Livid has it right here.

The point is:

- The holocaust did happen (The jews...)
- Several other genocides nobody mentions happened
- Fashion industries make that look cool to have a shirt with a murderer's face on it
- Education around the world is fucked up and extremely liberal.

People ask questions like, "Do you think it's fair people don't all get the same thing?" and movies like HOME and any other environmental bullshit to try and shock the child.

Well no people should get what they work for and nothing more. We can't have everybody equal. Equal in front of the law yes but not in terms of property and goods. If you take that aspect away people won't work.
And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.

Che was just a murderer? You could equally say he was a guerilla who successfully overthrew a corrupt and tyranical regime.

JFK said he agreed with their revolution:

"In the matter of the Batista regime, I am in agreement with the first Cuban revolutionaries. That is perfectly clear."

I'm not condoning or condemning here. They replaced one corrupt regime with another. But since there is such a volume of information about what Che was thinking throughout his life - due to his diaries, it seems as though he had good intentions and he wasn't seeking power for himself. He was an idealist fighting for his, not completely unreasonable, beliefs.

Ché killed people through his actions as a guerilla but, unlike many other figures in history, he was almost undeniably a man of conviction who had strong ideals. This is an Argentinian who risked his life to free the people of another country from what he saw as a tyrannical dictator. A man who could have rested on his laurels and took a cosy cabinet position in Castro's regime but instead died in the jungle fighting for what he believed in. A man who made it known that he regarded the Soviet regime to be as much of an evil empire as that of the US.

To those that simply call Ché a killer I ask you this? Is every soldier returning from Iraq with a kill on their record simply a murderer? They're just fighting for something they believe in too are they not? War is subjective (as is Glenn Beck... and boy is Beck subjective!). America can throw no stones when it comes to Cuba and Ché Guevara, not while the CIA-trained Luis Posada Carriles resides happily in the US having never been tried or extradited for the murder of seventy-three innocent people on a civilian flight.

Americans are just annoyed that the rest of the world has bought into the myth and image of Guevara with the same enthusiasm that Americans have when they buy into their own mythology of being the 'good guys' of world politics.

Che was an idiot, but so is Glenn Beck -- for totally different reasons.
