Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, June 06, 2008

Aleida Guevara this week denounced the commercialisation of her father's image as an affront to his socialist ideals. "Something that bothers me now is the appropriation of the figure of Che that has been used to make enemies from different classes. It's embarrassing." A man who fought and died trying to overthrow capitalism and material excess should not be used to sell British vodka, French fizzy drinks and Swiss mobile phones, among other travesties, she said. "We don't want money, we demand respect."

Why am I not surprised

and when you see some punk with his face on thier shirt ask them if they know anything about this murdering scum of the earth and they will have no idea just how many people died at his hands or were put into chains and at the very least kept poor from the yoke of a system THAT HAS NEVER WORKED.
hell I bet a lot of them dont even know his friggin name.

CLICHE GUEVERA

Viva Che!!

Ernesto--murdered by cia--hated amerikkka but didn't really murder. A better speller than bushfucker no doubt. truly a hero to much of the world but only caught on here as an icon.

Aleida-

Wipe your mouth--there is a bit of bullshit around your lips--same as your Dad...

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Signed

Murphy

Che had a vision of a just society, where even the poorest peasant could rise. Coming within the context of impoverished South America, this was a powerful vision. Unfortunately, it's basis in Communist thought doomed it to failure and tragedy for the many people caught up in the struggle.

Yeah we have immigrants here in the evil capitalistic America.

And many have risen --including the poorest--with hard work and many many without a handout.

The problem with folks like this is that they think , "If only I was the Dictator--everything would be different".

Kinda' like Obama--except he wants to expand the gov't--anti-capitalism to the tee...

Aleida-

Please don't murder any capitalist pigs
for displaying your scumbag Dad's photo.

Here is the Obama plan--

--Anything to expand the gov't is a liberal left of center commentary--
--ie Universal Health Care
--Redistribution of wealth
--Higher taxes to expand the gov't programs
--ie Universal Pre School for ages 3-4 to attend
--Gun control--one of the worse ratings
--Personal freedon decreased--because higher taxes means you can't do shit anymore.
--Tax Oil company profits--after they already paid taxes
--Tax other Company profits after they already paid taxes
--Illegal immigrants can have driver licenses--OPEN BORDERS
--SCOTUS judges to the far far left--
--Partial Birth Abortion--he voted against the Baby Protection Bill while in IL--so he is for infantcide.
--Reparations for blacks
--Appeasement on Foreign Policy
--He just flipped flopped after talking with AIPAC and how he was all for One Jerusalem--the Palestinians got all pissed off and now he is back tracking.
--Class Warfare

He is the same as Che-baby..

Che was radicalised by the poverty and inequity he saw in Central and South America.

A lot of that inequity came about due to greedy American policy in the "Southern Cone".

That's the part the papers always leave out.

He was murdered by the CIA for trying to export his revolution.

Spud has more respect fer Dr Guevera than he does fer the asswipes who liquidated him.

The famly are right to note the irony and humiliation of seeing their family member exploited by the very forces he opposed in life.

Spud is look forward to the upcoming Soderberg production of "Che" starring Benicio Del Torres.

Should be good.

Be Well.

/Okay REALLY gone now.
Promise!

He was murdered by the CIA for trying to export his revolution--Spud

Good for our CIA--tax dollars going for something right!

So yahoos--point out something from my list that does not compare to Obama and Che?--

Its pretty ironic Che is an ICON of the left, and democrats love the guy.

unbelievable.

Oh, BTW, Dethspud, fuck you, please go fall off a cliff. thank you.

kuma,
I have said that for a long time. its amazing the heroes of the left...
chavez
castro
this murderer.........and they all have one thing in common....socialism and THATS why we have to keep them from the white house.

Don't try to make this the fault of the US. This guy was a murdering thug. His mis-guided choice. No one forced him to kill people.

"He is the same as Che-baby.."

Such an idiot.

You know what would really suck? 40 years from now idiots wearing a GW t-shirt.

Alright, so listen up class, George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Adams = all around good Joes. Some may even go so far as to call them patriots, heros even. Che Guevara = "murdering scum." Where is the logic?

Pretty safe bet that the folks Che killed were not nice folks. In the US we have been indoctrinated thoroughly about Communism but we have lived in a wealthy country and haven't starved. I believe we would all oppose Communism here. It is a completely different thing to view it from the perspective of a poor peasant in a nation where peasants have been brutalized, murdered, ignored, impoverished, etcl for centuries. If you notice nations that became Communist were generally all throwing out corrupt dictatorships and thus it is not surprising they believe in a completely opposite system. When things stabilize, when people are fed again, in school again, most of these countries return to capitalism on their own with only economics as the force causing that shift. Our CIA committed murder, torture, and just about everything under the sun and there is no excuse. One day we will rid ourselves of cynical, corporate profit first thugs from government forever.

Why bother commenting? The morons will continue to live in idiocy. You know who you are.

By the way, those of you who are calling Che a murderer, tell us who he murdered.
You don't know and you don't care. You spout off bullshit to support your agenda.

So yahoos--point out something from my list that does not compare to Obama and Che?--

So pinhead, point out something from your list that is anywhere near as evil as the countless things corporations have pulled in this country and others to screw over and kill working people.

Its pretty ironic Che is an ICON of the left, and democrats love the guy.

unbelievable.

Oh, BTW, Dethspud, fuck you, please go fall off a cliff. thank you.

Why is that ironic? Do you even know what 'ironic' means? Doubtful.
No substance whatsoever in your commentary. Not surprising.
