Last week the BBC World Service commemorated the highly significant 43rd anniversary of Che Guevara’s death by asking former KGB-funded commie-sympathising Guardian journalist Richard Gott to offer his adoring version of the “Christ-like” psychopathic thug. Be warned, you may need a bucket for this one. (Thanks to Marky for the clip; further hat-tips to Abandon Ship, Rueful Red and John Horne Tooke).
Over on Townhall.com Humberto Fontova also marked the anniversary, but his version of Guevara’s story is somewhat different to the one the BBC serves up year after year.
(Marky provides some more related links in the blurb for the above You Tube clip)
“Che’s life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom. We will always honor his memory.”
-Nelson Mandela-
So was Mandela!
That really is shocking and disgusting… he was a brutal murderer for goodness sake.
The left love killlers and torturers and child killers like Che, the question is why?
A twisted desire to proclaim a warped killer a hero is nothing new and other killers have achieved celebrity status like the gansters of the 20s/30s US folklore but the BBC has a duty to be impartial and to tell the truth about his rampage which became too sick for even Castro.
Again and again the BBC hide the truth from us because the truth would smash their fabricated world apart, its like the truth is a poison to the BBC. The BBC loves to highlight its support for amnesty international and likes to pimp itself as being for human rights and anti violence but this Che fixation proves its all a fake front to hide their real face behind, in reality they are just as sick and warped as Che himself.
How dya like them apples comrade?

Then click the “next” button and an image of Dominic Lawson’s editorial appears. Again, click the “original size” button then right-click on the image and save it to your hard drive. Click the “next” button again and the first page of Alastair Palmer’s two-page article appears. Follow the same routine until you’ve downloaded all four images.
The reporter behind this hagiography is Argentian-born Andres Schipani, who as well as being the BBC’s Bolivia correspondent, is also a very regular contributor to the Daily Telegra…no, sorry, the Guardian – though he also writes for The Observer, The Independent, and the Financial Times.
He wrote an article in the same vein as this report (also quoting the KGB’s friend Gott) for the Observer in 2007, The Final Triumph of Saint Che. Also there’s this interview (from the Guardian) with the last civilian to see Guevara alive.
It’s not just Guevara though. Check out this article he co-wrote about Fidel Castro in the Observer, where he manages to blame the United States for almost everything bad. (The U.S.’s total trade embargo on Cuba is spun as “punishing the Cuban people for more than 40 years”. ) And this from the Guardian with a former Castro groupie.
Argentian-born, has a thing for Castro, now works in Bolivia – does he personally identify with Guevara?
Remember that Che Guevara “himself boasted of “manufactured evidence” and stated flat out “I don’t need proof to execute a man, I only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him.” “Certainly we execute,” boasted Che at the UN General Assembly in 1964, “and we will continue executing as long as it is necessary.”
Odd that the BBC never see that side of Che, maybe they were blinded by the posters and T-shirts?
Che was a racist too as well as a murderous lout. Google his views of black people.
He is known for homophobic and anti-semitic views too.
Maybe his anti-semitism trumps his racism and homophobia and keeps him in the good books of the ‘liberal’ left.
YET MORE BALANCED, IMPARTIAL OUTPUT FROM THE BBC

“If we want a model for a man, for a man who doesn’t belong to our time, but a model for the future, I say with all my heart that the model, a model without a single stain on his conduct, without a single stain in his attitude or his actions, is Che.”
Che worship could be around for a while yet. Last time we had such a ‘model’ held in similar high regard, was 1,400 years ago, that’s working out really well, isn’t it?
