« George Moonbat Denounces Hoax Deniers | Main | No Way to Auto Bailout »

My god he's paler than me! He looks like he has never seen the sun before! On the movie, I bet no sane american will ever buy it much less watch it on purpose.

4 and a half hours?! I'm not sure I know what the market for this is. Well, besides hardcore moonbats, that is. I read somewhere that less and less people are buying that Che-as-hero bull$!@#.

50 years from now, guys like Steven Soderbergh be making these sorts of documentaries about Stalin too.

спасибо за инфу!

Political correctness and all its devious offspring (multiculturalism, moral relativism, tolerance, diversity, victimization...) cannot exist without revisionist history. Read Fontova's book, 'Exposing the Real Che Guevara'.

Hey, del Toro and Soderbergh: Don't be a DouChe!

Not surprisine ever since the 1980s when they made that crap movie REDS glorifing the life of american communist JOHN REID and it will probibly be nominated for the best picture oscar and best director knowing how dirty they are in hollyweed THAT DIRECTOR IS AS UGLY AS THEY COME

Soderbergh's List.
Can't wait for the Chronicals of Goering.

4.5 hours dedicated to a brutal murderer and a nose-thumb to his victims.
If justice ever prevails, this movie will be used someday as a lesson in the ethical, moral bankruptcy of liberalism. Not that there isn't already enough nauseating material available.

I've never understood the "Che-as-hero" thing the left seems to have. Other than the obvious Communist sympathies, what could they see in him that is worthy of the kind of hero-worship they lavish on him? Even if you ignore the murderous side of him that the MSM buries whenever possible, he's a Communist revolutionary, and nothing more. They're a dime a dozen throughout history.

It's interesting that to people that didn't live in Cuba or experience the "joy" of first-class Communist revolution, or have relatives who did, Che is a God-like hero figure. Among people who were there or had relatives who were, he is a cold-blooded mass-murderer and a villain of the highest order. It's also interesting which take Hollywood prefers. I think McCarthy was 50 or so years too early in his Hollywood Communist hunts - you can't turn around without tripping over a hard-left Communist sympathizer in Hollywood today.

The hero of the Hollywood Left was a racist:

Two quotes from Che:

“We’re going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing.”

"The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving."

and from another source:

'Sanchez recalls how Che constantly tormented the black Cuban rebel, Juan Almedia. "Almedia would get furious!" says Sanchez. "So finally I told him: look Juan, if Che keeps calling you "el negrito," turn around and call him "El Chancho" ("The Pig"; among the bourgeois debauchments most disdained by Ernesto Guevara were baths.) Sanchez reveals all this in the fascinating documentary "Che; Anatomia de un Mito."

It's also notable that Batista, the president he overthrew was black (although Redford hired an aryan type to play him in a movie). A high number of black people worked for the government before the revolution, but a couple of years after, there was less than 1% of blacks working for the government.

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."

Che and Castro also wanted the Soviets to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on NYC.

How many blacks would have died in that attack?

CoderInCrisis,

Check off the list:
Che was a Communist.
Che was anti-capitalist.
Che was anti-American.
Che executed people who didn't tow the party line.
Che helped bring about equality through misery.

What more could a leftist/liberal/moonbat ask for?

So did Soderbergh, that pale pinkish rat looking director, ever pay some sort of licensing fee to the Guevara family or the photographer for using his likeness? You know that iconic t-shirt graphic of CheTwat is copyrighted by his family/photographer. How double standard and hypocritical can ya get! Filthy Kommie Kunts trademarking something which should belong to the people and working class mannnnnnnnnnn!

Hollywood and the media push a progressive ideology that relies on revising history and other fact-altering mechanisms (climate change, anyone) in order to achieve the progressive agenda of a coercive utopia. Historical truth flies in the face of this agenda because it exposes progressivism/socialism, uncovering its real goal: ultimate power for those who know better than the rest of us.

Fontova's book, while unapologetically one-sided, exposes the real Che from a person with first-hand experience.

Director Soderbergh wants totalitarian murderers remembered as heroes.

Who will be the subject of his next 'biopic'? Pol Pot? Idi Amin? Robert Mugabe? Osama bin Laden?

Filthy Kommie Kunts trademarking something which should belong to the people and working class mannnnnnnnnnn!

ROFL!

They are also using the 'filthy capitalist machine' to produce and distribute and make money (hopefully very little money) off of this travesty.

What would Uncle Joe say?

Well, on second thought, I guess he would be fine with it. I imagine that Soderbergh is a major contributor to the ACLU and Planned Parenthood.

There are some who have stencils they use to spraypaint the Che picture as graffiti. If there were more of that sort of person around here, I would make it a point to make myself a stencil of Mickey Mouse ears to add to Che, just to subvert him metaphorically.

Hopefully, in the future, the film 'Che''s legacy will be viewed similarly to that of the film 'The Birth of a Nation': Adored and held up as wonderful historic truth by those with no knowledge of history when it first came out and for some years afterward, yet eventually exposed to the public as the hideous, evil- promoting pack of lies that it is.

Someone should put a tack in that directors chair tipped with LSD to make him even more stupid

I think McCarthy was 50 or so years too early in his Hollywood Communist hunts

McCarth had nothing to do with that, dispite insistance of Liberals. The Screen Actors' Guild was involved in the blackballing of actors, actresses, writers, ect. Now they work to belittle and harass the CONSERVATIVS in movies.

Bill Richardson said "Obama is an immigrant"

What would make a good movie about that pig Che would be a cartoon done like The Christmas Carol. A stupid insipid Hollywood director wants to celebrate the life of Che in a grandiose movie. But one night while sleeping a ghost of Che past comes to wake him and show him the world of Che past, present and future. The Che of the future has rounded up all the Hollywood creeps and lined them all up and shot them point blank in the head. The dream changes the director's life and he makes a movie showing the butcher as he really was.

Dead man walking.

Cute guy.

The real Che would have cut his throat within 30 seconds had they met in the Cuban jungles 50 years ago. Useless is useless - even to a murdering communist pig.

Che is/was the ultimate manifestation of moonbattery:

Prepared to commit mass murder in the name of political ideology, but absolutely sucked at every aspect of warfare he ever tried his hand at that was more difficult than shooting unarmed teenagers in the back of the head:

"The invasion plan included a CIA squad dispatching three rowboats off the coast of western Cuba (350 miles from the true invasion site) loaded with time-release Roman candles, bottle rockets, mirrors and a tape recording of battle.

The wily Che immediately deciphered the imperialist scheme! That little feint 300 miles away at the Bay of Pigs was a transparent ruse! The REAL invasion was coming here in Pinar Del Rio! Che stormed over with several thousand troops, dug in, locked, loaded and waited for the "Yankee/mercenary" attack. They braced themselves as the sparklers, smoke bombs and mirrors did their stuff just offshore.

Three days later the (literal) smoke and mirror show expended itself and Che's men marched back to Havana. Not surprisingly, the masterful Comandante had managed to wound himself in this heated battle against a tape recorder. The bullet pierced Che's chin and excited above his temple, just missing his brain. The scar is visible in all post-April '61 pictures of the gallant Che (the picture we see on posters and T-shirts was shot a year earlier.)

Cuban novelist Guillermo Cabrera Infante, a Fidelista at the time, speculates the wound may have come from a botched suicide attempt."

Kabila made Idi Amin look like Gandhi. Castro, itching to be rid of this nuisance, sent Che (code-named “Tatu”) and a force of his rebel army “veterans” to help these cannibals. The Congolese reds, unfamiliar with Che’s true record, accepted Tatu gratefully.

The masterful “Tatu’s” first order of business was plotting an attack on a garrison guarding a hydroelectric plant in a place called Front Bendela on the Kimbi River in Eastern Congo. His masterstroke was to be an elaborate ambush of the garrison.

The wily Tatu was stealthily leading his force into position when they heard shots. Whoops! ... Hey?! WHAT THE?! Ambushers became ambushed – and by the same garrison he thought was guarding the plant. Che lost half his men and barely escaped with his life."

Imagine the Germans atop Monte Cassino outnumbering and outgunning the Allies 10 to 1 in early ‘44. Hell, they’d STILL be there. It was a defender’s dream.

Well, the brilliant Tatu and his comandantes had that very set-up in a place called Fizi-Baraka in Eastern Congo for their second clash with the mad dogs of imperialism. Mad Mike and his CIA allies sized the place up and attacked. Within one day the mighty Che’s entire force was scrambling away in panic, throwing away their arms, running and screaming like old ladies with rats running up their legs.

Real guerrillas had Che’s number. Mao refused to see him when he visited China. He had him cool his heels in a reception room for two hours, then stood him up. He knew. Che the Lionhearted’s image is still ubiquitous on college campuses. But in the wrong places. He belongs in the marketing, PR, advertising – and especially – psychology departments. His lessons and history are fascinating and valuable, but only in light of Sigmund Freud or P.T. Barnum. One born every minute, Mr. Barnum? If only you’d lived to see the Che phenomenon. Actually, 10 are born every second.

Here’s a “guerrilla hero” who in real life never fought in a guerrilla war. When he finally brushed up against one, he was routed.

An utter coward:

'When he whimpered to his American-trained captors in Bolivia, “Don’t shoot – I’m Che! I’m worth more to you alive than dead!”'

and was basically a disgusting pig:

"During the night I had a bad case of the runs and, being ashamed to leave a souvenir in the pot under my bed, I climbed out on to the window ledge and gave up all of my pain to the night and blackness beyond. The next morning I looked out to see the effect and saw that two metres below lay a big sheet of tin where they were sun-drying their peaches; the added spectacle was impressive.

(From The Motorcycle Diaries)"

Leftard idiots who idolize the guy as a brave, rebellious, freedom-loving "revolutionary" entirely indict their own character, not to mention their understanding of bravery, rebellion, freedom and revolution.

Here’s a cold-blooded murderer who executed thousands without trial, who claimed that judicial evidence was an “unnecessary bourgeois detail,” who stressed that “revolutionaries must become cold-killing machines motivated by pure hate,” who stayed up till dawn for months at a time signing death warrants for innocent and honorable men, whose office in La Cabana had a window where he could watch the executions – and today his T-shirts adorn people who oppose capital punishment!

‘Greens’ Love
This Polluter

Here’s communist Cuba’s first “Minister of Industries,” whose main slogan in 1960 was “Accelerated Industrialization!” Whose dream was converting Cuba (the hemisphere, actually) into a huge bureaucratic-industrial ant farm – and he’s the poster boy for greens and anarchists who scream and rant against industrialization!

Here’s a sniveling little suck-up, teacher’s pet and momma’s boy who was the constant pride of joy of his teacher (Alberto Bayo) and parents (the most obnoxious sort of Limousine Bolsheviks) – and he’s idolized by millionaire delinquents such as

Rage Against
the Machine!

Here’s a humorless teetotaler, a plodding paper-pusher, a notorious killjoy and all-around fuddy-duddy – and you see his T-shirt on MTV’s Spring Break revelers!

Perhaps competent psychologists (if any exist) will explain this some day.

Che excelled in one thing: mass murder of defenseless men. He was a Stalinist to the core, a plodding bureaucrat and a calm, cold-blooded – but again, never in actual battle – killer. And there was an actual method to this murderous madness.

Recall that in 1940 Stalin’s commissars rounded up the Polish officer corps, herded them into the Katyn Forest and slaughtered them to a man. Stalin didn’t want any Polish contras messing up his plans. These officers would have led them. So his men dug a huge mass grave and lined up the Polish officers. The Russian pistol barrels went up against the backs of the necks:

POW! ... Thump. Fifteen thousand shots later the deed was done and the dirt replaced. Any contra problem was nipped in the bud.

Che followed suit in Cuba. As a communist flunky in Guatemala he’d seen the Guatemalan officer corps rise up against the communist Arbenz government in ‘54. (And you pinko professors, please stifle the noise about Arbenz as a harmless “social democrat” and “nationalist” victimized by the fiendish United Fruit Co., OK? When ousted, Arbenz sought refuge in Czechoslovakia, not Sweden.)

Beloved
Mass Murderer

Anyway, Che didn’t want a repeat in Cuba. Upon entering Havana in January ‘59 he started rounding up all army officers. Then – FUEGO!! – his firing squads got busy. Real busy. By his own count, Che sent 2,500 men to “the wall.”

The “Cuban Katyn,” I call this slaughter. The reds called these executed men “war criminals” and the Beltway press naturally parroted the charge. Nothing new there.

The New York Times’ (Pulitzer Prize-winning, no less) reporter Walter Duranty had parroted Stalin and Beria’s charges against the victims of the 1930s show trials, too. Later, they, along with Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy and Tip O’Neill, labeled Nicaragua’s contras “war criminals.” But today Nicaragua is free because of them.

Che’s true legacy is simply one of terror and murder. That dreaded midnight knock. Wives and daughters screaming in rage and panic as Che’s goons drag off their dads and husbands – that’s the real Che legacy.

Desperate crowds of weeping daughters and shrieking mothers clubbed with rifle butts outside La Cabana as Che’s firing squads murder their dads and sons inside – that’s the real Che legacy.

Thousands of heroes yelling “Viva Cuba Libre!” and “Viva Christo Rey!” before firing squads of murderous drunks whom they’d have stomped in open battle – that’s the real Che legacy.

Secret graves and crude boxes with bullet-riddled corpses delivered to ashen-faced loved ones – that’s the real Che legacy.

And let’s not forget the craven “Don’t shoot – I’m Che! I’m worth more to you live than dead!” (Then why didn’t he save his last bullet for himself?) Perhaps the defiant yells of the men he murdered actually affected Che the Lionhearted?

By 1960 he started ordering that his victims’ mouths be taped shut. Perhaps there was a trace of human emotion in this icy dolt after all? Genuine bravery and defiance unnerved him.

When the wheels of justice finally turned, Che was revealed as unworthy to carry his victims’ slop buckets. He learned nothing from their bravery. He could only beg for his life. So yes, the craven request when cornered in Bolivia is also the real Che legacy."

You left out the fact that Che hated bathing. Maybe that's the thing that makes lib-hippies so enamoured of him?

"We don't need proof to execute a man, we only need proof that it's necessary to execute him. A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate."

NOTE: The American media and Hollwierd have already adopted this philosophy in politics.

Che was killed by polivian solders they did us a favor but many many moons later along comes a bunch of lowlife reptiles to glorifi the miserble pig, Frankly i hope someone acedetly knocks solderburghs glasses off his ugly bloated fat face and steps on them he trips and wrecks his directors chair jams his bullhorn down his throat BOYCOTT THE CHE MOVIE CRAP

@KHarn: Whoops, you're right. It was the SAG Communist blackballing that I was thinking of.

I feel so sorry for these hollywackos! There is just no medication for stupidity!

Cool... I added a section to the Wikipedia entry and someone added more content and links!
