"There is something wrong with a society in which people wear shirts with the image of someone who preached hatred and enjoyed killing," Armando Alvarez, a Cuban exile who now resides in West New York, told the paper.

As far as the left is concerned, as long as he didn't put panties on anybody's head, there's no problem.

--yes--a cold-blooded killer who was also one of the world's worst military strategists---

To the Left, a mass murderer is no big deal. Even better if he was a Communist thug.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

"As far as the left is concerned, as long as he didn't put panties on anybody's head, there's no problem."

They don't have any problem with killing people, either, provided that they are innocent, law-abiding civilians who might disagree with them politically.

This lie of the idealistic revolutionary is more than forty years old. There is a group of aging former left-wingers in this country who will keep expounding the same fantasies they believed in the 60's until they draw their last breath. It's long past time reality caught up with these old fakers.

Personally, I like this Che "fashion"...

I bought a "commies aren't cool" t-shirt which has the standard socialist realism face of 'Che' with a circle and a slash through it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be holding up very well in the wash.

It's ridiculous enough when naive college kids wear this leftist crap. They aren't into doing due dilligence on history. But its the ones like Churchill and the ones over 25 that I can't figure out. I guess they get off on all the adulation of the young chickies and moron 20something wannabee revolutionary guys.

I remember when the college students all were wearing those Trotsky glasses and protesting. How ridiculous. didn't they know that Stalin had had Trotsky killed? I think they are on a pseudo Hemmingway trip about "revolution".

I see little punks wearing his "gear" all the way up here in Cow Town. I RELISH the opportunity to educate them at every opportunity. Idiots!

As we all know, there is a legal concept called fighting words, meaning that if you call a black person the N-word, their punching you in the mouth may be justified. What if a Cuban-American, or someone who grew up in the Soviet Bloc, or anybody else who suffered horribly due to the countless crimes against humanity commited by leftists, were to beat the hell out of one of these morons with the che shirts? Would it be legally defensible?

[Borges]

Trotskyite Profs. are actually still very common on College Campuses. They think Stalin corrupted Communism and if Trotsky had come to power it would have flourished.

[dandi]

Che, Castro, Stalin, Chavez. The Left loves all the murderers as long as they promise the masses a chicken in every pot.

[Cyclopean Squid]

I bought a shirt that had a picture of Lenin of the front, along with golden arches, and it read "McLenin's." On the back it had a crumbling hammer and sickle with the words, "The Party is Over." After 1 trip in the wash, it shrunk to comically-small proportions.

[mattdono]

Would it be legally defensible?

Well, I certainly wouldn't have a problem with it. If I were on a jury, I would be voting not guilty for certain.

Once again, I'll weigh in on "Comrade Che`".

He was nothing less than the coldblooded murdering thug as described by those who were there.

He craved status as a 20th century Simon Bolivar, uniting all of Latin America in a "Socialist Worker's Paradise", (with him and his cronies in charge, of course), and tried to export Cuban style revolution throughout South and Central America.

Sadly, some of the malignant seeds sown by him and his cronies led to problems in Nicaragua and El Salvador in the 70's and 80's, and to a degree are continuing in Chiapas and Guatemala to this day, and have resulted in the deaths of thousands of people on both sides.

What he got for all of his efforts was turned in by the very Bolivian Camposinos he pretended to fight for.

When he was wounded and captured, he begged Carlos Rodriguez (CIA) for his life, pleading that he was worth more "alive than dead". The rumors that he died a "hero's death" are a joke.

He was as wrong about that as he was in everything else in his life, because his image has far outlived any utility he would have served in life. I have personally met and spoken to a retired Green Beret who was there, and has the photos to prove it. Guevara died just as he lived, as a coward.

It is somewhat pleasantly ironic that modern-day capitalists are making money selling his image to psuedointellictuals and other political "in-sophisticates" in trendy Manhattan shoppes.

I think a line of t-shirts w/his image in a set of mil-spec crosshairs, or in a circle with a line through it (euro-fag "NO" symbol) would sell pretty well also.
