Exposing Che

Post by Rod »

Just picked up a copy of "Exposing the REAL Che Guevara" by Humberto Fontova. This should be required reading by everyone who ever lionizes Che "the butcher" Guevara. Only 230 pages with 17 pages of cites and the index so it's a fairly fast read. On page 16, the author tells of a Cuban American named Henry Gomez who was wearing his "Che's dead. Get over it" shirt when he happened to meet up with Carlos Santana. It's funny just because you don't want to cry at Santana's ignorance.

Come on, PLEASE tell more!!! I mean I LOVE his music, but I HATE his politics, so I usually buy his music second-hand so he doesn't get ANY of my money. But if someone was to get his to squirm regarding Che's actions, I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

One of my housemates is a cousin of ol' Ernesto (and even shares the same last name), but he still collects anti-Che t-shirts. :lol: I think this book will end up being his X-mas present.
