So now the news media will reinvent the murderous Castro as a great humanitarian.
DON’T FALL FOR IT!
Sickening praise.
Burn in hell Fidel.
You too Obutthole.
I like President Elect Trump’s response the best: “Fidel Castro is dead!”
Pffft! Will obama order flags lowered? Will he go to funeral?
...and Obama said nothing about Castro’s countless political murders and democide. Figures!
But not all of their impact was good.
History will judge the enormous impact of Joseph Stalin.
History will judge the enormous impact of Benito Mussolini.
History will judge the enormous impact of Idi Amin.
History will judge the enormous impact of Saddam Hussein.
History will judge the enormous impact of Fidel Castro.
You’ll notice the many ‘progressive’ admirers of Castro never bothered to move to the socialist paradise of Cuba (nor have they moved to Venezuela in spite of all the praise for Chavez).
Look how fast this POS gave his condolences.
No more cigars for the commie, God-hating bloodthirsty bastard. Plenty of lighters,though.
May they shoot each other eternally.
Castro was a humanitarian like the pope is a Catholic, like Joy Behar is an intellectual, like Michael Moore is a health guru, like Bruce Jenner is a woman...
Fidel was amazing he managed to stop time in Cuba ,LOL
If communism worked so great he would not have dumped all those refugees on us in the 80s.
The great cuban society would’ve been able to take care of them, as communism promises to all the saps that fall for that line.
Hope Castro likes dogs. Cerberus and the hell-hounds await his arrival....
Obama is now a confirmed idiot. He was more concerned with his left wing leftist ideology legacy than the freedom of Cuba. His lack of patience has made him as idiotic as Carter.
I knew someone would post that pic of ‘Che. LOL! Bet Felix Rodriguez is having a cold beer somewhere....If I knew where, I’d buy one for him!

Fidel Castro in 1959: "Without the help of The New York Times, the revolution in Cuba would never have been.”
May the NYT not be far behind.
