Che Guevara: racist, murderer, terrorist, homophobe  

"The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have conserved their racial purity by a lack of affinity with washing, have seen their patch invaded by a different kind of slave: The Portuguese.... the black is indolent and fanciful, he spends his money on frivolity and drink; the European comes from a tradition of working and saving which follows him to this corner of America and drives him to get ahead." ~Ernesto "Che" Guevara

Yesterday, on Beck's program, he began exposing the myths about Communist leaders. I already knew most of what he told people, as my maternal grandfather was an avowed anti-Communist, & frequently spoke against it at length.

But as bad as I know Communism (& Communism "lite"--Socialism) is, Glenn managed to open my eyes to how much worse Guevara was than even I had known. I already knew, thanks to Granddaddy, pretty much what a bunch of lying, bloodthirsty killers Communists are, & Glenn--love him or loathe him--had done his homework, complete with clips from experts on the history of that evil movement, & documentation of the same. (Just a note: I did not get that quote from Glenn's program, but from a site run by black people online, whose aim is also to stop the myths about Guevara--& theirs isn't the sole site like it, either.)

How many black people (think Danny Glover, who thinks global warming caused the earthquakes in Haiti, or Jesse Jackson. the "reverend" who has no congregation, or Harry Belafonte, & on & on...) who praise this man, knew he said the above (& worse) about them? How many of his gay supporters know he jailed homosexuals, or had them shot? How many are aware that he said he liked to kill, that "blind hatred" of the enemy made for the best soldiers, & that he wanted "to become the perfect, cold-blooded killing machine?"

How many of them know that Castro continues to oppress black Cubans, as Guevara did, & that many of them are homeless & very hungry?

Yet today, people everywhere have bought into the sanitized lies that Guevara was a saintly, "for-the-people," "freedom fighter," & proudly wear his face on every item one can wear, as well as hang posters of him (& buy a gazillion other related things), believing he was a "humanitarian," just out to "help the people of Cuba!"

It's time to build an enormous bonfire & burn those clothes! Rip down those posters, & toss them into the fire! Destroy the lies, the way Guevara's victims' families, mere days after Castro had a monument to erected to honor the (self-called!) beast, utterly destroyed it!

I know I'm sick of seeing his face all over the place! I'm sick of the ignorance on parade about him, & Communist leaders in general!

Thanks, Granddaddy. This one's for you.
