Democrats praise Castro and Communism

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21008.html



“It was almost like listening to an old friend,” said Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Il.)

“In my household I told Castro he is known as the ultimate survivor,” Rush said.

Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Ca.) said Castro was receptive to President Obama’s message of turning the page in American foreign policy. "He listened. He said the exact same thing" about turning the page "as President Obama said," said Richardson. Richardson said Castro knew her name and district. "He looked right into my eyes and he said, 'How can we help? How can we help President Obama?'"

Castro said that the delegation had expressed to him that a segment of American society “continues to be racist,” and is at least partly to blame for the travel restrictions.

SO, why is it Democrats get so googly eyed when they talk with communists? They see them as brothers and victims of the same evil namely the USA. Even the communist party in the USA sound just like the Democrat party. BUT should you point out these things well then your speaking nonsense. So explain to why the Democrats went there and why they were falling all over themselves to praise Castro and his communist government?

If the VAST majority of democrats recognize Castro as a murderer and dictator, why do they continue to elect those who do not?

As far as your "make selections like those and misrepresent them", these quotes are not misrepresentation. Look at the positive lexicon used to discribe Castro. Those sort of word choices are not mistakes. Consider the interviews done with Castro and the commentary afterwards. I'm hard pressed to find any solid examples of News personel or Democratic Party Leaders condemming Castro.

Let's address the word charisma. This word is chosen when manipulative and persuasive would have been less endearing words. Do you see how ones choice of words are important. It reflects your feelings and thoughts

Kind of like your “FUCK YOU” comments. It further validates my belief that Democrats are angry people.

Are you out of your fucking mind?

BOBBY RUSH -- represents ONE district in Chicago. I don't much like the guy but how does his district manage to become all Democrats nation-wide?

Let's address the word charisma.

Yes, let's -- heard the term "charismatic leader"? Think that historians of the Soviet Union when applying it to Stalin want us all to think of him as Cuddly Uncle Joe?

Bull. And if you are half as smart as you've previously seemed before this morning you know it.

I'm angry THIS time because you and kirk crossed a fuking line -- this isn't some nonsense accusation about domestic politics. This is claiming that the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, as a whole, loves a Communist dictator.

FUCK YOU. Seriously.

So utterly this. They either make something up whole cloth or get something from some fucking MOONBAT like Glenn Beck, and they actually think these ideas are real. It just. Boggles. The. Mind.

Heh, these guys are so marginalized now, I don't care what they do. They're like the new Jimmy Swaggert of the right, just in it for the sheer entertainment value of it (and let's face it, Fox is making a lot of money off it).
