Che Guevara, the chief executioner of Fidel Castro’s brutal revolution, was a bank robber, a cold-blooded murderer, an enthusiastic torturer and generally an evil, sociopathic bastard. He’s quite literally the poster boy for everything wrong with socialism.
One of Che’s lauded diaries recalls the execution of a suspected counterrevolutionary:
“I ended the problem with a .32 caliber pistol, in the right side of his brain…. His belongings were now mine.”
Kooky economic theories, class warfare and forced redistribution of wealth — it’s not just a Cuban phenomenon. The revolution has finally spread to the brand new Barack Obama office right here in the Bayou City.
If you were running a candidate’s local campaign office, what would you put on the wall? Old Glory? The Texas flag? Or maybe the banner of a hostile Communist police state?
Fox has the video.
“The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign.”
Who is Charles?
Ugh, see comment #424 on that LGF link:

***”That disclaimer was not there when I first visited the page. And the narrator of the video says “paid staffers are expected to man the offices by the end of the week.”***
Obama, you slimy b@#*@^d.
BTW, Charles (Charles Johnson) is the guy who created and runs LGF. Its a great site and worth following.
LOL!!!!
Sorry, I am not good with names. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Go Footballs!
Soros also partially funds John Mclaim with the Tides Foundation and the Rockerfellers.. Reds even more deeply covert..
Oh good grief! They’ll put up anything that looks cool - and for some stupid reason people thing Che is cool. To me it’s like running around with a pic of OBL on your shirt. He’s the same kind of psychotic creep! You’d think the Obama Hussein crowd would at least keep it in check until they’ve gotten the nomination.
Not surprised.
Good point... but either way, you can read a lot about someone by the company they keep, especially if they don't even care to confront their less than desirable associates about this, and other issues.
I saw a picture of Hilary at one of her campaign events. A little behind her was a girl in a Che t-shirt. The hard left in America seem to idolize this man.
Watching these Democrats going nuts over Obama is a sight to behold. They get all worked up over his saying NOTHING beautifully. Democrats are easily pleased.
That looks Photoshopped.
If it is, “more accurate” is pretty much the last thing I’d call it.

Grow a lousy beard, don’t cut your hair, commit mass murder, wreck an economy, and you too can be on the silver screen.
Leftists worldwide mourned the Argentine Ernesto “Che” Guevara after his execution in October 1967 following a failed attempt to communize Bolivia. Historian and journalist Erik Durschmied notes:
(R)allies were held from Mexico to Santiago, Algiers to Angola, Cairo to Calcutta. The population of Budapest and Prague lit candles; the picture of a smiling Che appeared in London and Paris…when a few months later, riots broker out in Berlin, Paris, and Chicago, and from there the unrest spread to the American campuses, young men and women wore Che Guevara T-shirts and carried his pictures during their protest marches.
Guevara’s image remains widespread. While in Tel Aviv last year, at least twice I saw people with Guevara t-shirts. He has also appeared throughout Haiti’s largest slum thanks to one of former tyrant Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s thugs.
It was just a matter of time before Hollywood celebrated Guevara, which already has a long history of affection for Fidel Castro.
Benicio Del Toro will play Guevara in Terrence Malick’s Che, set to begin production in July and co-starring Javier Bardem, who played the persecuted Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas in 2000’s Before Night Falls. Malick has been reported as also writing the script, which focuses on Guevara’s final years.
Robert Redford’s production, The Motorcycle Diaries, adapts Guevara journal of his travels through Latin America in his 20s and stars Gael García Bernal, a popular Mexican actor who also played Guevara in the Showtime miniseries Fidel. García Bernal has said of Guevara, “He’s a person that changed the world and really forces me to change the rules of what I am.” Redford met with Castro in January and screened the movie for Guevara’s relatives, whose widow called it “excellent.”
Guevara’s adaptation, though, will likely be characterized less by revelation than romanticism—no trivial difference given his savage sympathies and deeds.
In David Mamet’s House of Games, a con man refers to a “tell” or indicator of someone’s character. Guevara showed such indicators well before he caused so much havoc in Cuba, as part of Fidel Castro’s regime.
In December 1953, the 25-year-old Guevara was in Costa Rica. He wrote to his aunt from San José after seeing the United Fruit Company’s holdings in Costa Rica, “I have sworn before a picture of our old, much lamented comrade Stalin [who died in March] that I will not rest until I see these capitalist octopuses annihilated.” Guevara’s travel journal includes this passage:
I now feel my dilated nostrils, savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood, of enemy death; I now tense my body, ready for the struggle, and I prepare my being as a sacred place so that in it resounds with new vibrations and new hopes the bestial howl of the triumphant proletariat.
He likewise wrote to a friend in December 1957, “Because of my ideological background, I belong to those who believe that the solution of the world’s problems lies behind the so-called iron curtain....” By the middle of that year, Guevara had met the Castro brothers in Mexico City and was a comandante in their military campaign to overthrow Fulgencio Batista.
In October 1958, Guevara ordered rebel coordinator Enrique Oltuski to rob banks to finance operations. Oltuski refused, and Guevara wrote in his diary, “When I told him to give us a report of all the banks in the towns, to attack them and take their money, they threw themselves on the ground in anguish.”
When a boy in Guevara’s forces stole some food, however, he ordered him shot. Guevara also personally executed a peasant named Eutimio Guerra who informed on the rebels and described the act in his diary:
I ended the problem giving him a shot with a .32 pistol in the right side of the brain, with exit orifice in the right temporal. He gasped for a little while and was dead. Upon proceeding to remove his belongings I couldn’t get off the watch tied by a chain to his belt, and then he told me in a steady voice farther away than fear: “Yank it off, boy, what does it matter…” I did so and his possessions were now mine.
Accordingly, Guevara became “supreme prosecutor” at Havana’s La Cabaña fortress after Batista fled Cuba. Here he presided over hundreds of executions in proceedings that even a sympathetic biographer notes “were carried out without respect for due process.”
“Individualism,” Guevara told a group in August 1960, “tomorrow should be the proper utilization of the whole individual at the —— benefit of the community.”
This was a far cry from Cuban founding father José Martí, who wrote, “Respect for freedom and for the ideas of others, of even the most wretched being, is my fanaticism.”
As would befit a Stalinist, Guevara pioneered Cuba’s gulag system. Socialist scholar Samuel Farber notes:
Clearly, Che Guevara played a key role in inaugurating a tradition of arbitrary administrative, non-judicial detentions, later used in the UMAP [Military Units to Aid Production] camps for the confinement of dissidents and social “deviants”: homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, practitioners of secret Afro-Cuban religions such as Abakua, and non-political rebels. In the ‘80s and ‘90s this non-judicial, forced confinement was also applied to AIDS victims.
The first of these camps was in Guanahacabibes, “at the remote, rocky, and devilishly hot westernmost tip of Cuba.” Guevara spoke of those sent there as “people who have committed crimes against revolutionary morals.”
Add to this Guevara’s efforts to wreck other countries and the economic devastation he promoted while head of Cuba’s National Bank. Farber observes, “Guevara’s collectivism was pure, unadulterated Stalinism.”
Herbert Matthews, who glamorized Castro before 1959 in The New York Times, referred to Guevara as “a firm believer in maximum centralization.”
Vladimir Nabokov once described his sentiment for the Soviet Union as “healthy contempt.” Ernesto Guevara, an architect of atrocity, subjugation, and ruin, deserves nothing less.
Robert Redford’s a chump.
And that rhymes with bump.
Walter Duranty of the NYT glamorizes the USSR.
Do we see a pattern?
OBAMA, RADICAL MENTOR SAUL ALINSKY, AND MARXIST LIBERATION THEOLOGY
There is quite a connection between Obama and the Industrial Areas Foundation, a radical organization located in Chicago (Obama’s turf) and the ideological heir of Saul Alinsky, a notorious revolutionary who dedicated his mail work (Rules for Rebels) to Satan.
Obama’s mentor Saul Alinsky began his book Rules for Radicals:
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
All you need to do is enter in Google first, “Obama”, then “IAF”. Check around and you will be surprised.
The radical Marxist, Saul Alinsky, was the mentor of both, Hillary and Obama and his book, “Rules for Radicals” is the bible for radicals as the “Mein Kampf ‘ was for the Nazis. As a matter of fact, Hillary based her graduation thesis on Alinsky’s works.
Pope Benedict XVI, who as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , spearheaded the fight of Pope John Paul II against the infiltration of the Church by the Marxists through the so called “Liberation Theology”, writing in “ Truth and Tolerance” of the fall of the Soviet Union stated clearly his stand on the “Liberation Theology”:
“...where the Marxist ideology of liberation had been consistently applied, a total lack of freedom had developed, whose horrors were now laid bare before the eyes of the entire world. Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.”
For Alinsky and his disciples:
“ There are no rules for revolution any more than there are rules for love or rules for happiness, but there are rules for radicals who want to change their world”
“ Whatever Obama’s concrete plans are, they ought to aligned with his political mentor, Saul Alinsky, and his spiritual mentor and liberation theology specialist, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.”
“ All this is in addition to Obama’s long-term membership in an exclusively African-American church, affiliated with the United Church of Christ, founded on the teachings of Black Liberation Theology, a Marxist ideology that incorporates racist concepts.”
“ Based on his record, we could expect most of the following:
-More funding of Planned Parenthood.
-Socialist medicine including abortion, pills for teens, etc., for free!
-More explicit sex ed in high school. Eventually in junior high!!
-ACLU-type removal of evidences of America’s Christian heritage.
-Same sex marriage. Pressure put on more companies and churches either to stop opposing homosexuality, or to actively support or endorse it.
-Socialist equalizing of people’s incomes—or at least lots of little attempts to move things even more in that direction.
-Screws turned on home schools, Christian schools and private schools in general.
-Jihadists around the world will see his election as a green light to pick up their tempo. (This may be the least likely outcome of any on the list. But still fairly likely.)”
“ If that sounds extreme, consider that not only did Obama and Clinton oppose Alito—pretty much all the Dems did—but he also opposed Roberts and filibustered Alito. So even a mild judicial conservative, which is what Alito and Roberts are, is intolerable to Obama. He only wants judges who will continue the court-led deconstruction of American society!”
There is need for someone with the right skills and time to work on uncovering what is really behind Obama who, for all we know, might become President of the United States. At least our people have the right to know who they are voting for.
