Good article, too.
I read your column and agree that the real Che is an unknown quantity to most of the clueless folks who adorn themselves, their cars and their rooms with Che-stuff.
But he is known to true radicals and communists, who idealize his revolutionary violence and killing as an integral element of the road to anachy, chaos and the rise of true Marxism.
But true Marxists cannot be open and honest about this since it would harm their image before the average citizen. Hence, the mealy-mouthed responses of the true “progressives” to your excellent article.
Hello, and welcome to FR!
One of the Democrats in the Barak Campaign HQ had Che on the wall in her office. I believe it was in TX — here is a link to the picture:

I like this one better.
And her shirt looks good also.
Great job and a great cause. Every time I go to the beach I see tons of these shirts being worn and for sale.
The students need to be educated about Che. Also, I think it is every bit as important to get to the students and young people wearing these shirts who are just doing it to be “cool”.
Subtle, popular culture propaganda is the best form of propaganda.
Keep up the good work.
Excellent!
I have a favorite picture of this murderer, but it's probably in bad taste to post it here. Let's just say he's lying down.
Is that the one where they're tickling him? Gets posted here all the time. Ms. Herzog will find FR a friendly place for people who realize what Che was instead of blindly following liberal fashion.
I thought they were pointing out wounds but, yes, that's the one.
