Alleged Comedienne Margaret Cho Idolizes Communist Mass Murderer (but thinks US is evil)

The Blogspirator was surfing the Dubya Dubya Dubya (thanks, Algore!) for a new installment of the Seething Leftist Web Watch, and came across something so vile, so rank, so loathesome that it deserved it's own post.

No, I'm not just talking about radical leftist "comedienne" Margaret Cho... but about her DVD and line of t-shirts called "Cho Revolution."

Apparently, Margaret Cho has a thing for communist mass-murderers. Particularly Che Guevara.

Here are Margaret Cho's t-shirts, cd, and a photo of Che Guevara, side by side.



The red star, a symbol of international communism. The clenched fist, a symbol of militant rebellion. Nice going, Margaret Cho.

Wikipedia has a webpage that details some of the acts that the mass murderer Che Guevara committed.

While helping Castro to take over Cuba,

Guevara exhibited great courage, skill in combat, and ruthlessness and soon became one of Castro's ablest and most trusted aides. Guevara took responsibility for the execution of informers, insubordinates, deserters and spies in the revolutionary army.

After taking over Cuba with Castro,

In 1959, Che Guevara was appointed commander of the La Cabana Fortress prison.

During his term as commander of the fortress from 1959-1963, he oversaw the executions of hundreds of political prisoners and regime opponents (estimates range from 500 to 1700). Many individuals imprisoned at La Cabana, such as poet and human rights activist Armando Valladares, allege that Guevara took particular and personal interest in the interrogation, torture, and execution of some prisoners.

and

Che's book, Guerrilla Warfare, was seen for a time as the definitive philosophy for fighting irregular wars. Guevara believed that a small group (foco) of guerrillas, by violently targeting the government, could actively foment revolutionary feelings among the general populace, so that it was not necessary to build broad organizations and advance the revolutionary struggle in measured steps before launching armed insurrection.

further...

he strongly supported the Vietnamese Revolution, although North Vietnam maintained a pro-Soviet posture, and urged his comrades in South America to create "many Vietnams."

In Che Guevara's message to the Tricontinental, he wrote...

"Hate as a factor in the struggle, intransigent hatred for the enemy that takes one beyond the natural limitations of a human being and converts one into an effective, violent, selective, cold, killing machine. Our soldiers must be like that..."

The Blogspirator thinks that this begs a question.

Why would Margaret Cho want to emulate a mass-murdering communist?

Perhaps for the same reason that she equated US troops with jihadis snuff-film producers in a recent blog entry?

I look at their ringleader, Zarqawi, and I think about how he is younger than me. He was in the fourth grade when I was starting high school. I humanize him because his actions are incomprehensibly inhuman. Is he more a villain than an American soldier who picks off dozens of Iraqis with his assault rifle or tortures prisoners at Abu Ghraib? We justify their atrocities because they are doing their best for their country, but then again, that is exactly what the hooded executioners of Tawid and Jihad are doing.

PS: You ain't funny neither, Marge.

No she isn't funny, But she is awfully damned ugly. I often wonder how the comedy clubs are doing in cuba.

[MikefromOhio]

who is Margaret Cho again?

[Chad Fairbanks]

And Margaret Cho matters why?

[grace522]

Margaret Cho is a reptile marking her path with slime wherever she goes and breathing mildew at everything fresh and fragrant.

[Darksheare]

Where's that pic of her looking bloated and ugly while screaming into a microphone?
Who has it 'cause it would illustrate her perfectly!

[adam_az]

[Darksheare]

Yeah, that one!!
Thanks!

[adam_az]

"And Margaret Cho matters why?"

She's a famous "comedienne" who campaigns for democrats.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

[Happygal]

This it?

[Chad Fairbanks]

I know. Now, based on that, how could ANYONE take anything she says seriously?

[Fishman1]

She is HOT! BAAAAHHHH

[jennyjenny]

Sorta, kinda off topic here, but does anyone have a link/list of entertainers that have publicly supported Kerry? I know the usual suspects, but am hoping to find a more complete list. Thanks!

[Darksheare]

Nope, Adam got it.
And man is she oooogly.
In the pic you posted she reminds me of "Queen Rita Repulsa" from Power Rangers..

[Steel Wolf]

As far as using Che as a twist for her T shirts, so what? We do the same thing with the 'Viva la Reagan Revolucion'. It's funny.

I'd complain about the fact that making a 'Che' T-shirt with 'Cho' on it is the funniest thing I've ever heard of Cho doing. Ever. And it ain't that original.

On her webpage...

Email Margaret (NOT PRIVATE. Note to Freepers: Margaret will not see your email and your name and address may be posted.)


HAHA!

[Happygal]

Helen Thomas should hang out with her.
Might scare the populice, but Thomas mighn't look so ugly standing beside her. ;-)

Both Cho and Sarandon have experienced nervous breakdowns. Last week Sarandon admitted so on Diane Sawyer interview. Pay no mind to the mumblings and grunts of radical schizo liberal leftists. It's the equivalent of watching a disturbed child spread their feces on a wall. (wave out to southernPhil-ah) Yo

[Darksheare]

The two of them teaming up with Hillary would be enough top crush the libido of every man alive.
Instant worldwide birth control..
