I'd pee on it; would be great if 10,000 pigeons bomb it

With all the Cubans in the New York area, I hope there will be a vigil at least, held at the statue, for his victims.

I guess down in hell che is not as jealous of the Obama pajamas anymore.

Guys, my deepest sorrows for this abomination to ALL your loved ones past, present, and future who have and are suffering because of this human stain. My soul bleeds for them and you.

A malignant pox upon those responsible for this travesty.

Libertad para Cuba.

Mayo Dios bendice Cuba.

Much love, my friends.

Of course they had to put up a Che statue.

Do you have any idea how much they charge for a Stalin statue nowadays?

That SOB ordered the execution of a fellow rebel and friend of mine Rene Cuervo ...

Mayor Bloomberg should also commission a Statue of Herr Hitler and a KKK louse. I mean, if he permits honours to an infamous immoral pile of crap as Che in New York....then why not Hitler and Stalin?
What an insult to the Cuban people.

And the icing on the cake is that che wasn't Cuban, he was Argentinian.

Any of the above statements made by Che Guevara could very well be written under his statue.

All of us, who know the real Che, have the responsibility to counteract this type of “subtle” socialist and communist propaganda! The symbols of the movements are introduced very cleverly in the most unsuspected ways (such as in fashion & art)with the aim to make the regular citizen “impervious” to the ugly reality they represent.

It’s difficult to defeat a “myth”, but there’s plenty of documented facts showing Che Guevara’s despicable acts and crimes against humanity!

Moral & ethical principles are not limited to individuals ... business entities, community organizations, and government agencies are bound by these principles too!

What is this a penis in the statutes mouth?

What is this a DICK in the statutes mouth?

Ziva,

Although I would not be surprised these days ... The more I look at the picture ... the more I'm wishfully thinking that this could be one of those "human living statues" that we see all over touristic areas ... the features ... face, the cigar in his mouth ... and it looks like he's wearing gloves . . . I don't know ... we'll find out soon enough ...

I wish you well :) Melek

sorry...avert your eyes. FUCK Bloomberg! How the hell did this happen without us knowing? In the same park with Marti?!? This is criminal! This shit would never have gone down with Giuliani. This is the worst shit I've seen ever.

Do I see a William Ayers statue next?

BTW, funny how they put a statue of someone that wanted to BOMB THAT CITY!

I hope Cubans in New York grab some bats and go break it to peaces.

I'm so frustrated!!!! I live all the way in California, and I may be a girl, but I would definitely, get arrested for destroying that tribute to a murderous thug! Guys and Gals, let me know when it gets taken down, the nice way or my preferred method-in pieces!!! :D

Where is it going to be placed? I'm in NJ :)

Readytoshoot, not where it will be placed, but where it is placed. Near the Doris C. Freedman Plaza in New York City’s Central Park.

I want to know as soon as its down ;D and if it's repaired, lets take down again, until they the message-No tributes for murderers!!!!

I'm with Henry Agueros, why the hell isn't there a statue of Hitler in Central Park?!?

I don't understand why organizations all over the US have goals of taking words out of common phrases or paintings or national monuments that may be offensive to some small group or other, yet they've allowed without so much as a comment this statue to be put in central park considering it has the potential to insult over 2 million people.

unfunkingbelievable!

There are Che posters the store in Madame Tussaud's in NYC. I intend to write them and complain.
I told the girl behind the counter and she said there were lots of complaints and she's angry about it, too and the only way it will be removed is if enough people complain about it.

Thanks for the tip Honey. Here is Madame Tussauds contact info:

Here's what I sent Mme. Tussaud's:

Gentlemen;

Here are a few quotes from the mass murderer Che Guevara:

“Relentless hatred of the enemy impels us over and over, and transforms us into effective and selective violent cold killing machines.”

“I feel my nostrils dilate, savoring the acrid smell of gunpowder and blood, of the enemy’s death.”

Could you please explain to me why you feel delighted to have Che posters on sale in your store? I know you have villains like Arafat in effigies on display. But why would you want to make a profit by selling posters of such a vile excuse for a human being? He decried the capitalism you use to make money for your institution.
I spent a wonderful afternoon with my children Saturday enjoying your works of art. Then I got to the store and this was the punctuation of my day. It spoiled the fun I had.
Please discard these egregious posters and never sell them again.

Just got back from a business trip to NY. The statue is on 5th Ave and E. 60th St. I saw it with my own eyes. What a disgrace!
