Che had a great press agent--Fidel Castro

Che always had that "holier than thou" attitude, and he died because of it.

[SF Republican]

Che addressed the UN?

The DUmmies think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Morons.

I wonder if these kids that wear those Che t-shirts know anything about him

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

I work at a Marine Base, and while working out at the fitness center saw a young Hispanic Marine wearing a CHE T-shirt. I started to say something, but I doubted if he knew anything about Che. What fools.

"Executions?" Che Guevara exclaimed while addressing the hallowed halls of the UN General Assembly on Dec. 9, 1964. "Certainly, we execute!" he declared to the claps and cheers of that august body. "And we will continue executing as long as it is necessary! This is a war to the DEATH against the Revolution's enemies!"

Hmm... maybe if John Bolton would plagiarize this part of Che's speech, we could get the UN to stop whining about capital punishment. I mean, it worked for Che, right? Oh, wait... we execute people in defense of civilization, not because of class envy and ignorance. Nope, won't work.

Any celebrations?

[Gay State Conservative]

A Marine wearing something like that...particularly while on base...must violate *some* clause in the UCMJ.

Following the revolution, Che and Fidel confiscated all the gold pesos on Cuba. The stash was estimated to weigh between 40-60 TONS. Do the math on a Troy ounce to calculate its worth. Only Che and Fidel knew its whereabouts. Some guess its in Havana Harbour. But there was only one partner left after Fidel shot Che.

Here's one of my favorite photos of the great Che Guevara:

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Benicio Del Toro used to be among my favorite actors, but I don't like morons and his statements about Che confirms for me he is one.

I hate to play master of the obvious but everything I read about Che proves to me that his greatest loves were killing people and power. Nothing more.

True, but The Motorcycle Diaries rocked.

Had he just died after that...everything would have been fine!

[dfwgator]

The Motorcycle Diaries rocked.

Gee why don't they make a movie glorifying the young Heinrich Himmler while they're at it.
