Che wasn't actually Name Che Guevara at all, he grew up as Ernesto Guevara Lynch.
Che wasn't Cuban, he was born on June 14, 1928 in Rosario, Argentina, the eldest of five children in a family of Spanish, Basque and Irish descent.
Che stunk like a pig. His schoolmates also nicknamed him "Chancho" ("pig"), because he rarely bathed, and proudly wore a "weekly shirt." Yep, he was a dirty SOB. A "weekly shirt?" Who wants to bet he had monthly underwear?
Che Guevara was a nerd. Guevara learned chess from his father and began participating in local tournaments by age 12. During adolescence and throughout his life he was passionate about poetry, especially that of Pablo Neruda, John Keats, Antonio Machado, Federico García Lorca, Gabriela Mistral, César Vallejo, and Walt Whitman. Yep, a real bad ass this one.
And lastly, every time some libtard buys a Che shirt, or hat, or any other silly thing adorned with Che's image, they are directly contradicting everything he stood for, by to the consumer culture he despised. So buy, buy away folks, and prove your ignorance.
He was also a mass murderer. We should probably add that to the list.
At least we know what his real name is, we cannot say the same thing about the one who sleeps in the White House.
Is it:
Barry Dunham
Barry Toots
Barry Soetoro
Barry Marshall
Barrack H. Obama
None of the above?
There’s nothing nerdy about playing chess.
His taste in poetry is a little gay, though.
I kinda like Keats.
I like Keats too. Keats is bad-ass :0)
We have way better things to criticise the murderous hate-filled Che for than his reading habits.
Who was it who said:
"A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate"
Was it:
Bill Ayers
Why is a taste in poetry bad?
George S Patton Jr liked poetry and even wrote his own and he was the biggest bad ass American general in WWII.
“Che stunk like a pig. His schoolmates also nicknamed him “Chancho” (”pig”), because he rarely bathed, and proudly wore a “weekly shirt.”
What’s new? Most liberals stink.
I didn’t a taste in poetry. I said Ernie the Executioner’s taste in poetry.
I was referring to Whitman specifically, who I can’t stand.
“Che Guevara was a nerd. Guevara learned chess from his father and began participating in local tournaments by age 12.”
Actually, his involvement in chess was a good thing. Too bad that he seemed to lose his interest in chess, and became more interested in committing war crimes, specifically the execution of underage political prisoners.
Ok. I guess I misread your comment or took it out of context.
Ernesto Guevara Lynch: Misunderstood White Boy who thought he could lead the Indians in Bolivia to revolution, but the Indians thought otherwise.
I prefer Yeats to Keats.
That was a great read.
Like all totalitarian popinjays, Che was not only a bloody murderer, he was a coward.
