Che
Guevara

• May 27 -- More Left-Wing Che Clichés
Larry Rohter on Argentina's tiresome Che chic: "Che Guevara is widely remembered today as a revolutionary figure; to some a heroic, Christ-like martyr, to others the embodiment of a failed ideology….for Latin Americans just now coming of age, yet another image of Che is starting to emerge: the romantic and tragic young adventurer who has as much in common with Jack Kerouac or James Dean as with Fidel Castro." Rohter leaves out one group: Those who consider Guevara a bloodthirsty Communist militant.
