I completely agree with Glen Beck's claims to how ridiculous it is having Che Guevara T-shirts and a movie in the works. He is being idolized right now through Hollywood and the media with people not knowing who he is or what he has done. The author Humberto Fontova was the guest on Glen Beck's show and he referred to Che as being worse than Hitler and Stalin. Beck compared wearing a shirt with Che's picture on it would be like wearing a shirt with a picture of Hitler on it. People just don't do that. Instead of him living in infamy, the Hollywood is almost glorifying his existence. Throughout the interview Beck speaks his mind on how he truly feels towards Che. He uses a sarcastic tone when describing how dumb the people that put him up on a pedestal without knowing the history behind him. I feel like the ignorant should be made knowledgeable for whom they are endorsing. Even though we cannot control speech, we can set guidelines and enforce them.
I wish I knew more about Che Guevara so I can have a stronger opinion. But it looks like Che isn't someone who should be idolized in any way or looked up to. I think people these days are very ignorant to what has happened in the past and have false impressions of people like Che Guevara.
