I don't know whether to laugh or cry: What's really sad is that Mr. Obama, most of the media and a good percentage of the public think more highly of Fidel Castro than Vice President Cheney!!

Castro is long overdue for a visit by the Grim Reaper.

Then he can see all the folks he and his regime TORTURED.

The Isle of Pines is a notorious prison for political prisoners, and is still in use.

Well, it does appear that Fidel does prefer to administer psychotropic drugs to children (Elian) in order to fully brainwash them into accepting communism.

Screw this excessively aged Communist murderer..
Anyone who believes Castro and his murderous bastards don’t use torture ROUTINELY should be institutionalized and denied the vote.

Why ?

Because they’ve proved themselves too stupid to vote.

Obama, most of the media and a good percentage of the public think more highly of Fidel Castro than they do of their own mothers.

Che liked to administer the coup de grace in the form of a bullet to the head and then he licked the brains off his lips and said, “mm...mm...good!”

I have read about his capture (by Felix Rodriguez) and execution. He was not as brave then.

Felix said he almost felt sorry for him when he saw the condition he was in before his execution.

He is now a good commie.

He may say that, but he does it anyway!

McCain says Cuban guards tortured him and others while they were prisoners. Castro says it didn’t happen, McCain says Castro is a liar. I’m going to believe McCain (and other prisoners) on this one.
