Mugshot of a Murderer
FROM FRONTPAGEMAG.COM:
Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Patrick X. Coyle, the vice president of Young America's Foundation. Human Events named Mr. Coyle one of the top ten young conservative activists in the nation, citing his success in bringing thousands of high profile conservative speakers to college campuses. He is also co-editor with Foundation president Ron Robinson of The Conservative Guide to Campus Activism and he wrote the Campus Conservative Battleplan, both of which are published by Young America's Foundation. His success has made him a target of a radical leftist website that has published his home address and phone number in an attempt to stop his conservative activism.

FP: Patrick X. Coyle, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
Coyle: Thanks for the opportunity.
FP: Tell us about the “Victims of Che” poster. Who devised the idea and what occasion helped launch it? (To view the poster, click here.)

Coyle: Young America’s Foundation president Ron Robinson, came up with the idea, and we then worked with Humberto Fontova, author of Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him, to secure the photos that are used in the poster. All of the photographs used are of individuals who were murdered by Che and the Cuban regime.
We decided to launch the poster in conjunction with Freedom Week 2007. Each year Young America's Foundation helps students mark the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and Veterans Day with activities that remind students of the failures of progressive ideas and how to honor those who have died protecting our freedom. We sent copies of this poster, free of charge, to more than 120 campuses participating in Freedom Week to expose the real Che Guevara.
FP: Che is obviously an icon on American campuses. What reaction did you get when the posters started going up across the country?
Coyle: We have received an enthusiastic response not just from students on college campuses in the United States but also from people around the world. We have received requests for the poster from Spain, France, and South America. Many have requested that we translate the poster into Spanish for wider distribution in Latin America.
FP: Expand for us on what the poster says and tell us more about Che – who he was and his crimes.
Coyle: Che was a murderer. He killed his friends who didn’t completely reject democratic ideals; he supported Castro’s violent revolution of Cuba; he murdered children, without trial, in his guerilla camps for stealing food, and he authored the book Guerilla Warfare, where he explains the best methods to murder people. He said, “The solution to the world’s problems can be found behind the iron curtain.” This is the same Iron Curtain that forced people into a “gulag” existence. These facts need to be brought out, and young people need to be educated about Che Guevara’s fight to bring communism to South America.
