You state that Humberto Fontova, someone who lived under the Cuban government, to be somehow unworthy of listening to. Umm...why? His scholarship on Che is extensive.
1. I never stated anything. I clearly stated the quotes were from replies to the article you submitted.2. I would have to believe that Mr. Fontova's (a Cuban exile) opinion to be highly biased.

So, in short, your other arguments are nearly as worthless as relying o the Cuban Ministry of Justice. Haahaahaaa -- that's still funny!
I guess because it is not your country then that means their government is wrong.In closing, it is obvious your mind will not be changed and that is not my intention,
but to not allow others to make up their own mind is the exact thing you seem to be
complaining about. The continued misinformation and extremist belief that all must
believe your individual twisted representation of the truth, and only yours (and that of
a cuban exile and a random amazon reviewer) is fascist to the core.
Just sit back, pour another glass of kool-aid, turn on faux news, put on some
John Lee Hooker (or is that Jon Lee Anderson) and dream about how good
the 'merika dream was when dubya was president. Because if they say
bombing innocents and innocence is ok then it must be. And whatever you do,
do not look behind the curtain.
(and before you get any ideas...I am not a fan of obumba either...the last 2 have
helped wreck the US more than can be repaired for decades to come,
but the beginning of the problem was a century ago)
I am unsure you know what fascist means. You are aware that Che was a huge admirer of fascists aren't you? You are also aware that all fascists are socialists, aren't you? I mean you do have some vague idea who you are defending here don't you?
Isn't calling me a fascist a compliment from your perspective?
Yes, Jon Lee Anderson's biography needn't be read in full (so I will save you some time!) as there are quotes and passages all over this thing called the internet which describes exactly what I wrote. I don't understand what you are trying to get at. (Oh, and yes, I would prefer John Lee Hooker to Jon Lee Anderson any day!).
You state that Humberto Fontova is highly biased because he is an exile. By that logic the Jews that escaped National Socialism Workers party (NAZI) running Germany were not to believed either? Is that your position? On second thought, I guess I already know your position, so no need to answer that one! Scary.
It is apparent your reading comprehension is severely lacking and most likely why you continue to be confused.
I never said believed. I said biased. Also, comparison of Hitler to Che is asinine. This coin's imagery represents
many revolutions including the US. I guess the US should have never revolted..is that what you are saying? because
it sure sounds like it. So let me get this straight. You say believe only what you say and the very select minority
agreeing with your opinion, that only your country's gub'ment is correct and if someone disagrees then they are
to be lied about and portrayed as an anti-semitic. All the while, not presenting 3rd party sources of information for
an open discussion.
If that is not fascism's core then I don't know what is.
On the wiki page for fascism, Che is mentioned zero times...Castro is mentioned once to show that your opinion is incorrect:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
Contrary to the popular use of the term, Communist states have sometimes been referred to as "fascist", typically as an insult. Marxist interpretations of the term have, for example, been applied in relation to Cuba under Fidel Castro and Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh.[57] Herbert Matthews, of the New York Times asked "Should we now place Stalinist Russia in the same category as Hitlerite Germany? Should we say that she is Fascist?"[58] J. Edgar Hoover wrote extensively of "Red Fascism".[59] Chinese Marxists used the term to denounce the Soviet Union during the Sino-Soviet Split, and likewise, the Soviets used the term to identify Chinese Marxists.[60]
On amazon reviews for the book (4 stars), within the 16 reviews of the front page, There is only one review that mentions murder.
Can you do that math? But I guess they are all left wing reviewers as well. It is a big conspiracy I guess.

And, again, leave out all the quotes where you continue to be proven wrong time and time again.
You sound like a "right wing" war hawk rhino. And if you didn't know, they are farther left than Kennedy was.
I bet you were for the patriot act too...well, because it said patriot it must be good. Your world policing ideas and mass murder that I am sure you defend are far worse. Where's the yellow cake?
I bet you believe the stories about the poppy growth explosion in Afghanistan being attributed to the US not having a big enough presence there as well.
I don't believe you would know what the US Constitution meant if it was read out loud to you, slowly.
Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none. -Thomas Jefferson
The problem with baby boomers is they can't admit that what they believed and taught their children was for the most part lies and disinformation because they couldn't read between the lines. And certainly would not question their gub'ment...just anyone else's.
Close the door on your way out.
Baaaa
