You know what, Wordsmith? It wouldn't surprise me if Hollywood made a film honoring Satan himself! This is... well... words fail me. I can tell you that I have no intention of watching this pos film. I can't imagine what goes on in the heads of people who idolize cretins like this!
Word, On the post I did about the George Soros funded collectivist anti war protest in Washington DC a few weeks ago I had a picture of a hand made poster that someone on our side had made. It was a skull with the Che Beret on it and below it said "Che is dead, get over it". At that time the adrenaline was pumping real fine and I thought I could improve on the poster to stand at the barricades to register my extreme displeasure with the anti war protester's activities. My poster on that day, at that time would have read "Che is dead, I wish you were too".
Since then though my adrenaline has gone back to normal levels and I can see how wrong that type of thinking is. The same people I targeted for my ire that day though still have the same admiration for a man that could never see how wrong it is to want people dead just because they disagree with your political beliefs.
THANK YOU. The lack of education especially in the younger generations concerning who, what and why Che even entered the world stage during the , "Cuban Revolution, " is staggering in how this guy has been idolized by people who have no idea what he stood for or how many he either personally killed or his actions assisted in killing.
Killer and Thug is right on the mark. Over-rated only because of the ignorance of younger genreations to history and the willing teaching of liberals in the schools about the truth of thugs like Che.
gayle,
I forgot that there is a movie coming out. I only posted because this is the (40th?) anniversary of his physical demise.
jennifer,
You just gave me the title of this post. Thanks. I remember seeing that sign.
Your last paragraph reminds me of yesterday's Michael Medved. He was taking Springsteen to task (I'm actually a Springsteen fan- of his music, that is). Before his current album release, he did an album of Pete Seger music. Medved mentioned that Seger's in his 80's, and apparently in the twilight of his years now, admits that maybe Stalin wasn't such a great guy after all. This is a lifelong socialist, finally seeing the light.
Ken,
My "Over-Rated Killer and Thug" title is now replaced.
It is indeed disturbing how many of our young people wear the Che shirt like a hip fad without understanding what he truly was and represents.
Click on the photo for the cure to Che-worship.
Word,
Great Post.
Gayle said it all I dont have anything to add after that :-)
Gayle: my wife (who is Mexican) said her grandmother met Che. And one day I spoke to my wife's mom before she passed away, and she said, darn near word for word: "MY mother said Guevara was an asshole."

And yes, I laughed like hell.

BZ's wife's grandmother was evidently a smart woman! :)
I was thinking I might use that middle photo for target practice. But on reflection, which would be the target?
I guess that's what I'd call a "target rich" environment.
BTW, Is that the only shirt Chavez ownes is that red one?
I never see him in anything but a red Shirt and it's driving me nuts!
Marie: think what all the others around him must think about that cloying smell!
BZ
I want that saying on a bumper sticker!!
Mike, I had similar thoughts on seeing that picture. Traitor, although not the first time we've all thought that.
