Oh Great - does that mean, now that we have a weakened, toothless, irrelevent dictator - that our hero and Chimpster and Chief is gonna bring Democracy to Cuba?

Wonder if the TFM crowd will go for this one too.

Crap. Vic Snyder is going to have to go back to Cuba to get his picture taken with Raul.

This is a big worry. Bush-Cheney need a victory bad, I mean really really badly. With Castro in the hospital, it might seem to President Cheney that this is the perfect time to move on Cuba.

Only being 90 miles off our coast and close to Florida's thriving dinner theater biz, Cheney could quickly hire enough actors to make it look like our troops were being greeted as liberators, lots of flowers, big cigars and We Love America conga lines.

Never give a neo-con an inch, they'll take a country. They better act fast in case old Fidel gets out of the hospital ahead of time. George Bush was in the 4th grade when Castro came to power back in 1959. President Cheney was busy getting deferments from duty as a patrol boy. Castro can whip them both with one arm behind him and a catheter dragging the ground.

Someone check with the Minute Men and see if Halliburton is moving trucks towards Florida. Castro's best bet would be for a hurricane to blow up real quick. We all know Bush-Cheney won't show up for days. Think how the oppressed people of Cuba will love us when each of them receive a free FEMA trailer with the invasion.

I spent the night in Havana as a child and would love the chance to return and look for my chewing gum. Let's roll!

Who is this Raul character...can we play cards again, or what?!

A victory can come when they End the 45 year embargo on Cuba

A victory against terrorism will also win when the US arrests Orlando Bausch convicted of killing 78 People on Cubana Flight 478. Instead of letting him live freely in Florida or How about the 600 Assassination attempts on Castro.

Or what about the 3373 lives that the US took since 1961. Plus all the lives lost in from all the economic Sanctions blocking all Medical supplies.

We should have a Hall of Fame for excellent posts.

This is DBI's shot. Time for him to move to Havana to be with his fellow comrades in their hour of great need. Perhaps he could take Howard Dean's illegitimate son, Jason Willit, with him?

"Castro can whip them both with one arm behind him and a catheter dragging the ground."

ONE OF YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST!

DBI was obviously referring to the party days of Havanna.

Willit bother you to get a new brain, or just a brain for openers.

I'll be glad when the murdering son of a bitch is dead and burning in hell. An ex-girlfriend of mine was the daughter of a Castro survivor. Having heard first hand the real stories of what happened in Cuba at the hands of this SOB, I can tell you the embargo has been justified.

The Us has taken more than 3373 lives (or are you talking just in Cuba)

It wouldn't be wise to attack a nation so close to our own country...not if we want to maintain the illusion that the US is a safe country to do business. The violence will easily travel to Florida and other parts of the US-not a good thing.
Besides, it would be wrong.

After reading other reader's comments, it only goes to show that only fools post comments. Hey, wait a minute!

"Crap. Vic Snyder is going to have to go back to Cuba to get his picture taken with Raul."

No, they can use the space to print the picture of Bush holdin hands with the Saudi prince.

Maybe God can do what that foolish boycott for 8 American presidenrs couldn't do.

It is stupid to give up a market for US goods 90 miles off the US mainland and trade openly with China and Viet-Nam.

Castro hasn't missed a meal but his people have missed plenty.

"Castro hasn't missed a meal but his people have missed plenty."

His people? Well I guess if they have put up with him all these years then perhaps they are his.

And yes, they have missed plenty. They've missed their freedom. They've missed their family members murdered by Castro.

Cuba trades with everyone but us so don't try to blame the embargo on the plight of those Cubans. They are suffering because of Castro.

For all of Fidel Castro's faults, and there are plenty, he has kept Cuba from becoming an offshore American whorehouse. That is why the nationalist lunatics of Idiot Nation U.S.A. hate him so.

It is a shame for a nation that will trade with the most repugnant dictators on earth to continue to screw with a little third world nation off our borders. We can't get enough of China. We supported Saddam for a long while. Etc. etc.

I guess you moon bats will be really upset when he croaks.

Yep-- they cry for tookie williams (drug dealing founder of the crips), they cry for zarqawi (al qaeda #2 in command), they cry for castro (murderous dictator)..

THEN they laugh about ken lay (embezzeler, but hey he's rich and white!) and they say "hm, that's strange" to Paul Eels dying!!!! (check the other page)

You libs will be the reason America falls; not to an outside army, but to internal nutjobs

Wait wait I take that back -- you WON'T overrun this country because 1) you don't have children, 2) when you are pregnant you abort them

I feel safer now.

Ok, gotta go, I need to go mourn my hero Tookie Williams & Castro some more.

Bush has killed more people than Castro and assumed many dictatorial rights of executive privilege.

The people that support him -- hate America.

End.Of.Thread.

I didn't realize that all of the "anons" were gettig their kool-aid twice a day. Must wear off and they start to react in a rational manner so quick, give them another shot so they see the similarity between China, Viet-Nam and the US and see how different all these democracies are from Cuba.

I guess we wil give the Repubs their 38% of the vote. That is what happens when you open up the mental health hospitals and turn them out on the street. Apparently, they have lost the ability to think for themselves but don't worry, I understand that Rove will be emailing their instructions to faux News at 8:00 am CDT.

Would it not be good, friends, to have our conservative rich ruling class pigs up against a wall, blindfolded?

Power to the people!

None of you moon bats would want to spend a minute under this guy's rule. The first smart alec remarks from your lips would land you in one of his 'reeducation camps' and you wouldn't like that. Dictators have a tendency to use an iron hand on those who don't agree with them and he is no exception.

I admire Castro, I do not admire Bush. Castro is not a hypocrite Bush is. Its OK for Bush to invite the Chinese President Hu Jintao to the White House but Bush maintains the 45 year crushing imbargo on Cuba and Castro.
China is the world's biggest and most powerful communist nation. As I said Bush is a hypocrite , Castro is not.

Does anyone doubt that Castro would make a more effective president than Bush? He's smarter, more strategic, a better communicator and judge of people. Castro worked his way up from nothing. Bush was born into an elite Northeastern Ivy League family.

Castro has survived for 40 or 50 years with the largest most powerful nation on earth pissed off at him. Bush can't manage the invasion of a third world nation.

Socialism may not be the best economic structure, but by God Castro is down there trying to make it work. Up here, G.W. is running the best capitalistic structure ever into the ground.

I love it when y'alls true, anti-american colors come out.

Your true colors. Not too pretty. Most of you leftist would overthrow our government in a minute.

You are traitors, you have no regard for human life and you have no respect for our Constitution.

Old Comrade Vic Snyder could go on down there and take over. He would finally have his dream job of running a communist state. Plus...we would finally be rid of him.

from "Motorpsycho Nightmare"

I had to say something
To strike him very weird,
So I yelled out,
"I like Fidel Castro and his beard."
Rita looked offended
But she got out of the way,
As he came charging down the stairs
Sayin', "What's that I heard you say?"

I said, "I like Fidel Castro,
I think you heard me right,"
And ducked as he swung
At me with all his might.
Rita mumbled something
'Bout her mother on the hill,
As his fist hit the icebox,
He said he's going to kill me
If I don't get out the door
In two seconds flat,
"You unpatriotic,
Rotten doctor Commie rat."

Well, he threw a Reader's Digest
At my head and I did run,
I did a somersault
As I seen him get his gun
And crashed through the window
At a hundred miles an hour,
And landed fully blast
In his garden flowers.
Rita said, "Come back!"
As he started to load
The sun was comin' up
And I was runnin' down the road.

Well, I don't figure I'll be back
There for a spell,
Even though Rita moved away
And got a job in a motel.
He still waits for me,
Constant, on the sly.
He wants to turn me in
To the F.B.I.
Me, I romp and stomp,
Thankful as I romp,
Without freedom of speech,
I might be in the swamp.

It is treason of the highest magnitude to say the emperor has clothes when in fact he does not. To be blind to Bush's failures and faults is to place party loyalty over patriotism.

Hooray! Idiot anon 9:40 finally learned how to spell comrade.

Damn...it's hot out. I can't wait for my support check to come in so I can go buy me a cold "40". I'll just crank up the a c since I don't have to pay for anything.

Thanks for the ride hard-working, 6-figure-earning, tax-paying, socialist-supporting, bushAmuricuh-loving patriots. I'm gonna go smoke me a Cohiba now and wait for the postman. Vic gave it to me when the baby was born to that woman with the different last name.

Hugh... brother! My support check should be here any minute now- let's you an me go to Tunica. We'll cuss hard working, tax paying patriots on the way down. Then we'll get ripped on tax money!!

You'll need to find your own way home though- I need to call immigration on myself so they'll deport me home for my nephew's wedding.

Get ready, Cubans, for the Capitalist Cowboys of BushCo Amerika to descend on you like a cloud of locusts. If you think you've had it rough for the past 47 years, wait until you lose your health care and try to live on the slave wages they dole out. Oh, and watch them turn your island into a filthy trash dump in a matter of months.

Home is just a state-of-mind, TJ, so I don't worry about getting a ride back to anything. No need to spend our hard-earned (well, you know what I mean) support money on booze, though. In Tunica as long as you're playing they'll bring you free drinks.

My best to your nephew and his bride.

Veevah Coobah

Those who have anything remotely good to say about Castro are ignorant of how he got power and kept it. He's a murdering sob. I don't like our trading with China either, but please learn the facts about Castro and what all he has done over the past 50 years.

Also one day our government will let you all in on a classified secret. Castro had JFK killed.

Hugh Mann..you are a disgusting communist welfare cheat and a disgrace to your race. Does your parole officer know you are not looking for a job?

Ouch

Socialism is great for the poor but dictators like Castro don't share in it. They accumulate vast amounts of wealth and live high on the hog embracing capitalism.

News from my Cuban friend in NYC:

"Some Cubans in the Miami area think he's already kicked the bucket....Some Cubans think it's a ruse. Cubans who have called their families on the island are being told that people are afraid to leave their homes, and that they see substantial movement of police and troops. It's more than likely that the government is seeking to squelch the idea of a counter-revolutionary uprising before it even enters people's minds. "

I say....let's get some champagne chilled.

The difference with the US is that our politicians also get rich but we don't treat our poor as well.

"The difference with the US is that our politicians also get rich but we don't treat our poor as well."

How's that? Do you consider murder and starvation treating the poor well? I guess you don't care that you are poor when you are dead.
History does not view communist very well. From Stalin, to Pol Pot, to modern China. Millions have died needlessly under communist regimes.

The U.S. murdered 1 to 3 million Filipinos following the Spanish-American War, so what's your point, Dead men do tell tells (sic)?

Yes, but is ok for a leftist regimes to murder their people. As long as the leftist dictator mouths the correct rhetoric it is ok with the american left. The only deaths they are concerned about are those done by right wing regimes. Hitler was a monster but Stalin was ok even though Stalin was responsible for far more deaths of his own people.

That is complete and utter horseshit and even you know it. From Noam Chomsky to Earth First!, find me one- just one- "leftist" who thinks Stalin, Pol Pot, etc were "OK." Don't drag up some ignorant SDS statement from 1968, either- give me a quote from the last ten years.

Can't do it, can you? Then you're just a liar.

All I hear from moon bats is how Bush is a murderer and how Castro is such a saint. I have NEVER heard any condemnation by the left concerning any leftist atrocity. Pol Pott and Stalin are only two examples. What happened in Vietnam after the North took over was nothing short of an atrocity but all of the leftist who were so vehement in their condemnation of the US during the war said NOTHING. I'm old enough to remember.

"Tells (sic)". Nope, no (sic), that is an intetional speallig as a "tell" in poker? A tell is where someone unintentionally gives away the truth. It was a word play but I should have known that anyone who thinks Castro is good people (yes, that's not proper grammer but it is Arkansas speak) wouldn't catch the joke. So go ahead, put a (sic) out there and sit back all smug and think how smart you are.

Liar.

OK, post one example of a "leftist" saying Castro is a saint.

"Help this man, Saint Castro. His googling skills will soon be severely tested. By the power of the resurrected Cadillac, I beg you to let a quote about you be known."

HELLO!!!! The issue is that the left says NOTHING when leftist atrocities occur. They are not silent about right wing regimes. Capise?

prove it.

liar.

How do you prove a premise that the left does not condem leftist atrocities? You must be a NYT subscriber. Show me a condemnation on their part of a leftist atrocity that appeared on the front page. Buried in the obit section doesn't count.

I was a leftist once and I know their tactics. They hyper-inflate and fantasize about what the rightist regimes do but conveniently ignore the barbarism of the left. How much play did leftist publications give to the forced abortions in China or the imprisonment of Chinese Christians for practicing their religion. This is only ONE example.

Don't ask me to prove your bullshit. You put for the proposition that leftists think it's OK for Stalin and Pol Pot to kill people, so I'm supposed to go and do your homework when I call your bullshit bullshit?

You got nothing. See, what you call the "left" is millions of democrats, greens, independents, progressives, and yes, even socialists. There are few communist sympathisers or apologists remaining, and they are not representative of any majority. There is no monolithic "left" associated with communism except in your tiny, zenophobic mind. And I haven't heard from anyone who thinks genocide or politically motivated atrocities are acceptable, except maybe Ann Coulter.

Aren't you missing something on Fox news or something?

When I called Castro a 'saint' I obviously had my tongue in my cheek but for the sake of the moon bats I'll try to speak less figuratively. Couldn't find any examples in the NYT, huh? Don't try, you won't.

OK here's this:

Fidel Castro is a brutal dictator who has been the bane of Cubans for 40 years.

Forced abortions and religious persecution in China is deplorable and inhumane. Any decent human being abhors such practices.

See? There, I said it. And I'm a "leftist." George Bush is still evil, though. He's the worst president in American history, and no amount of condemnation of international police state practices will change that. Nothing new here.

If only you could get the 99.99% of the rest of your leftist brothers and sisters to do the same. Nice try, moon bat. The NYT just won't help you out.

That's Mr. Moon Bat to you. Good day, sir!

"That's Mr. Moon Bat to you. Good day, sir!"

Good day to you too. Have a nice flight.

Well, well....salivating over Castro's impending doom is breaking out all over. The wingnuts thinks when the great Satan south of us dies Cuba will break out in McDonald's and big Baptist Churches and Halliburton will rebuild right and left to the glory of Cheney.

No wonder the Rapture crowd has their bags packed. The wingnuts see all the heaping piles of shit and just know there's a pony somewhere. All our problems will be over if Castro will just cough up a lung and die. Guess his little brother, who has been at his side the last 50 years will just run for the hills with Fidel's last breath. How convenient! As the church lady used to say.

I'd make a deal though. If Bush-Cheney will bring our troops home from Iraq next week, I'll wave a flag when we send them to invade Cuba when old Fidel dies. Do I have any takers?

I can see driving my old Ford across a very long bridge at Key West on my way to Havana in 2016. Sounds like a big party to me. Will anyone trade me Iraq for Cuba?

Can't invade Cuba. Kennedy promised that we wouldn't. That promise was made before they got Oswald to do a little job for them.

Just One Thing, im a Humanitarian Leftist like Ghandi, Chomsky, Martin Luther King. Not a Authoritarian Leftist like Castro, Stalin or Kim Jong Il.

But i do Admire Castro on resisting American Foreign Policy, Copying the American model of Independence. Thats When American elites got angry and Manufacture an Enemy for the Gullible American public. So they can Protect the interests of the rich.

Wikipedia the Monroe Doctrine if you dont believe me. Such as "America for the Americans." Which kind of Relates to the Domino theory. When Grassroots Activists call for a rise in Standard of living. They will usually be suppressed by
Hegemonic Superpowers, such as the US France or Britain.

Cuba is a 2nd world country. Not a 3rd world. But much like the 3rd world cause of the Sanctions imposed on them. They are not going through Capitalist reform.

"prove it." -read some Noam Chomsky or some wikipedia. He will lecture you in All kinds of Attrocities that are taking place all over the world. Agree or disagree with him You cant Argue with Fact.

Chomsky sucks!

I doubt you will approve my ocmments, but it needed to be said :(

That's funny . . . a website with the purpose of cutting down Noam Chomsky. I'm lucky to get called a comrad (sic) by the same bored and probably paid troll over and over on here.

Howdy George. You've illustrated the continuum bounded by humanitarianism and authoritarianism. Funny how some people just call a guy a leftist.

Max (I know you're on vacation) and Warwick,

I'm ready for a change. I don't really care what kind of bells, whistles, avatars, or such the AT blog employs, but honestly, a registration might be an improvement to the experience. Leave the ability to post links and bring back the email address option.

Link = what's wrong with America

It appears that the moon bats can't handle opposition.

Castro is and always has been just another tin pot dictator.

No one -- EVER should "Get their info from WIkipedia"

ANYONE can edit wikipedia.... it's about as accurate or trustworthy as reading news from the wall in a bathroom stall or a port-a-pottie.

Try it. Go change Mike Huckabee's name to "Jimbo Huckabee" or something... see? It works! It's NOT an encyclopedia!!!

Wikipedia sucks!

First of all you should be open minded on a news post, not close minded.

Second of all, How does Noam Chomsky suck? Not all humans are perfect and mot all humans are intelligent. But chomsky has probably up to 95% of the things that he says is correct, by rationalization which is through your heart and your mind to find a conclusion.

Thirdly i can tell you to read Manufacturing Consent and documents that correlate between controlling peoples minds. That controlling peoples minds in democratic societies were important such examples were that of England and France, and Agrarian Tax reforms.

Concerning Wikipedia and the Monroe doctrine, If you have an account and you dont trust Wikipedia, Go to Encyclopedia Britannica Online. Get a free trial, They almost have word for word.

I dont know how im crazy its just a pattern of Rationalization which all Sane people have. But if you choose to believe or not to believe its up to you. But usually not wise, when discussing this with the rest of the population on the planet
