On Cuba p. Deux

Long time subscribers to this blog will already know my feelings on Cuba (the leadership, not the citizens), Casto, Che, &c. They were (and are) a gang of communist thugs. You've probably seen this image before (without the caption of course):

It's Che Guevera. For those of you who aren't familiar with him, here is a brief summary of his crimes against humanity (copied and pasted from NRO):

The fog of time and the strength of anti-anti-Communism have obscured the real Che. Who was he? He was an Argentinian revolutionary who served as Castro's primary thug. He was especially infamous for presiding over summary executions at La Cabana, the fortress that was his abattoir. He liked to administer the coup de grace, the bullet to the back of the neck. And he loved to parade people past El Paredon, the reddened wall against which so many innocents were killed. Furthermore, he established the labor-camp system in which countless citizens — dissidents, democrats, artists, homosexuals — would suffer and die. This is the Cuban gulag. A Cuban-American writer, Humberto Fontova, described Guevara as "a combination of Beria and Himmler." Anthony Daniels once quipped, "The difference between [Guevara] and Pol Pot was that [Guevera] never studied in Paris."

Amazingly, the Left has romanticized this guy as a freedom fighter and friend of the people. Robert Redford produced the sickening movie "Motorcycle Diaries" glorifying this killer. To quote Tony Daniels: "It is as if someone were to make a film about Adolf Hitler by portraying him as a vegetarian who loved animals and was against unemployment. This would be true, but rather beside the point."

So why am I posting this today?

Well, thankfully Che has been burning in Hell for over 42 years, but his daughter, Aleida Guevara, is alive and in the news today. You might recall from my 3/3/10 post entitled "The Wristband" the tragic story of Orlando Tamayo. He was a Cuban prisoner of conscience, who died after a lengthy hunger strike protesting the numerous beatings and tortures at the hands of Cuban prison authorities. Some moron gave Aleida Guevara a microphone and here is a brief summary of the nonsense she spat out:

In Brazil, the daughter of legendary Cuban revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara called hunger striking dissidents in Cuba common criminals. In remarks after a university lecture in northeastern Brazil, Aleida Guevara said that deceased dissident Zapata had economic gain in mind and he (Zapata) was a common criminal who went on a hunger strike not to demand freedom but to demand a television set, a telephone and a kitchen.

Aleida Guevara is a liar, and having a monstrous father is no excuse. Romano Mussolini was a jazz pianist who turned out ok. Tamayo was a hero, whose main desire was to be free.

Aleida now moves to the top of my list: "Most Despised Progeny of Communist Murderers", ironically replacing her own daughter who offended us all with this photo just last year:
