(The Venceremos Brigades were organized by Castro's Cuban intelligence agency, which trained "brigadistas" in guerrilla warfare techniques, including the use of arms and explosives.)

O golly gee. Next we’ll have an essay by Obama about how he was present at the King assassination in his dreams! sarc/off
In the past week, I saw several articles (from liberals) regardling MLK. Every now and then there would be a single line “critics said he was aligned with Communists” or “they called him a Communist”.
Never did see any evidence offered to COUNTER the assertion that MLK was increasingly aligned with Communists and making Marxist claims of labor inequality.
It “enough” that his critics accused him of Communist sympathies therefore they were “bad”.
Ping to Obama’s Hyde Park long-time commie physician associate, Quentin Young “in the neighborhood”...
Conservatives are obviously doing it wrong. We aren’t long time personal BFFs of all the other conservatives across the nation like the commies seem to be. Or did I just not get the special restroom key and told about the secret handshake?
