roachboy, I suspect the reaction you provoked.....yes, provoked....happened because, through no fault of your own..... you inserted your opinions and briedly blocked the "tractor beam", from the intended target of "the Mighty Wurlitzer".
Unless you live in an area like I live in....AND listen to at least an hour each day of conservative, evangelicized Salem Comm. "talk" radio, you probably are not conscious of the CONSTANT reinforcement a significant protion of the country receives each and every day....."liberal Hollywood elite.... extreme left democrat party.... here in the greatest country on god's green earth..... liberals hate america and christian values, we are defending the scanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, Bush will be regarded as one of the greatest presidents....."
Michelle Malkin, as hard as it is for us to believe....has one of the most popular weblogs on the internet.....#3, according to these rankings...... here are three examples of her campaign against "Che", linking him to Obama and Hollywood "elite". Then there is a bigger list of her commentaries which include "Che"...... and, from what we see, it works.... it's about linking "liberals" to "the otther", the demon, "Che" !

What I Saw at the Discombobulation by Michelle Malkin on Creators.com - A Syndicate Of Talent
What I Saw at the Discombobulation
DENVER — Never was so much hype created by so few to simulate the appearance of so many.
The hard-core left vowed to turn out 50,000 protesters for the Democratic National Convention this week. ....
....Finally, in a sorry attempt to re-create Abbie Hoffman's satirical stunt aimed at levitating the Pentagon, a dozen Re-create '68 stragglers dressed up like the cast of "Harry Potter," wielded magic wands and joined hands to float the Denver Mint. The Mint stayed firmly on the ground. To salvage the abysmal turnout, an unhinged contingent of 9/11 conspiracy theorists started barking at me. One buffoon shouted, "Kill Michelle Malkin," while the levitation experts chanted, "Peace and Justice!" and a wizard paraded around in his "Arrest Bush" T-shirt with Che Guevara promoters tossing fake quarters in the air.
To paraphrase a favorite left-wing bumper sticker slogan, discombobulation is the highest form of patriotism. Blame bankrupt ideology, not the altitude.

The LA Times looks into the Obama-Che iconcography connection

This is buried deep within a (worthwhile, if creepily non-judgmental and incomplete) piece about the merchandising of Che Guevara’s image, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the LA Times make the connection between the visual cult of Che and the cult of Obama:....

I get sick every time I see some aging hippie, yuppie and baby, open-borders zealot, or college punk sporting a Che shirt–or some clueless corporate retailer making a buck off of Che chic.
The Young America’s Foundation is tired of it, too. They’ve put out a poster for Freedom Week this week illustrating the victims of Che Guevara, using the moonbat iconic image of the mass murderer. Via the WashTimes:....

Target yanks Che merchandise

The Glorification of a Tyrant
by Kathryn Jean Lopez
http://media.salemwebnetwork.com/cre...08-225x200.jpg
Is a Che T-shirt on the Christmas wish list of someone you love? If you love truth, justice and basic human rights don't fulfill that request. Give your loved one a quick history lesson instead. It might not sound familiar, but you've probably seen it.
Ernesto "Che" Guevera is probably at your local mall, his mug likely on a T-shirt -- an idiotic fashion statement.
According to the founder of a company that sells Che products: "Che's image has a rock 'n' roll edge to it that we're looking for." Che is chic for the sophisticated baby -- actresses Jennifer Connelly and Kate Hudson reportedly dress their little ones in Guevera. One mom whose son wears Che told The New York Observer that 1-in-10 kids in her New York City neighborhood probably own a Che shirt. "Some people probably think it's an icon of what's cool."
Quick quiz for Jennifer, Kate and other Che customers: Who said this? "Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective and cold-blooded killing machine. This is what our soldiers must become ..." Can you say, El Che.
The henchman of Fidel Castro's "Cuban Revolution," is a romantic cult hero once described by the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sarte as "not only an intellectual, but also the most complete human being of our age." In a just world, however, a complete Che Guevera portrait would include an executioner's soundtrack. As a biographer wrote: "... Che, as supreme prosecutor, took to his task with a singular determination, and the old walls of the fort rang out nightly with the fusillades of the firing squads."
Instead, we are gagged with Che, the young, handsome doctor, whose only fault seems to be having been born with asthma. Che Guevera was killed 38 years ago and, in death, his history has been turned into a myth that culminated in the 2004 "Motorcycle Diaries," executive produced by Robert Redford . click to show
The movie was an ode to the young Che's South American journeys as a 20-something idealist. Never mind who he was to become. As writer Anthony Daniels has noted, "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.
Che Guevera attracts the same undeserved hero worship as "Uncle Fidel" Castro, who Hollywood also adores. The cult of Che only promises to grow when Oscar-winner Benicio del Toro plays him in an upcoming Steven Soderbergh movie, set to start filming in the new year.
Unfortunately, Che chic isn't a meaningless fad. It's not nothing to those who suffered or died under Che's hand. And it's not harmless when you consider those citing Che today. A presidential candidate in Bolivia -- a country where "only images of the Virgin Mary are more ubiquitous, and even then it's a close-run thing" -- recently told The New York Times Magazine, "I like Che because he fought for equality, for justice. He did not just care for ordinary people; he made their struggle his own."
Any reference to Che and "struggle" should include the labor camps and executions he inflicted on the Cuban people, and the tyranny he helped establish to oppress them. Something got severely lost in translation from firing squads to T-shirts and the Oscars.
Some people won't be fooled, though. There's a slowly growing anti-Che market out there (one that makes much more sense than fans of Marxist Che going capitalist). Hollywood even gets into the backlash a bit, with a light hand. In the January-release comedy "Grandma's Boy" (which has nothing to do with politics or revolutions), the main character is seen sporting a Che-with-Mickey-Mouse-ears T-shirt. Other Che-parody shirts on the market include one with a fake Che quote: "My ultimate goal as a socialist revolutionary was to have my face plastered on the T-shirts of rich white kids" and another with a Ronald Reagan mug in Che's place. You know, the guy who helped take down Communism instead of an avowed Communist. Counter-Che-ism, though, is still but a shadow of the pro-Che market, but it's out there.
Some smart Argentines reportedly have a saying: "Tengo una remera del Che y no se por que," or "I have a Che T-shirt and I don't know why." Next time you're at the mall, get into a discussion about why you -- or your kid -- are without one.

They spew this "stuff", as I'd imagine batshit crazy people would, roachboy, and they win elections.... It's almost as if they've convinced themselves "Che" was a more brutal terrorist and villainous thug than.... Menachem Begin.

PALIN MEETS WITH AIPAC
....Palin, joined by Sen. Joe Lieberman, expressed her "heartfelt support for Israel" and spoke of the threats it faces from Iran and others, the campaign official said.
"We had a good productive discussion on the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and we were pleased that Gov. Palin expressed her deep, personal, and lifelong commitment to the safety and well-being of Israel," AIPAC spokesman Josh Block said. "Like Sen. McCain, the vice presidential nominee understands and believes in the special friendship between the two democracies and would work to expand and deepen the strategic partnership in a McCain/Palin Administration."...
