Cuba's late Marxist revolutionary, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, is experiencing something of a revival these days. His fiery-eyed visage and rock-star good looks, immortalized in an iconic snapshot by photographer Alberto Korda in 1961, seem to epitomize the youthful idealism of revolution, rebellion and free-spiritedness.

Great pic (hee, hee, hee!!!). It is ironic that the nation that offed this Marxist scumbag is now Marxist itself. BTW, I understand that Che revealed he was nothing but a whimpering punk, who pleaded with his captors to not execute him following his capture. “I have useful information,” he said. The Bolivians were unimpressed, and summarily popped this maggot.
Now that pic would make an excellent t-shirt image!!!!!.
The bit about Alan Colmes at the end of the article explains a lot about Alan Colmes.
Sorry, I’ll put more next time, I was in a hurry.

I was in Tuxpan, Mexico less than 10 years ago and toured the compound where Castro, Che and their group lived and plotted to overthrow Batista.
Wish I could find my pictures as the walls were covered with photos of them. They departed for Cuba in in 1956 along with 80 others in a cabin cruiser called the Granma.
Tuxpan is halfway between Tampico and Veracruz.
This link has pictures taken by SOMEONE ELSE, wish there were more there.

Interesting

I had a college friend whose parents lived in Havana - Oil company exec I think
We drove south when spring break hit and he fly to Cuba just in time to encounter Castro’s goons at road blocks
He had several close shaves as Gringos were not welcomed by the goons
.
Now the US Congress has these Commie goons running hearings

Yep and the Hollywood dimwits want to make heros of people like Che!
It was an interesting trip for me, a part of history and it made an impression.
I probably have more video than photos.
Which one is Felix Rodriguez? Great photo, never seen it before.
Back then we had a CIA that took care of business.
The would have offed Hugo Chavez 10 years ago
Felix Rodriguez aka Maximo Gomez was Jack Bauer before Jack Bauer was cool.
Forgot to comment on your very interesting photograph Phil. Those type of photos covered the walls of the compound they once stayed in.
They were a motley looking bunch, lol. That might be too kind of a word!
That dude plays soccer? He looks like George Lopez and Larry the Cable Guy had a kid...
You dont know how many fights Ive been in with people wearing Che t shirts. I ALWAYS open up my big mouth and start in on them. Somebody has to tell the truth >
True. I went after some dumb ass kids who told me “he rages against the machine bro “. Typical punks, zero education in history.
Look at Warhol’s Mao exhibit to understand the Che phenom. Same thing done much smarter.
No problemo. I was in a mood, etc..
Happy FReeping!
