I'm kinda floored.

Here's the Full Quote:

Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!
Jesse Ventura, 2008

Che is a very interesting individual to read about. I respect him because, as much as I oppose communism, Che believed in it with the same fervor that I have for capitalism. I respect the fact that he would die for his convictions. How did a man as bright as Che develop the hatred for the United States and all that we stood for? I've eliminated jealousy as a reason. He was a medical doctor, a healer. It clearly had to be that he saw the results of what we did to other countries, in the name of freedom and capitalism. Which, in many ways, was not pretty if you were on the wrong end of it.

So, a mirror of Che Guevara has a profound place in my house. I'm not the least ashamed to say that. When I go to wash my hands, I look at Che.

So would have say the same thing about Hitler?

Hitler certainly was a true believer, and no one could question his willingness to die for his convictions.

So he was a mad killer, with some fervor. You respect him for that? How weird.

Oh (duh) What a day I’m having!!!!! This isn’t you that’s saying this, but Jesse Ventura.

I think I’ll look up his real name and call him that from now on. He doesn’t deserve to have a fake name.
