I was reading in an Argentine newspaper today how one of his closest friends stated that if Che would be alive today, he would be a very close friend of Chavez (Venezuela President). I have no doubt in my mind about it either.

Not that I want to disparage anyone's heroes but Che Guevara is not one that should be idolized in history.

Take off that Che shirt and learn a little Cuban history
by RAFAEL SALINAS

Che is like every other leftists Dictator who imprisons and murders anyone that disagrees with him. Regardless of his supposed support of the poor Che is a marxist who summarily executed his rivals.

I do not know why any American (South or North) or U.S. Citizen would support this man and prop him up as a Hero unless they loved a person who overthrew one flawed regime and instituted a much more nefarious one.

I of course realize that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, but
please enlighten me why this man should be honored?

Exposing the Real Che Guevara

Alas, such familiarity seems rare. The most popular version of the Che T-shirt and poster, for instance, sports the slogan "Fight Oppression" under his famous face. This is the face of a man who co-founded a regime that jailed more of its subjects than did Stalin's and murdered more its subjects in its first three years in power than did Hitler's in its first six. In 1959, with the help of Soviet GRU agents, the man celebrated on that T-shirt helped found, train and indoctrinate Cuba's secret police. "Always interrogate your prisoners at night," Che ordered his goons. "A man's resistance is always lower at night." Ref. Source 5
