That's it?...

No opinion on what he THINKS about it?...No condemnation?...No thoughts on how dissapponted he is that a volunteer would support a sick, twisted killer and commited enemy of the United States while doing work for him?...

The fact that he doesn't mention these things tells us a helluva lot more than what's written...

But maybe this should've been expected from a guy who refuses to wear the American Flag pin...
What's wrong with politicians being a politically and ideologically matured? Che supported the common good of Cuban workers when he was still alive.

Check. I get your point. Che Guevarra was never a terrorist and never will be.

Actually, I never said he didn't take part in terrorist activities. History says he was a terrorist as well as a revolutionary. I am simply stating that many latinos don't see it that way.

Technically, if you look at our (American) combat tactics in the Revolutionary War, they were considered outside the scope of accepted warfare: terrorism. Yet we called ourselves revolutionaries because at the end of the day, that's what we were. I think that many latinos see Che the same way. However, from America's view, he was a terrorist just like to King George, American colonials were terrorists.

I'm going out on a limb here. But I'll bet Obama has never met Che. Do you think this story was put out by Hillary or the right wing whack jobs?

What ever happened to giving a fellow American a fair shake? And when do these attacks become unAmerican? I have questions about Obama. But I don't have to invent straw men. Is he Muslim? What about his middle name? Blah blah blah. Now Che? Please.
