Looks do matter. If Che had been ugly there would be few Che T-shirts.
When was the last time you saw someone wearing a Karl Marx t shirt? This is not unique to Che. Do you think Elvis, James Dean, JFK, or Marilyn Monroe would be as popular if they were ugly?

well if rich liberals are cheering the demons that took over cuba and turned it into a hell hole of poverty and even worse corruption than b4, then they yearn for the slitting of their own throats which is what would happen if that stuff ever got a foothold here. btw did you see the dunbar high school" take back our freedom" rally? a whole lota hate and envy.
however to be fair to al sharpton i loved the speech on
"young black men, pull up your pants and put down your gun."

Actually, he was a communist. The two are significantly different.

Very rarely. Although there is a popular stereotype of Marxists looking like Karl himself.

True. Dean, Presley, and Monroe would not have had careers at all if they'd been ugly. Kennedy probably wouldn't have been president although he would have had a political career. You don't need to be good looking to get to the US Senate.

You didn't get the marching orders from the right wing leaders. Here it is.

Communist = liberals
Hitler was a liberal because he didn't eat meat
therefore, Hitler was a Communist.

You lost all credibility by saying " I do not know of any libs who like Che Guevara"

The same with Nelson Mandela. That guy was a killer too. He and his wife would "necklace" their political opponents with a burning tire place around the neck.

Default Why do Libs like che guevara

I have no doubt that if he were still alive today, O would embrace him happily and exchange gifts.

Helluva photo-op lost to history.

Do you really think that Liberals don't read? That they get a kick out of associating with mass murderers? That they do such associating because they are inherently evil and morally bankrupt?

A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man's heart directs him toward the left. Even when the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking and he demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool.

PS... Moral bankruptcy seems to be a self serving virtue to many progressive liberals these days.

Considering that Solomon wrote this 3000 years ago, one must wonder how it fits so perfectly with the absolute insanity of the left lately.

So to answer your questions I'd have to say, Yes. Probably not in that context because it would be far too transparant and the last thing most liberals want is to have their true intentions exposed. Absolutely and without a doubt.

Moral bankruptcy seems to be a self serving virtue for many progressives wouldn't you say? Save a tree but kill a baby, copulation in any available orifice=civil right, force the working people to pay for the lazy social programs even if it means bankrupting the US, redistribution of wealth rather than teaching effort and hard work. It's all morally vial and corrupt IMHO

But each are equally as bad as the other.
