Apple: We Heart Che: But Beck’s a Hate Monger

Ignorant No Child Left Behind beneficiaries can now have their beloved Che Guevara on their iPhones to compliment their Che tee shirts and footie pj’s.

Humberto Fontova at American Thinker shares some evocative Che quotes that may not appear  on junior’s iPhone: 

“’My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood…Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any surrendered enemy that falls in my hands! With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!’ (From Che’s own diaries, later immortalized as The Motorcycles Diaries, though we note that executive producer Robert Redford ’overlooked’ this unquestionably dramatic citation for his movie.)’”

And who could forget this classic, perfectly capturing the spirit of the earnest young freedom fighter:

“’Hatred as the central element of our struggle!…Hatred that is intransigent….Hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold- blooded killing machine…We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish Socialism rivers of blood must flow!… The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we’ll destroy him! These hyenas (Americans) are fit only for extermination. We must keep our hatred alive and fan it to paroxysm! The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!’ (thus spake the icon of flower-children).’”

Lest you come away with the idea that Apple is lacking in any sense of decency—fear not.  Those socially responsible sensitive souls have taken a firm stand against—Glenn Beck. 

So deeply wounded are the powers that be at Apple by Beck’s “hate mongering”  that they have abandoned Fox News entirely;  a shrewd business move if ever there was one, as Fox viewership is higher than all other cable news networks combined.

Taking the principled stand against “hate speech” means giving up nearly three million viewers every night.  Apple does not want to be identified with a “racist” like Beck.

As opposed to Che, who was all about diversity:

 “’The Negro is indolent and spends his money on frivolities and booze, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent.’”

 ”’The negro has maintained his racial purity by his well known habit of avoiding baths’ (as if Che had room to talk).”

 Fontova sums up the real Che:

“Che excelled in one thing: mass murder of defenseless men. He was a Stalinist to the core, a plodding bureaucrat and a calm, cold-blooded – but again, never in actual battle – killer. Che’s true legacy is simply one of terror, murder and sniveling cowardice.”

Viva Glenn Beck!
