Fidel Castro is an ingrate. That must be what Sen. Christopher Dodd is thinking now that Cuba's communist tyrant has endorsed a Democratic ticket of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. "The word today is that an apparently unbeatable ticket could be Hillary for president and Obama as her running mate," he wrote in a column Tuesday in Cuba's Communist Party newspaper, Granma. He also had nice things to say about two of his favorite stooges: Jimmy Carter, for trying to normalize relations between the United States and Cuba during his feckless presidency; and Bill Clinton, for his part in the "rescue" and deportation of Elian Gonzalez in 2000.
Adding to Sen. Dodd's frustration was Castro's column ran just days after Sens. Clinton and Obama called for democratic reforms in Cuba. Castro dismissed their statements as campaign fluff, sarcastically writing: "Both of them feel the sacred duty of demanding a democratic government in Cuba."
After all Sen. Dodd has done for Castro in his three decades in Congress, one would think Castro might have given the senator's languid presidential campaign a little boost. But Sen. Dodd rated not a word in the diatribe.
Congress' strongest proponent of normalized relations with Cuba and most reliable coddler of socialist dictators, Sen. Dodd beat back the nominations of such anti-communist diplomats as John Bolton, Otto Reich and Roger Noriega. His successes relieved international pressure on the Castro regime, led to today's rising tide of socialism in Latin America and helped Castro's latest sugar daddy, Hugo Chavez, turn back an attempted coup in 2002 that would have restored democracy to the Venezuelan people.
But this is the thanks one gets when one is a useful idiot.
Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.
Let me know if you want on or off this list.
I thought this idiot was dead. Wishful thinking I guess.
Now that is choice!!! LOL
Lots of dead people will be voting for Mrs. Clinton.
Wonder if Castro had a Ghost Writer or penned it himself from HELL.
He is dead but that is little impediment to his publishing an editorial endorsing Hillary.
BTW, I hear Vince Foster and Ron Brown will be the next ones up with Clintanoid endorsements.
That figures, one communist endorsing a slate of two communists...
Sorry, Dodd, you arent even good enough for Castro..
“Communists. The party no Marxist’s Dimocrat can hate. They love all socialists, all commies, all homos, all liberals. They are the slime of man kind.”
Yes! Just thinking about it here, the man who, with Che Guevera, went around murdering execution style, to gain control and continued for 52 years,all the while murdering political prisoners (and journalist included) actually worships Hillary. I guess even he sees the potential there, even almost dead. What an endorsement!
If an American General Officer does bad, he is relieved and forced to retire. If a Soviet or Red Chinese general did bad, they were SHOT! Quite the difference, yet these stupid liberals refuse to believe it. They will destroy this Republic and they are doing it day by day.
“Oh, I’m just a typical American boy from a typical American town
I believe in God and Senator Dodd and a-keepin’ old Castro down.”
