Whenever I see some college student sporting the iconic image of Che Guevara, the psychopathic physician whose romantic tale of blood and gore has thrilled the hearts of liberals every where, I chuckle. His now legendary diary, The Motorcycle Diaries, almost a total fabrication by the Cuban Ministry of Propaganda, has been the subject of many books and feature films. Here is a hint for all you thoughtful liberal documentary filmmakers, biographers, and journalists: if your source of information is published and distributed by a communist entity called the “Ministry of Propaganda” then every word of the source material is suspect at the very least. But of course, liberals love anything communistic and, as we all know, Cuba can do no wrong. Oh for the glory days of Mao and Stalin…what liberal’s heart doesn’t leap to fondly remember them.

Here are some bullet points for all you Che admirers out there:

- Twice, Che plotted terrorist attacks against New York City. In November 1962, the FBI cracked a terrorist plot by Cuban agents who targeted Macy’s, Gimbel’s, Bloomingdale’s and Grand Central Terminal. They planned to blow up those landmarks with 12 incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT the day after Thanksgiving. Several months before visiting New York in December 1964 and being feted by the toast of the city’s intelligentsia, Che hatched a plan with the Black Liberation Army to blow up the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell and the Washington Monument. The plotters were infiltrated in 1965 by a sharp-eyed NYPD cadet.

- Che detested rock and roll and railed against “long hairs,” “lazy youths,” and homosexuals. At one point, he wrote that the young must always “listen carefully - and with the utmost respect – to the advice of their elders who held governmental authority.”

- Che sidelined black Cubans and mocked those who were part of the revolutionary movement. He once told radio host Luis Pons, “We’re going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing.”

- Che personally ordered 700 executions by firing squad, which he supervised at his jungle headquarters in Cuba. He also hosted book burnings, torching thousands of books owned by suspect intellectuals and librarians.

–Che enjoyed viewing executions and had a special window constructed in his study so he could watch men and women being shot to death. What a hero!

He’s the ultimate symbol of radical chic but Che Guevara was really a homophobic, racist square who personally ordered the jailing and executions of innocent men, women and children?

According to Humberto Fontova, the author of “Exposing the Real Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him,” Guevara probably would have imprisoned or punished most of his celebrity fans, from Johnny Depp to Angelina Jolie.
