Did Stalin really have a withered arm? I never knew that so it was hidden well. Also, dwarfish? I mean, how tall was he?

Waiting for the left to dig up John Wayne Gacy, as he was a notable democrat too.

What is it about the left that they love these mass murderers?

You have it backwards.

Mass murderers love the Left.

Time magazine has always been a news outlet for those who wanted to drastically change the Western World. It has disseminated subtle smears of Conservatives, side by side with not so subtle glamorization of Leftist functionaries.

Nothing new here.

Maybe his asthma kept him from his big ambition of launching a missile at New York City.

I always send this link to people I know when they start glorifying che, not that they read it, or believe it, or that it will matter at all if they actually do read it and believe it...

He was about 5’4”. His face was cratered from smallpox and his left arm got wrecked when he got hit by a horse drawn carriage when he was a kid.

The Tyranny of Che
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On May 12, 2015 @ 12:10 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage |

Che Guevara became such a campus hero to privileged leftists not because he was a peasant rebel, but because he was one of them, the son of a wealthy family, a bookish asthmatic brat who became the essence of radical chic. The Che of the red t-shirt has always been a myth. The real Che was the great-grandson of one of the richest men on the continent, his father owned a plantation (another ongoing theme among Cuban Communists) and he benefited from family connections on both side.

Che was the wheezing rich boy turned psychotic mass murderer that every campus leftie wishes he could be. And when he didn’t have an army of thugs behind him, the self-glorifying killer turned coward, begging for his life.

You’re welcome. Compared to Joe Stalin, Che Guevara was a dilettante.

Like he murdered so many of his opponents, in the end the same happened to him. Only fitting.

Che had no place in a civilized society, even a communistic one. He just could not fit in; did not want to fit in. Preferred to steal and plunder under the pretense of socialism, instead of being a productive member of society.

At first Castro put him to work in his regime, but Che could not get along with anyone and had a unrealistic insistence on ideological purity. Eventually, Castro sent him on a ill thought out suicide mission to Bolivia, where insurgents were not popular among the people, to get rid of him more or less.

After he was dead, he again became useful to the movement as a mythical commie martyr hero.

Oh, what the young generation does not know, and has not been taught! Let me know when Time Magazine is down to five pages. I would never buy one due to the liberal propaganda, but might go by the library just to see one and chuckle.

Picked up a time mag in my dentists waiting room, it looked like a flyer from some cult that I find on my doorstep.
I threw it in the wastebasket and decided I need a new dentist.
