Che Guevara Statue In Galway

Plans to erect a Che statue in Galway has caused outrage in florida.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1313568.html


I say that they should mind their own business and **** off, Che is one of the most influential figures of the 20th century and galway should be proud of it's connection to him.

Will people ever stop raping the man's image? Why dont they just put up a statue of a Nirvana smiley face next to it.

The man is a mercenary who was directly involved in or ordered the murder and torture of thousands of people in several countries.

Who's paying for this? If its the local authority, I can only remain unsurprised, their entire traffic management scheme is a giant communist plot, and played a significant role in turning me into a devout capitalist.

The Tea Party-goers in the US are up in arms over it

for this reason alone I'm in favor of the statue
