One positive thing that came out of this: Gore lost Florida because of this outrage, which cost him the election. RATS are just no damn good.
Yeah, Papa Fidel Castro.
The photo at the time told the whole story.

I wonder what that fed feels today.
Elian has clearly learned ‘right thought’.

“Even though they didn’t help me in every way possible, they didn’t help me move forward, they are still my own family”
For “not being angry at his relatives” that’s a pretty snarky comment and one that was obviously scripted by the commie media apparatchiks.
And we know Elian is telling the truth because???
If he wanted to get to the US, would he feel free to say it in Castro’s Cuba?
A boy needs to be with his father.
There is nothing more to say.
He also said to the reporters that he is happy in Cuba -- just look at this picture... It breaks your heart.
Ann Coulter said it best. “Elian Gonzalez: The Only Immigrant Liberals Ever Wanted to Deport”
I still piss off and the Clinton/Castro supporting Freepers.
Bill Clinton will burn in Hell for doing this to that child.
Lest we forget Elian's father was the one who called Lazaro Gonzalez to tell him that Elian, his mother, and others were on their way.
I remember a Russian joke that applies:
A defected Russian was asked how things were in Russia.
He said “I can’t complain.”
“The food?”
“I can’t complain.”
“The government?”
“I can’t complain.”
“The people?”
“I can’t complain.”
“So,” the reporter asked,”why did you leave Russia?”
The man said:
“Because in America, I CAN complain!!”
and his being kidnapped from hisa FATHER’s family’s home and injected with tranquilers on the flight to the Wye Plantation. THe whiole thing was like a Hitchcock movie.
It was never a custody battle. It was about Clinton selling out the cause of Cuban freedom — it even helped get Bush elected. Even liberal Cuban-Americans (read: gay, etc.) voted for Bush in Florida,
I wonder if Elian had one teleprompter or two?
Well, the main thing I imagine they convinced him of, was that it is the greediness and stingyness of the American People that is the reason Cuban children don’t get to go to Disneyland, but that they struggle on, shoulder to shoulder, in the paradise of the proletariat, against Uncle Sam and the robber baron capitalist pigs that have oppressed the cuban people lo these sixty years and Thank God for the Castro Brothers who have taken such good care of their people all this time.
Spit.
And Obama is trying the same trick. No matter how bad things get, we should always thank osama, because if the greedy robber baron capitalist running dogs were allowed to be in control, it could always be worse, and it’s their fault things are so bad in the first place. Never a thought about osama holding himself out as the individual who could fix it in the first place.
Puke.
I was a liberal at the time, and believed the father should have custody. I realized my mistake years ago... What a tragic ending. Will there ever be freedom in Cuba? Either the kid is brainwashed, or scared to tell the truth, or most likely some of each. What an immense evil the US govt did then.
