   I would have to wonder: who wears Che’ attire that actually know who he is and what he did?
   Of course there are those that do, but for the most part, when I see Che’s face on something, the person I see donning him looks like a clueless mouth-breather.

   Dittos the Carter wear … Maybe a nice cardigan sweater?

   Hey I remember when the nuclear engineer sat by the fire telling us all we would be out of oil by the year 2000.

   when do they start selling the Che eau-du-toilet - the stench of a man who never bathed…and was a failure?

   Jim Hanson at Blackfive unveils a new line of counterinsurgency t-shirts.

   I like it! I think I may need one or two of those in my wardrobe soon.

   Personally, I prefer the Che image that the Dissident Frogman has scattered throughout his site. Che with Mickey Mouse ears!

   That’s one doctor who will never need malpractice insurance!

   I always associate Che’s image with armpit odor.

    tarpon …

    I seem to remember that at the same time Carter was pushing global cooling and an ice age by 2000 …

    I challenge every young kid I see in Che shirts or hats about who it is and then what it represents … I have only rarely found one that can answer even 1 of those 2 questions …

    I then take the opportunity to calmly enlighten them about the facts on Che or any other anti-American gear they have on …

    Next I explain to them that wearing such things indicates to others that they support what those types of people stood for …

    Believe it or not it often gets through to them and they respond that they didn’t know were representing such terrorist beliefs …

    I think I told you all that I threw out my cousin and his gf about 6 weeks ago when they came to DC because the girl was wearing the “Che” t-shirt and refused to remove it and leave it in their car. I asked her if she even knew who he was, she said something about it didn’t matter, he was a hero to the “common man”. My cousin’s son listened but she sat there like my 4 y/o used to do when he was 3 with her fingers in her ear saying “I can’t hear you”. I finally called my cousin told her I was throwing them out and she said that was fine, she’s obnoxious anyway and they can’t stand her (and they’re pretty liberal themselves but at least they’re not fans of Che).
    DL, I’m also old enough to remember the “Ice Age” that was coming in the mid-70’s. I remember one of my cousin’s (she’s now crazy about global warming) yelling at my parents about this “crisis” over Christmas dinner one year. Her parents (God rest their souls) were mortified. I remember getting my new “rabbit fur coat” quite the rage in the late 70’s out and telling her “I was ready”.
    How about a Che shirt where his picture is under the armpits?
    I have a coupld of Reagan t-shirts but may have to add a few more.

    That shirt looks like crap. Not clever at all. I wouldn’t waste my money, even to spite those that wear Che shirts.

    A percentage that’s probably very close to zero. Che attire is the dumbest of the dumb and it exposes those who wear it as sheep.

    Although, Mrs. Malkin, give Gisele a break! She’s a supermodel. She wears what she’s told!

    We have a technician who wears a Che shirt while working on spare parts for F-5 fighter jets.

    The irony is supreme.

    If you want to take lefty numbskulls to task for wearing T-shirts, I highly recommend reading Humberto Fontova’s book, “Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him“. It’s full of ammo to fire at liberal pinheads. For example, Che outlawed rock music as decadent Yankee artifact and rounded up hippies (defined as any kid with long hair wearing blue jeans) and shipped them off to the labor camp.

    And, of course, Che attempted to plant fire bombs and TNT in all the major department stores in New York City the day after Thanksgiving, when they were packed full of moms with their kids doing their Christmas shopping. Ask the mope in the Che shirt why s/he is for that? Che was the Bin Laden of the 1960s.

    You might ask them if they support Che’s stance on capital punishment, since he executed 1892 people. Che argued against evidence and jury trials as artifacts of an obsolete bourgeois society. Che said we must execute out of revolutionary conviction alone, teaching the masses how to act through the pedagogy of the firing squad.

    That’s not to say that Che liked to see so much blood spilled and wasted. He instituted a program to save uneccessary bloodshed by having condemned men, women, and children stopping on their way to their executions to have a few pints of their blood drawn. Che sold it for $50 a pint to the North Vietnamese.

    I plan to get Humberto Fontova’s book and read it. It will be good to have it all spelled out in one handy reference piece for me to share with others, instead of having to piece it all together from other sources.

    I just read the excerpt on Amazon.com for it.

    I can’t wait to get it.

    When Leftys put on there revolutionary Action Wear and think they have taken a bold stand against oppression, I get to laugh my a$$ off at their naivete. Useful idiots on the weekend, then back to the real world on Monday. Amazing…………….

    I’m waiting for my “Invasion” that I ordered with 1 day shipping. Well, I do live in SW Houston, so I’m guessing it was stolen, since it’s been 8 days.

    I don’t know, it seems like the pro-Che T-shirts should go well with a keffiyeh.

    I agree with McGusto – it’s not a clear enough statement. I prefer the simpler Che-face with the “NO” symbol over it.

    I like the t-shirt on the cover of Humberto Fontova’s book. But, I also like this one, this one and this one.

    Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with the one you like, wayiwalk.

    I recently bought a shirt from Mark Steyn’s website that has a picture of Mark in a Che-ish type beret, and it says “Viva Steyn” on it. It also has a wee little Canadian flag on the beret. It’s great because it is a picture of a true revolutionary. I highly recommend the shirts as they confuse people and you are helping Mark out with his defense fees.

    Using the term “Nurenberg defense” is pretty ridiculous. Gisele wears clothes and the Nazis murdered millions of innocent people.

    And what exactly makes her a skank? Modeling lingerie?

    Heather, the way you’re talking, you honestly sound like you hate women for wearing bikinis. Get a grip.

    I would like it if someone created a line of toilet paper with democrat faces on it.

    Che, Schumer, Waxman, Obama, Boxer, Pelosi, etc…

    Then everytime I flush, it would be like flushing them down the toilet.
