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?

Explain to us all, won't you, right here and now, how that is in any possible way "demonization." C'mon, we're waiting. I'm expecting you to conveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeniently remind me you're "ignoring me," which is the lame-oid's way of saying "I have no valid response to your argument so I'll pretend I didn't hear it," not unlike my 5-year-old granddaughter or my cat.

maybe not "demonization", but a form ad hominem as you are attacking the messenger not the message.

There are leaps and bounds of difference between "making fun of such that it's obvious we wouldn't ever take him seriously" and "attack."

Sometimes messengers deserve to be mocked (I'm not going to take a side this time around because I know next to nothing about beck), but it's still ad hominem.
