Webloggin » Target Pulls Che Guevara – It&#39s About Damn Time!

Like many of you, I have been disgusted and flummoxed by the hero worship for Castro’s gleeful executioner, Che Guevara. If there was ever a more cruel, vicious, sick, twisted figure, it’s hard to imagine one, yet from “The Motorcycle Diaries” to the heroic image of this brutal killer on t-shirts, he is lionized and nearly canonized. That’s why I was delighted to hear that Target had pulled a CD-case emblazoned with Che’s image from its shelves.

As several critics have noted, this character is not exactly the poster boy for peace, love and understanding. Kudos to Investor’s Business Daily for writing in their editorial “What next? Hitler backpacks? Pol Pot cookware? Pinochet pantyhose?“, citing the Guevara case as a model of “tyrant-chic,” and to Wall Street Journal columnist Mary Anastasia O’Grady for contacting Target earlier this week to ask the same question.

The time is long passed when the fraud that is communism, and its essential reliance on terror and murder, can pretend to be about “social justice,” and telling the truth about this scumbag is a good step in that direction.

Perhaps the best part of this whole episode can be found in the guest reviews of the Che Calendar at Target online:

Much thanks goes out to the guest reviewers. At least some people understand how stupid these retailers are when they cater to the sensitivities of the pseudo-intellectual morons who support murderers like Che Guevara.
