Why do intellectuals and celebrities think that mass murderers are so cool

A shout-out to Amid Clutter for lowering the boom on those who think Che Guevara is cool.

Why do intellectuals (so called) and celebrities think that mass murderers are so cool...as long as they're the "right" mass murders? i.e. Mao, Marx, and Che. Hitler isn't as cool apparently because he was just so damn obvious about his atrocities. Plus he lost this brutal war, you know.

Great post.
