Combating the icon isn't easy, but friend Christina Molina is tireless when it comes to debunking the myth of Castro's executioner, whether painted on the side of a food truck, or the t-shirt.
 Here's her latest from The Tolucan Times:

This image has been used sell everything from watches to baby clothes, and considering the number of t-shirts, and other items we see emblazoned with the murderous mug, you might wonder, why bother getting upset? 
I'll tell you why.  [...]

Very early this morning at Occupy San Francisco when dozens (re-)gathered ... AFTER squatters attacked police trying to clear out the encampment overnight.
Come on. Stop trying to play us here. Just admit it, and LOUDLY, what this is ... what you are all about. The defeat of our republic, and replacing [...]

Quizzing the squatters at #OWS in Zuccotti Park ... for prizes!
And the top prize is...

Note (6:30 mark) the wandering thug that is the squatting community's handler. Seems this utopia has a certain degree of "free speech" limitations going on. Watch the faces of the squatters being questioned when the red sweater guy comes by and [...]

I saw the picture below in a book catalog and thought you'd all love to see it.

"Extraordinary legacy."
Disgusting.

Jane Fonda (warning) likes to fancy herself a righteous activist. We all know Jane from her romantic NVA gun-straddling days during the Vietnam War as those pesky American POWs insisted on being tortured, starved, beaten, and killed. But what you probably don't know is dear Jane is pining for the one she let get away. [...]

Media complicity with the brutal Castro dictatorship is why we are bombarded with articles promoting Tourism to Cuba, Healthcare in Cuba, Gay Rights in Cuba, et al, while members of the "Ladies in White" and other peaceful dissidents are attacked and beaten in broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of A.P., CNN, and other  MSM outlets.  They enjoy [...]

'Diary of a Combatant' is the sequel to 'The Motorcycle Diaries'.
(The Australian) - CUBA has published the diary that revolutionary icon Ernesto "Che" Guevara kept during the guerrilla campaign that brought Fidel Castro to power in 1959.
"Diary of a Combatant" recounts Che's experience from the landing on December 2, 1956 of a band [...]

Ah, yes! What would any revolution be without "Che"? And The Yemen Motorcycle Diaries ... Huh? Huh? Righteousness, I tell ya!

Anti-government protesters carry a poster of revolutionary Che Guevara as they ride a motorbike during a demonstration to demand the ouster of Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in the southern city of Taiz April 12, [...]

Lovely couple, don'tcha think? I'm so glad we jumped right in there to support these freedom-loving rebels ... Funny thing is, I'll bet Qadaffi is a Che fan too. It's sorta like that question people ask in war, "Who's side is God on?" Because I just don't know how much closer to being like Cuba [...]

I mean, really? Here we are with our individual states and federal governments looking desperately to make significant cuts to keep from dropping into a black pit of bankruptcy, and an artist's depiction of two butchers who imposed death, destruction, apartheid, slavery, and a miserably failed economy on Cuba through their socialist/communist ideology and lust [...]

Update on the story about the southern California food truck emblazoned with the image of che.  Local Cuban-American Christina Molina, who has led the campaign against this offense has reached enough people that the story is getting traction in local MSM news, and the Huffington Post:
Food trucks have grown up, and some are going to college--which may [...]

 
Cubans in LA  are rightfully outraged over the appearance of Chef Che on Yelp,  a food truck based out of Irvine, CA, serving Argentine cuisine such as "Fidel" Empanadas. 
This is their Twitter logo: 
  
 Please follow the links and share your thoughts on eating lunch with the image of Fidel Castro's chief executioner and Hollywood Phenom, who besides being responsible for [...]

Next week marks the anniversary of the death of mass-murderer Che Guevara.
Many of us have had more than our share of run-ins with ignorant hipsters sporting t-shirts and messenger bags with the idealized image of the "revolutionary poster boy." Like most Cubans, I'm not shy about offering the truth of who Che was and why [...]

If you missed Glenn Beck's  groundbreaking special on the roots of socialism and communism and the evil that followed, you can watch it here on Fox, the network hated by left.
Don't miss the expose on el che, finally, a large audience MSM show airs the truth about the Butcher of La Cabana.

Write a letter; that is Benecio Del Toro's recommendation to any journalist that wants to ask him tough questions regarding his romantic portrayal of a megalomaniacal serial killer.
"The problem that I've had, if I've had problems with journalists, is, what's the point of being a journalist if you're just gonna talk to me and tell me [...]

"This man wanted justice and equal opportunity for all people. He didn't believe in coloured skin and many other things that separate people. He sacrificed himself to fight the things that he saw as completely unjust. And he didn't fight people who were unarmed. Che fought armies. He didn't terrorize people," says Del Toro.
Unreal
