Che Gueverra
I went to the liquor store tonite. I was wearing a Che Gueverra shirt. As soon as I walked in the store the guy at the counter shouted " You have a commie on your shirt." I got what I was after and proceeded to the counter. He then said, " You know he murdered people don't you." I said "One mans commie is another mans hero." I then said I considered him a hero to his people and he continued to spout off rather loudly a bunch of shit.
When I was leaving he said, "Have a good night Commrade." I said "Dosvadania" as I walked out. Everything I have read on Che Gueverra tells me he was a hero, a man among men, and someone we should all appreciate. I know that is how I feel about him. He helped liberate Cuba from American capitalist control and fought for the impoverished people of Latin America until he was ruthlessly killed by the U.S. because he was a threat to U.S. capitalism and U.S. interest(read cheap labor for American companies in Latin America) I kinda think that he had it right and I am not ashamed to wear a shirt with his face on it. What do you think?
I think this primitive's a mole.
Anyway.
It's a very long thread, the primitives squibble-squabbling about Che.

14. He had many under his command executed and was feared by his soldiers.
Now that Doug's ex-wife relinquished her old screen-name, the stupidest screen-name on the whole internet, we have a new stupidest screen-name:

76. I just wonder if we have the moral authority to to talk about justice when we don't even prosecute those responsible for Guantanamo or the Iran-Contra deal.

109. I didn't give up my rights to speak out just because my government committed criminal act. That's just beyond stupid to suggest such a thing.
And now Doug's ex-wife, about 40% of the way through the big bonfire:

18. Had Che fought for US, there would be statues of him all over the country.

42. I don't think I've ever used the word hero or patriot to describe another person.

110. baloney. you may not use the word but you can't tolerate even the mildest
criticism of any of your SA idols. Ever. Your sycophancy is hardly a secret. You're so predictable as to be a cariacture.

44. What does that say about us, then, that we trail Cuba in so many social aspects?
Maybe Che should have liberated us.

112. Comparing Cuba to the U.S, is rather silly and don't forget that in reality, though not in the minds of the idolizers, Cuba has a mixed record when it comes to "social aspects:". But never mind reality.

82. Hmmm, people I know who admire Che Guevara tend to spell his name correctly.
Uh-huh. That's why I suspect the primitive who lit this bonfire's a mole.
Anyway, it's well worth seeing the whole bonfire in its entirety; besides Doug's ex-wife, there's also Judi Lynn with family photographs of the homocidal maniac, and the Billy Burnett primitive, whose unemployed son makes a fortune off of blackjack.
It's really surprising that there's so many primitives who don't admire Che; that's so, uh, peculiar, like when one finds a primitive who doesn't admire Robert Mugabe.
