Nick Gillespie Discusses Che Guevara on Glenn Beck
Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie appeared in a special, hour-long Glenn Beck Show documentary called "The Revolutionary Holocaust: Live Free...Or Die," which examines the historical atrocities of communist and socialist governments in the 20th century and the persistence of their leaders--especially Che Guevara and Mao Zedong--as cultural icons adorning T-shirts, liquor bottles, and other kitsch items. Gillespie discusses Che Guevara's role in the murderous Castro regime and demystifies a violent figure whose image is never more than a political rally, a Hollywood awards show, or even a greeting card away.

Dear Nick, I typically enjoy your work, but on Che unfortunately I think your work deserves some correction.
I have gathered all the locations where your ideas need probably to be reviewed in one video:

I just find it unfortunate to look at people (especially those who pretend to sit on the "libertarian" end of the social spectrum) destroy the only real liberty/freedom fighter of the 20th century and be so off on his subject (by such a complete distance). Feel free to ask questions or to send comments - I hope we can all correct this very weird and so wrong reputation Guevara is getting with time around the globe.
