The real face of Che

Young America’s Foundation is using this week to raise awareness of just what kind of monster is behind the trendy T-shirts and jewelry. Che Guevara wasn’t a hero. He was a killer.
“The Victims of Che Guevera” poster, produced by the Young America’s Foundation, centers on a collage that uses tiny photos of those killed by Cuba’s communist regime to compose the face of the Marxist guerrilla, who has become a popular T-shirt icon.
“Che is one of the heroes that the left idolizes,” said Patrick X. Coyle, vice president of YAF. “But a lot of kids don’t know anything about him. We thought this would be a great way to highlight his atrocities.”
YAF designed and printed 10,000 posters featuring the famous Che photo, made up of tiny photos of his victims.
Guevara was “an international terrorist and mass murderer,” the YAF poster declares.
It’s no accident, Mr. Coyle suggests, that Guevara T-shirts are worn by students on so many campuses today. “Colleges and universities are the last holdouts of Marxist ideas,” he said.
Someone needs to get one of these posters to Johnny Depp.
Update: YAF’s Freedom Week features several other posters and activities as a celebration of the victory over Communism (the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is Nov 9). Check ‘em out and order some posters for the young skulls full of mush near you.

Clearly Che’s vision was supierior. You can tell by all the people risking their lives trying to float from Miami to Havana.
Oh wait-
Never Mind…

“But a lot of kids don’t know anything about him.”
That pretty much sums it up for libtards. They don’t anything about anything. They can’t think for themselves, they see a picture they think looks cool, or take up a cause that they think will make them look open-minded and they jump all over it without knowing what it really is. In their deluded mind, a killer is a hero and a liberator is a villian. A cop killer is leading a revolution against the capitalists and the dead cop was a fascist who held them down. They defend free speech by not letting somebody speak. They defend dictators who imprison protestors and protest against their own govt saying it’s dictatorial. They are what they protest against and someday these kids are gonna hafta wake up, get a job and move outta mommy’s house, into the real world. I just don’t see how they could function.

Absolutely brilliant!
Oh, the blowback…it’s coming soon. I can imagine the dander-scalped, Woody Allen-types with leather patches on their snagged wool jackets going off on a tirade against YAF on universities across the country.
LOL

So how did that whole YAF/YAF thing end up? Related? Not related? Same? Racist? Not racist? BNP? What did YAF have to say about Michigan YAF having Nick Griffin.
JiangxiDad on November 5, 2007 at 10:05 AM
Holy crap that was art.
Black Adam on November 5, 2007 at 10:05 AM
C’mon, the Communists only murdered 100 million or so people.
It’s not like they waterboarded three terror suspects or anything really brutal.
JammieWearingFool on November 5, 2007 at 10:11 AM
Where do I get one? I’d like to put it up in my office at the University.
nailinmyeye on November 5, 2007 at 10:12 AM
Hmmm…wonder what the reaction would be if I hung one of those up in my classroom?
Bob's Kid on November 5, 2007 at 10:16 AM
Deprogramming at its finest.
Connie on November 5, 2007 at 10:16 AM
You can get them for free (only paying shipping), from yaf’s website.
nailinmyeye on November 5, 2007 at 10:25 AM
A little hard to find on the site, so here is the direct link
BobH on November 5, 2007 at 10:29 AM
The posters should be directed at young hippie girls. Dudes will stop wearing che shirts if they see a reduction in the score potential of wearing one. You know that’s really why they wear them.
Hell, that’s why most lib dudes do anything they do — to look sensitive and hip for free-wheelin’ liberated wymynzz whom they’ve heard will do anything, baby!
Mephistefales on November 5, 2007 at 10:30 AM
I’d be so absolutely dead if I put that up at the school I teach at.
Tim Burton on November 5, 2007 at 10:30 AM
Hmmm…can’t seem to find a link to it anywhere on their site.
flipflop on November 5, 2007 at 10:30 AM
Ah…thanks Bob!
flipflop on November 5, 2007 at 10:32 AM
Be careful when ordering on their site, I found some additional items I didn’t “click to order” in my cart, you may need to check a box to remove items, then update the cart before you check out.
Laura02420 on November 5, 2007 at 10:36 AM
When this Che T-shirt comes out, I want one.
On second thought, I’ll take a dozen. Got to pass them out to as many anti-communists as posssible.
Bigfoot on November 5, 2007 at 10:57 AM
“…the stacatto singing of machine guns…”- Che’s ultimate meaning.
Chaos under the banner of “liberation”.
Cruelty unto the false flag of “love”.
One more self-indulgent psychopath posing as a hero.
And luring the naive into his cul de sac of simplistic answers to problems as ancient as the human condition.
Ready to launch nukes to further his “anti-imperialist” utopia. (Luckily they had been removed from Cuban by that time.)
A Ted Bundy with a “glorious cause”.
*spit*

I’m convinced that guys who wear this killer’s puss in public want to have his baby. I watched an interview with a pudgy, Liberal dork that kept referring to “Che” with a tone in his voice like he new the guy. Che would have blown his brains out given the chance for being an American. What is it with the latent sexual attraction of Liberal males towards other foreign males that wish to kill them?
He was such a whack that Castro was afraid of him.
Hening on November 5, 2007 at 11:10 AM
Ordered mine a week ago. Just got a note that there’s a parcel waiting for me. Looking forward to putting it up.
MadisonConservative on November 5, 2007 at 11:12 AM
Sounds like a glitch. We are talking about free posters here.
Bryan on November 5, 2007 at 11:21 AM
I had a problem with the shopping cart in trying to ship to Canada. It kept switching my shipping method from the one I choose, to the most expensive option. I emailed support, and they emailed right away with a number to call to order my poster.
I will phone at lunch.
nailinmyeye on November 5, 2007 at 11:31 AM
I do hope this is yet another sign of the pendulum swinging back to the side of truth.
.
I like the Reagan poster myself.
That is one hot photo of Ann Coulter.
abinitioadinfinitum on November 5, 2007 at 11:46 AM
The set of fad-following
f***headsfreaks who idolize Che Guevera are the same IDJITS who think Hugo Chavez is just wonderful.A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
hillbillyjim on November 5, 2007 at 11:50 AM
That would make an awesome t-shirt.
BadgerHawk on November 5, 2007 at 11:57 AM
hillbillyjim-
With CHE it would be:
A WASTE IS A TERRIBLE THING TO MIND.
(Put that slogan under his puss.)
profitsbeard on November 5, 2007 at 12:02 PM
My favorite ‘Che’ shirt:
Here
BobH on November 5, 2007 at 12:04 PM
You’re right. A shirt with that graphic could cause some serious political whiplash on campuses.
Bryan on November 5, 2007 at 12:04 PM
It is long since forgotten but in 1969, Hollywood made a movie called “Che” which deified Che. Che was considered so saintly that even Castro came out looking like a villain in comparison to the saintly Che. I believe that the movie is not even available on DVD. Hollywood’s leftwing bias was apparent even way back then.
Larraby on November 5, 2007 at 12:33 PM
Contribute to capitalism. It’s the ultimate in fighting the Che(s) of the world.
Entelechy on November 5, 2007 at 12:43 PM
The same tards who have Che posters prolly also have black velvet paintings of Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and Princess Di in their mommys’ basement apt.
Coronagold on November 5, 2007 at 12:47 PM
I just ordered my poster, thanks!
GoodBoy on November 5, 2007 at 12:48 PM
“I would have kept that pipe“
Entelechy on November 5, 2007 at 12:51 PM
Please do not equate any incarnation of Che with my black velvet Elvis.
The Race Card on November 5, 2007 at 4:24 PM
And such a whack that Castro had him whacked in Bolivia where he was sent to stir up poo.
