Che Guevara: An emblem of freedom?

By Humberto Fontova

The Daily Caller

Let’s excuse our intrepid “watchdog” MSM. They’re too busy rummaging through Sarah Palin’s garbage to report on the actual sayings and doings by our actual government officials. So here’s a report from Britain’s Guardian on a speech by Alec Ross, the U.S. State Department’s senior advisor on innovation: “Dictatorships are now more vulnerable than they have ever been before,” he proclaimed at the Innovate Conference in London this week. “One thesis statement I want to emphasize is how networks [the Internet] disrupt the exercise of power … because of the devolution of power from the nation state to the individual…the Internet has become the Che Guevara of 21st century.”

Imagine the MSM snarkiness and uproar if somewhere in Sarah Palin’s e-mail garbage bins they scrounged up an item where she equates Internet freedom with the co-founder of the regime that Freedom House rates as among the three most repressive on Earth against the Internet, where bloggers were being jailed and tortured for the crime of blogging while she wrote the message. Because, in fact, Cubans were being jailed and tortured for blogging while the U.S. State Department’s senior advisor on “Internet freedom” hailed the Cuban regime’s co-founder as the emblem of Internet freedom.

Imagine the media snarkiness and uproar if Sarah Palin claimed that “dictatorships are now more vulnerable” then equated the co-founder of the most enduring Stalinist dictatorship in modern history with the enemy of dictatorships.

W...T....F?!?!

This Che non sense needs to end. He was a narcissistic jackass and psychopath. He was a incompetent boob who would get lost in the jungle for months. A coward under actual combat. Executioner of hundreds of people just because he could including boys. Even Castro got sick of him. And even fellow revolutionaries hated him and had to flee to the US later to keep from be rounded up by his death squads. Reading stories from people who knew him and intelligence reports he was a CLOWN!

He didn't bathe. Believe it or not hated hippies and rock music with a murderous passion and rounded them up too. Planned to blow up Macy's and other stores in New York City the day after Thanksgiving which would have been like 9 11 in terms of bodies. Wanted to use nuclear missiles on the US so badly even the Soviets thought he could not be trusted.

As for the State Dept. FIRE EVERYONE AND START OVER!. Any resume has anything like "peace studies" on it automatically gets s*** canned.

I don't know what I am more upset about -- his comments about Che or the fact that we are paying for a "senior advisor on innovation."

WTF?

Hey now, Che is/was the ultimate emblem of freedom...you were free from all worldly cares after he put a bullet in your head.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

These bullshit jobs piss me off.  Fire them all!  Cut heads left and right, top to bottom. 

Well, I'm glad this is getting highlighted.  DailyCaller has a pretty good readership.

Remember we had a troll here who worshipped the ground Che walked on?

What Che stood for was just a more-efficient dictatorship (With him in it), not freedom.
