Why Do people love a mass murder like Che?
Hollywood celebrities, starving pseudo-artists and confused hipster teens wearing around local coffee shops. To all those who decide that you want to be coffee house communist-chic, remember this: When you are wearing a Che T-shirt, you're wearing the same shirt that makes terrorists believe you're just one of the gang. I hope that latte is tasty.
How Che became such a revered superhero of the hard-core left is laughable. First of all, he wasn't even a good revolutionary. He failed in his attempt at world revolution almost as badly as communism has failed in the places it was actually tried.
"This is a history of a failure" is how he himself described his efforts in the Congo. He was killed in Bolivia, trying to fire up another failure of a war. Earlier, he even managed to drop his gun and shoot himself in the face.
But more important than his incompetence is the fact that the man was a mass killer. Hundreds were reportedly executed on his watch, and that doesn't include the deaths incurred in the wars he was constantly trying to start. He described his maniacal lust for war in his writings, saying he savored "the acrid smell of gunpowder and blood of the enemy's death." How this guy is a hero to the anti-war crowd is truly perplexing.
I should also point out what seemingly gets eliminated from the Hollywood movies attempting to glorify him: his bouts with racism. When describing the differences in the strife between "Europeans" and "the black," the supposedly progressive-minded Che wrote, "their different attitudes of life separate them completely: 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."
Ohhhhh, so the "European" is a hard worker while "the black" is a fanciful drunk. Now I understand the difference.
I wonder if that quote would inspire the volunteer office of Barack Obama's Houston supporters to remove their Che flag. After it was spotted on the wall in a local news video, Obama's campaign, far from a haven for right-wing nut jobs, went out of its way to make sure everyone knew that it had nothing to do with the flag and didn't approve of its use. If Che were such a hero, why would that be necessary?
Revisionist history's fusion with fashion sense isn't exactly new, but its popularity seems to be growing. When actress Cameron Diaz showed up in Peru, she thought she had a trendy bag that might garner some jealous stares. People were staring, sure, but for all the wrong reasons.

Glenn Beck to Michelle Obama - "stick to cupcake recipes"
On his show on 5/20/08, the ever-so-intelligent Beck took issue with Obama's recent announcement that his wife is off-limits to attack. The perpetually-pissed-off prick had this to say:
"You know what? Mr. Obama, we the people will ask whatever the hell we want to ask. It is our country, after all. I understand you sticking up for your wife. Nobody wants to take a cheap shot at your wife. But if you don`t want your wife scrutinized, you`ve got to keep her off the campaign trail. Have her talking about cupcake recipes, not your policies."
Oh Glenn. You always know just how to put things. On his show on 5/20/08, the ever-so-intelligent Beck took issue with Obama's recent announcement that his wife is off-limits to a... more -
