Hollywood golden boy Benicio del Toro smacked down for praising Che (T)

......exposed the vaunted actor as a jackass. Here he was, yelling about Trump on 'humanitarian' grounds, while expressing no concern about the Cuban 'revolutionary' and his record of mass murder as one of Cuba's most bloodthirsty and soulless rulers. The guy had no heart, no compassion, just model-worthy looks, and that was based on just one glossy photo by Albert Korda, which appeared to romanticize the thug. Fontova, who has written more than one good book on the scope of Guevara and his crimes, makes an appropriate comparison to show the depth of the hypocrisy.

Che killed people and he didn't just kill people, he took pleasure in killing people. He particularly got his rocks off on the idea of killing Americans and actually planned the first 9/11 with a black guerrilla militant group, plotting to blow up the New York subways at stations below Macy's and Bloomingdales on Black Friday shopping day, the better to maximize the casualties. The plot was foiled by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, as Fontova noted in his book. This was not a nice person, let alone a romantic one, this guy had more in common with MS-13 and Hugo Chavez than he ever did with any "better world." The Cuban exiles Fontova interviewed said they knew there was something 'off' about the communist.

and the wonderful heroic Che had a wall knocked out of his office and a window installed so he could watch the executions ... 268,000 or close to that murdered by Che.

I saw that, too..!

Richly satisfying.

Lefties love so much, this notion that Che was this poor, keep-it-real, ethnic who loved poor people.

RIDICULOUS!

So he might be a distant relative of Beto?

They believe they will be the shooters, and usually always end up being the shootees.

Worth Reading Your post again,

Che the Racists’ racist.

I cringe when I see his “T” shirt.

I want to type it again, updating it with two more details I didn't know before today:

Che's grandparents were successful Irish-American yacht builders by the family name Lynch, and they were from Imperial Beach, California, near San Diego.

You have a link

I can’t find it

His Irish family line Lynch were in Shipping on the River Plate

I don’t see American ancestors

I’ve read a lot on Ché

Starting with his war journal which frankly was an interesting read admittedly

I was friends in Miami with 2506 people including several still active and one executed in the early 90s so I was under no illusion about Guevara but no question what a wild life

He was pretty doctrinaire Marxist

Che’s grandparents were from California:

Paragraph 2 from the link below

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/companero.htm?noredirect=on

Apparently they were first in shipping in Ireland, then got into yacht building.

Because Argentina long ago was known as the up-and-comer nation expected to grow very rich, they moved the biz to Argentina, after which Che’s liberal dad ran it into the ground.

There was still enough wealth left, though, for them to purchase a ranch in order to grow Yerba Mate, an herb yielding a stimulating tea.

But again, like a liberal, Che’s dad managed to run that into the ground, also.

So Che ended up sort of middle-class, instead of rich, had his father hadn’t been so incompetant.

In Argentina there were Euros sympathetic to Hitler during the war. They’d get together in Che’s town and listen on the radio to Hitler stuff:

Che’s liberal, biz-bungling dad climbed up on the roof of the building where they gathered to do that and destroyed the antenna.

He also slashed all their tires before making his getaway.
