Burlington Coat Factory promotes t-shirts of communist murderer Che Guevara
and THIS store as well:
The more the Che's message is watered down the more insignificant he becomes. Who cares.
I think the fact that clueless American kids will be wearing Che's face on their shirts is in fact a tremendous insult to the communist, and his fans.
Che is now equated with Britney Spears in my mind. And that's about right.
OMG! The Communist Che being used by capitalists to sell products! The horror! The horror!
Without these shirts, it can take up to thirteen seconds of conversation to conclusively identify people as such.
responsible for over 100 million murders?
In partnership with Fidel Castro and Nikita Khruschcehv, Ernesto Guevara nearly started World War Three in 1962.
This is a dangerous trend and not something to be taken lightly. Revolutionary-minded Latinos in our country are hoping to make Che Guevara into a hero/martyr/revolutionary icon.
When I was High School Sect. a boy came in wearing a Malcom X hat. Asked if he knew anything about the man he was proudly wearing on his head. When he said no, I suggested reading something about him - a couple of different books. The next week all Malcom X apparel disappeared from the campus. But, he was a good kid, and had enough intelligence to read a book.

When are the Adolph Hitler t-shirts coming out?
"Che was a Marxist solider who aided the Cuban revolution. He advocated the philosophy of communism which is responsible for over 100 million murders and he personally supervised the executions of scores of people himself."
Ernesto was from Argentina, a sickly child who became a medical doctor. He was not a "soldier;" he was Castro's medic. He was also the only other intellectual around most of the time when Castro was in the mountains, and they conversed a great deal.
Apparently, Che developed the delusion that he was a "warrior by association" with Castro. After murdering many innocent people with his own hands after Castro took over, he talked Castro and the Sovs into backing him in an attempt to turn indigenous unrest in the Congo into a Marxist revolution.
He failed abysmally, because he was not by disposition or ability a warrior, and fled under cover of night with his tail between his legs. Following that he resigned all his posts in the Cuban Communist Party and government.
Subsequently, he was backed in a small way to take another try in Bolivia. He took his troops on a "training mission," during which he became lost and got some of them killed crossing a river. When the Bolivian troops caught up with him, filthy, lost, and starving, he came out saying, Don't shoot, I'm Che Guevara. I'm worth more alive than dead (or words to that effect in Spanish).
Despite "high level" representations from the US, who thought it would be better to humiliate him than to make a martyr of him, the President of Bolivia ordered him shot and buried in a secret grave.
It was too good for him by far, although it would indeed have been better to humiliate him than make a martyr of him.
It does matter that Americans would wear Che's image. It is very important. I'm surprised there are so many Freepers who think it is no biggie.
Those of us who have lived in Latin America and witnessed the murderous handiwork of so many Che wannabes have some strong feelings about it.
Good post. Burlington Coat Factory Outlet will get no biz from me.
Someone in the Cuban community (or somebody) needs to do a documentary on the killing of innocent people by Che Gueverra. Now, he's just a "hip" picture, but he needs to be linked to Hitler (or more appropriately Musollini [the loser, more inept comrade of Hitler]) in his killing of innocent people. Personal interviews with surviving family members, etc.
I'm very surprised this hasn't been done before.
I'm sure many of my politically savy,Liberal Jewish friends will be the first to buy one.
