Right finds peace in war against Obama

Definitions of peace largely assume that it must revolve around an end to conflict or hostilities. The kind of peace the Nobel Prize Committee rewards has always stood out as a more organic whole than simply the humanitarian vibes that immediately follow human conflict--freakin' Ghandi never even won a Nobel Peace Prize despite five nominations.

Protest of Che Guevara misguided

On Tuesday, I was very pleased reading Paul Murty's guest column, "Che is a hero, not a terrorist." This article, the superb cover story on the National Equality March and the report back on Hugo Chavez' health care campaigns in Venezuela made for a very progressive issue that made my day a happy one. In response to Friday's anti-Che Guevara rally, my friends and I hastily organized a counter-demonstration, using a flag with Guevara's portrait and the slogan "Hasta la victoria siempre" scrolled at the bottom.

Alligator shows socialist slant

By reading today's Alligator, it seems that the paper should be renamed Granma UF or The Socialist Newsletter of Gator Comrades. The International Socialist Organization was prominently quoted in one article without a counter position from a group that may not support their issue. Another article positively framed an event about a health clinic set up by Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez without mentioning that he has stolen land without payment, a la Cuba's Fidel Castro, has nationalized private businesses and has shut down more than 50 private radio stations, television stations and newspapers critical of his totalitarian tactics. And the kicker was the opinion column calling Che Guevara a "hero" with laughable propaganda that failed to mention Guevara's death squads of innocent Cubans. The Alligator's motto "We Inform. You Decide." should be changed to "We Indoctrinate. You Obey."
