Why are you surprised with the fascination with Che. Many people have a fascination with Hitler and some are fascinated with the devil.

You are correct in your assertion. However, the general public derides individuals and groups with these fascinations, especially Hitler. Anyone wearing a Hitler tshirt in public would be scorned. The left is held to a different standard. The general public never questions those who worship leftist mass murders like Che.

Hitler was a leftist mass murderer.

Hitler was a leftist mass murderer.

He certainly was a leftist mass murderer, but he is perceived as right-wing by the confused public and media. In his economic philosophy, Hitler seems quite aligned with our rat party. Hitler never denied the existence of private property. He just wanted to exercise effective control. Hitler was also quite good at class warfare. I have never understood Hitler's hatred of the communists. Perhaps it was more of a rivalry than abhorrence to the commie ideals.

The great irony is that Hitler was a man of the Left; he lived and died believing that he was a socialist.

Down town Manhattan on the east side is a building named Red Square. On the roof that you can see from the street is a statue of V. I. Lenin.

Lenin himself published pamphlets instructing his followers how to murder police. One particularly gruesome pamphlet involved the use of acid as a murder weapon.

Mass murderer Che statue placement in Central Park makes as much sense as a Hitler statue in Jerusalem.

Cuban and Venezuelan Communist thugs open a worshipful statue of the new god Che in Caracas, Venezuela:

The Venezuelan people give their opinion of their mass murderer new god at 3AM. The next day....

Gives a whole new meaning to the famous quote from Duke Nukem.

Full disclosure.....

The statue will be temporarily displayed at the SE entrance to the park, across the street from the Plaza Hotel. If it were to be a permanent addition to the park itself I promise you that I personally would not let it stand.

I would make a 04:00, mid-week, cold, rainy February visit. I do know how to use the shadows.

It is not central Park. The statue travels the world. It will be placed at the SE entrance for a short while only.

From the first link above: UPDATE: Apparently, the sculpture is not intended to depict Che Guevara, but rather a street performer dressed as Che Guevara. Which I’m sure makes all the difference in the world to the families of Che’s victims.

Aaaah, makes it all nice, no? I'm not one to spit, but if I ever feel the need, I now know a good spot. I wonder what it would take to get a permit to have a porta-potty installed next to the 'art'...

Ugh, that’s disturbing. I could have lived quite well without knowing that, but it’s good to know, thanks. That murderous ba$7ard gets a statue in commie Seattle. It’s disgusting.

Maybe The Sock Puppet will praise the construction of this statue in his first State of the Union. He should also mention that college campus with the statue of Lenin.
