David Greco, cofounder and executive director of ARTE Inc., said Wednesday he’s confident police will be able to identify the individual who vandalized one of the organization’s “Heroes & Icons” posters at City Hall earlier this week.
The unidentified vandal scrawled the word “asesino,” the Spanish word for “murderer,” in black ink atop the shoulder of the Argentine Marxist-Leninist revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
Greco said a police report has been filed and City Hall security personnel are reviewing surveillance camera footage. The exhibit, which went up Sept. 22 to honor Hispanic History Month, includes approximately 40 posters depicting Latino historical figures.
“We’ve heard from a few people who complained about the Guevara poster,” Greco said. “But this exhibit is not just for heroes. It’s also for icons.”

They should’ve wrote it over his forehead.
Che’s an “Icon” to liberals in New Haven maybe. The whole idea of cultural and racial pandering in exhibits is disgusting. The last time I went to a museum to see an exhibit of art it was all gender this, marxist that, and race, race, race.
Wasn’t Hitler an icon?
Why wasn’t he next to Che?
How about Uncle Joe Stalin, too?
Millions of dead celebrate diversity along with New Haven. /s
The 1917 revolution was not just Marxists. It was a general uprising and there was a moment when it looked like Russia could have become a democratic nation.
Does anyone in that town wonder what the hell it was doing there in the first place???
Scribbles on a piece of paper? And just how is this news?
My destroyed mail box doesn’t make national news. And the destruction is a federal offense.
After searching for years we have finally located Belly Girl!! (The midriff-baring chick seen at pro-US rallies when we went into Iraq in 2003)
Anyway, this Che thread is not complete without the January 1972 National Lampoon cover: “Is Nothing Sacred?”
For you youngsters, it depicts a cream pie smashed into the face of the iconic Che poster.
And you know they’ll just start to eye the month next to them.

To my mind... any “vandal” that helps “decorate” an image of this dead commie POS is a hero and icon.
But still... this doesn’t come close to the statue of Lenin with the blown-out ass, from a few years ago!!!
Now, THAT’S art!
Inconceivable!
I would bet the hard core Stalinist ones do, and are ready to follow his footsteps. Billy the Bomber Ayers anyone?
The Left keys our cars when they don’t like a bumper sticker. This is just the natural escalation of the current Cold Civil War. And it will eventually go hot.
Vandalized? It sounds like someone simply labeled it properly

I like this one. http://lampoon.rwinters.com/NL233-Dec1991.jpg
I'd like to have a collection of every issue on CD, like they did with the Gun Digest. Between S. Gross and Rodriguez, their cartoons reminded us it's a sick, sad world out there so you might as well have a few laughs.
Heh, heh! Thanks! Adds much to this thread.
Only that forty years later there are now generations of “los estupidos” who still think Che was hot s***. Like the museum staff who want the “asesino” scribbler punished.
Or like those Harvard nincompoops whom someone interviewed last week. Our future ruling elite....
