NY Dem: ‘All My Heroes Were America’s Enemies’

New York City councilman and State Assembly shoo-in Charles Barron has reiterated his admiration of dictators and said he hopes to host one of them — Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe — in the states … again.

“I would love for him to come to Albany. I would love for him to come anywhere in the United States, really,” Barron said in a recent interview with the New York Observer. “I think he’s a shining example of an African leader on the African continent.”

Barron famously hosted Mugabe as city councilman in 2002.

Mugabe took control of Zimbabwe in 1983 and instituted martial law in 1987. He rose to power after starting an ethnic cleansing in which tens of thousands of people were murdered, the Observer reports. Barron praised him because he seized land from white landowners and redistributed it to black Africans.

“No one’s perfect,” Barron told the Observer. “I see him as a freedom fighter.”

Barron has expressed support for dictators around the world, including Libyan dictator Muammar el-Quaddafi and Cuba’s former president Fidel Castro.

He told the Observer, “All my heroes were America’s enemies.”

Barron is expected to beat his Republican opponent for a New York Assembly seat handily. The Observer reports that he is running to replace his wife in the Assembly, who in turn is replacing him as city councilman.

Democrats are enemies of America.

That has been known for a long time.

Mugabe! A Freedom fighter? With all that blood on his hands? Harrumph!
The ends justifies the means to these lower form humans, I suppose.

No, they’re simply brazen. They know they are untouchable.

They have a traitor at the helm, and nobody is doing a damned thing about him.

They are not hiding there real views anymore. A statement like this in the past was a sure loser. Now, it is arrogance unbridled.

This sort of thing goes over big in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and California.

"There is only one color allowed in Zimbabwe, and it is black," he said. "I banned the color white in my country. Nelson Mandela told all the white people to stay in his ridiculous rainbow nation. He should have thrown all of the whites and homosexuals out of his country like I did. South Africa would be so much better off." Mugabe quote

So why would Mugabe come to America? Is he running out of tires, or White people to use them on? Only a lunatic demonrat would idolize such a person.

Hmmm, now who have I heard say that? Don't tell - it's on the tip of my tongue. I recall his name is Zero something or maybe some kind of islamic follower called obamatollah.

It’s a real shame commie Barron doesn’t move to one of the countries he’s so in love with one of the leaders.

Barron’s comments say as much about the constituency that keeps electing him as it does about him - morons.

This is what happens when mental illness is “normalized” and “mainstreamed”. Pretty soon the crazy people rise in visibility, strike a chord with all the other crazies, and get elected to public office.

As I said a couple of weeks ago: somewhere around 25% of the population of the United States wants to see it destroyed.

‘’They are not hiding there real views anymore’’

It’s one thing to be an idiot

But to be elected because you are an idiot is what’s scary
