Oh wait, it was a mistake. Oh wait, it was inadvertent. Oh wait, they got caught and are now trying to cover their sorry as$es.

So who was Che Guevara and why should anyone give a damn?

Che Guevara was a Communist revolutionary in the employ of Fidel Castro who was responsible for the murder of thousands of Cuban citizens who dared question the glorious Communist revolution into the Cuban Communist Workers Paradise.

Che Guevara is also the little Communist shiiithead who pleaded with the now defunct Soviet Union to launch a nuclear missile strike on NY City.

That's who Che Guevara was.

So why is Che Guevara revered by the US EPA and his photo emailed agency wide to EPA employees to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month?

Perhaps a reporter with some balls should ask our little Marxist Messiah pres, O'Bomber that question...and also ask O'Bomber why a Communist Chinese flag and Che Guevara poster adorned the walls of one of his field campaign offices in Texas in the 2008 presidential election campaign...just for starters.

EPA: Staff-wide Che Guevara email an ‘inadvertent error’

Environmental Protection Agency staff opened their inboxes Thursday to find an agency-wide Hispanic Heritage Month email featuring a prominent picture of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, and largely plagiarized from the website Buzzle.com.

According to the EPA, the email — which heralded the beginning Hispanic Heritage Month on Saturday and offered cultural details about Hispanics — was an accident and the employee responsible has apologized.

“The email was drafted and sent by an individual employee, and without official clearance. Shortly after sending the email in question the individual apologized to her colleagues for the inadvertent error,” an EPA spokesman emailed TheDC in a statement.

While it was a mistake, the email caught the eye and ire of Foreign Relations Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen who called the image of Guevara “insulting.”

“I am aghast and upset that a federal agency would send an email depicting el Che Guevara in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. This Administration just doesn’t seem to get it,” Ros-Lehtinen said in a statement.

“The image of Che is an insult to countless people who lost family members because of his evil and twisted acts. El Che was a blood thirsty, vengeful, cowardly, sadistic, two bit delinquent who used his position as enforcer in chief of the Castro brothers to send countless innocent persons before the firing squads.”

Florida Republican Rep. David Rivera expressed similar sentiments.

“Americans of Hispanic descent have made important and valuable contributions to this country throughout generations,” Rivera said in a statement. “It is nonsensical and extremely disheartening that the EPA chose to showcase a killer as part of their celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. At best this is further proof of how out of step and tone deaf the Obama Administration is with the Hispanic-American community.”

Fox News Latino reported that some Florida state representatives were also upset, saying they were “insulted” and “outraged” by the memo.

funny, i remember reading about how the latin american conference was marred by america's refusal to allow cuba to participate. it would, the report said, be the last time, according to the LATIN-AMERICAN leaders.

so how does this equate with all this "kowtowing" to cuban officials? could that perhaps be due to the new regime being interested in moving away from a lot of fidel's heavy-handed dictatorship?

i remember many latinos considering che a hero.

i also note that many americans consider our active trashing of middle east countries as being in their best interests. and it is perfectly all right for us to treat political prisoners like deadly snakes...

war is murder. MOSTLY murder of innocents and dissenters. as in cuba, so in iraq, afghanistan, and countless other countries where we have played chess with human lives.

you yourself thought it our DUTY to get the monster hussein out of iraq so the people could be better off.

just so happens that a lot of cubans didn't like the way things were before, with cuba a vacation resort and puppet state to others...
