Che also ordered the lefty prosecution lawyers who looked for evidence to make their case to cease. Evidence was an artifact of decadent bourgeoisie society, Che roared. We execute from revolutionary necessity. He explained that the people can not be educated by good deeds but must be educated by the pedagogy of the firing squad.

Che enjoyed the firing squads, enough to have a wall knocked down at his prison so he could watch them from his office. He condemned 1892 men, boys, and women to death.

After watching many executions, he came to regret the spilling of so much blood. So he had the condemned stop on their way to their deaths to drain a few pints of blood from them. Some of the blood he sold to the North Vietnamese for $50 a pint.

Che was also instrumental in cracking down on crime, helping enforce a law that targeted behavior indicating a prediliction toward crime, an Orwellian concept. Some of these behaviors were long hair, blue jeans, and listening to American rock music. In other words, Che made war on hippies.

Che’s goons would make raids on known hangouts for such hippie types, often simply shooting them dead. Their bodies would then be presented to the funeral director and told they were in car accidents. Others were sent off to the Cuban gulag and worked to death.

It was so bad that Cuban kids who wanted to listen to rock and roll had to play it at night way down low, so that the neighborhood informer would not turn them in. They called it midnght music.

The greatest irony is that the kind of dopey hippie numbskull who loves Che the most is exactly the kind of person Che would have shot.

When Che executed his victims, he wouldn’t have the families informed until after they were buried. He wouldn’t tell them where the grave was, forbid them from searching the cemetery for it, and forbid them from grieving their death in their home.

Che was almost the Bin Laden of his time, plotting two separate attacks on New York City. One attack would blow up landmarks in New York. The other attack involved planting incendiary bombs in department stores around Manhattan on the day after Thanksgiving, the biggest shopping day of the year. Both plots were discovered and defeated by the FBI and NYPD.

The irony of it all is that while Che was plotting to blow them up and burn them en masse, the elite of New York liberal society were entertaining and praising him in penthouse parties when he spoke at the UN. To them, Che was just the most radically chic of them all.

And those are the kind of Hollywood idiots who make movies praising Che.

Dude, he was not in this movie. Sorry man. Keep the DVD

Now on to my 2 pennies:

It is funny how these tools try to make these folks deities only to get mad when they are questioned/confronted with this little thing called the truth.

Dis Is Ike,
Peace Out

To think “No Country for Old Men” is actually in my DVD rack.

No more of his movies.

Baseball bats to the head make a “bang” noise?

Jim708 on January 27, 2009 at 6:05 PM

OK. Maybe not. BUT-if the heads are empty, I imagine they would!

Besides, Castro’s “revolution” has been going on for 50 years now, and a lot more Cuban “boat people” are trying to reach Florida than Americans trying to join Castro’s revolution. How many Americans are brainwashed enough to spend four hours watching a movie about a colossal failure?

I’d like to hear Senator Mel Martinez, a refugee from the Cuban revolution, speak about this movie…

This movie could be, and SHOULD be, a major flop, and maybe Senor del Toro is too bull-headed to realize it. Pun intended.

In the movie, Guevara is shown executing a man. But the man is executed for raping a child,

But that’s wrong, according to the liberal wing of the Supreme Court.

Che is a terrorist, nothing more.

Suck it up, Benny. Ya lionized a freakin murderous scumbag.
How’d ya think Cuban exiles would react? The man helped destroy their country and more than likely personally murder more than a few of their family members.

Put yourself in THEIR place. C’mon, you’re supposedly this great acting talent, I’m sure you can do it:

This monstrosity, that some Hollywood types attempted to lionize in a film, personally put a bullet in one of your loved one’s head for no reason other than your loved one’s opposition to said monster’s distopian world view.

How would YOU feel?

Liberals…always talk about how much they feel, how they feel so strongly about this, and feel so strongly for that person, or that cause. Apparently, they also believe they are the only people on Earth that are allowed or capable of feeling.

Every one of the crack-heads is idolizing a mass-murderer. They might as well have Pol Pot shirts or Mao shirts or Hitler shirts. You want moral equivalence? I’ll show you some damned moral equivalence.

Loving murder isn’t okay, it isn’t safe, it isn’t stable. And the bloody irony is that the kind of idiot who wears a Che t-shirt would be among the first up against the wall – how well are dissidents tolerated in Cuba?

An interesting counter point to Benicio’s hagiology of a totalitarian seriel killer is Eric Blair’s (george orwell)Homage to Catalonia. Two revolutions seperated by 20 some years, but an example in contrast.

Homage to Catalonia was honest and one of Orwell’s really great books which helped lay the foundation for his more well known and certainly more widely read books.

Benicio could have benefitted by less Ernest Hemingway and more Orwell.

The left’s logic is simple: you can do whatever you want so long as you have the right “motive” of saving the poor…

Amazing how libs who excuse and ignore the worst commie tyrannies are the first to complain about phantom republican ‘crimes’ and ‘concentration camps’, along with their media accomplices? Why is that.

It’s called projection. If they had power, they would do those terrible things.

What’s the conservative answer to this?

Seriously.

If a conservative filmmaker has the guts to convert Armando Valladares’ book into a killer screenplay and then a killer film, then I will be happy.

I read the book, in Spanish, when I was fourteen. It made an anti-Communist out of me.

Yep, I told my husband tonight, I’m banning all hollyweird movies indefinitely. Unless they are pro-America, and I don’t mean pro-America like all the recently patriotic bunch who’ve just discovered how cool it is to be “patriotic”.

4shoes

but but but…you cant do that. Thats violating the free speech rights of those wise sages known as actors. Us common people should not be doing that. Only they are heroic enough to make those kinds of decisions.

/Natalie Maines mode off

the scary thing about this movie is the fact its over 4hrs long. This is true, Hollywood Commie worshiping.

A movie that long is not about making a profit, like the Che T-Shirt biz.

Hollywood is the enemy, or one of them.

Actually, I liked him best as Fenster in The Usual Suspects. He was the first on killed.

Che (the subject and the film) is a piece of crap.

juanito on January 27, 2009 at 6:34 PM

Wasn’t he also the first to die as Frankie Four Fingers in Snatch? Maybe this can be a trend item and Che can be killed off in the first 15 minutes of this 4 hour waste of time.

That’s Che’s legacy, terrorism.

“Psycho” was one thing. The dude was a real weasel. I love best the way he died, like a true leftie.

Entelechy on January 27, 2009 at 5:42 PM

He said “I am Che and am worth more to you alive then dead”.

What’s the conservative answer to this?

Seriously.

Ask Andy Garcia. To listen to the critics and those in Hollywood, Andy’s movie, “The Lost City” was nearly unaminmously panned. It took him over 15 years to make this movie, mostly with his own money. If you haven’t seen it, you should. He actually used historical facts and did not portray Castro, Che and their henchmen as rescuing heroes. It’s about Havana’s last days. He directed it, he started in it, he bankrolled a great portion of it. It was a labor of love for him. Because he insisted on it being historically correct, he made what was an unforgivable blunder in his industry. Garcia’s movie had limited review, because film festivals would not show it and many of the Latin countries would not show it. Maybe most egregious was that he showed that Che was a cold blooded killer. Maybe Garcia’s greatest fault, according to the critics, was his failure to portray the stereotypical Latino. Historically correct movies rarely do well. But let Oliver Stone make JFK and people take it for gospel.
