Um, yeah, I'd like more. People arrested under the Patriot Act -- you're willing to die for that?
Which of the Teabagger candidates has proposed dismantling the Patriot Act, btw?
Which liberal was it that re-signed the Patriot Act? Barack Obama
Which liberal was it that sought to have broader powers to spy on American Internet usage? Barack Obama
Which liberal was it that broadened the governments legal arguments with regards to agency eavesdropping? Barack Obama
So I am not seeing much in the way of liberals trying to dismantle the Patriot Act, in fact, they are making it more bullet proof but I guess in Liberal La-La Land, if a left winger does it, it is OK, but if a right winger does it, EVIL!!

There was still fighting after Castro took power. Gen. Sherman killed many confederate men after he "took power" of a fort, town, or area. The French Revoutionaries killed many after they took power. Reign of Terror was after the revolution. Are they murderers?
Isn't that the same manner Che was killed? Aren't his murderers guilty of the same thing?
100% agree, I don't see what relevance this plays as to the argument that he was a murderer. Murder is murder, doesn't matter what type of government comes afterwards.
Excuse me. You asked a question and I graciously answered it. It was not an invitation for you to change the parameters, introduce inane comparisons, change the subject, make two wrongs a right, or spout phony examples of moral equivalence.
Those executed without due process were not fighting. They were disarmed and sitting in jail cells until they were blindfolded and shot.
If you want to tout fascism, that is your business. If you believe in bloodthirsty acts like those described, that is also your business. But cease with the games and dishonesty and just come out and admit it.
I don't know anyone who LIKES Che Guevara. Or anyone who knew him. Some people might respond positively to something about him, an idea, a quote, his sense of style, whatever. That's OK, everyone (yes, even the most evil Hitler) has left something behind that people find positive. Nobody is pure good/evil, but it usually seems that way from a historical POV. Mostly it's this though:

It's not really about him, but what he symbolizes to young people.
Arguing his politics with someone with a Che sticker on their backpack is pointless. It's not a lack of education itself, but it's something time and distance and apathy creates.
