MIAMI (AP) - Protesters demanding the arrest of Luis Posada Carriles called off a planned demonstration Little Havana after they were confronted by supporters of the anti-Castro Cuban militant.

Women from an anti-war group known as Codepink had planned to discuss with reporters their campaign against Posada -- who is wanted by the Cuban and Venezuelan government on charges that he plotted the deadly 1976 bombing of a Cuban jetliner while in Caracas.

About 15 Codepink activists were met in front of a Little Havana restaurant yesterday by some 200 supporters of Posada. Several of the Posada supporters charged at the activists' truck.

The truck drove away and the meeting had to take place at a separate location.

Posada is free after a judge dismissed the government's charges that he lied to investigators in a bid to become a naturalized US citizen. He still faces a deportation order.

I wish you freepers would have seen the look on the faces of the Code Pink dolts who showed up at Versailles on 8 St. The mob of Americans (of Cuban Decent) headed for that truck! I'm talking about young and old people. They were screaming "Communista!" "Go to hell!" “Go live with Fidel and Chavez you piece of sh*t!” They started to shake the truck and the driver got the hell out. The cops were there and simply stood around laughing at these idiots. What the hell were they thinking by going to the Versailles restaurant on 8th which is basically a hub for the Cuban-American community. We are VERY ant-communist and very anti-Code-Pinko down here! "Go to hell Code Pink! Go to hell!" I wish I had a link to post some video but can't find one.

Memories of the 80s, when a group of commies from the beach got their nalgas kicked by a mob of Cuban exiles when they dared march in support of Ortega.

I also admire Omega 7 for almost blowing up Angela Davis, when she was mau mauing for Moscow and Havana back then.

CUBA LIBRE!

[Bahbah]

LOL. Thanks for the on the scene report.

Discretion is the better part of valor.

To put this in perspective:

Classic communist front Code Pink showing up at Versailles on 8 St. in Miami's Little Havana was like full regalia Nazis waving swastica flags at a Holocaust Museum.

Photos from the scene:

Her is the communist (yes, old fashioned communist) leader of Code Pink, Susan "Medea" Benjamin at another demonstration:

I love it when things like this happen! Reminds me of the TX neighborhood folks who ran the black guys, led by Quanell X, out of the neighborhood after Joe Horn shot and killed 2 thieves.

Old Quanell and his minions were all dressed up in black suits and ties and were there to hold a protest. They ended up back in their cars and leaving the scene very quickly.

An actual exhausted Code Pink "activist":

Good for the Cubano Americans who don’t take any crap from the Code Pinkos. They won’t be back

You all made my day!

[clintonh8r]

Excellent!

[brushcop]

"Makes this Floridian proud..." As well you should be. I wish I could find a video clip of that incident. As an old Scoutmaster, I'm reminded of the very strong Cuban-American (If I MUST hyphenate!) Boy Scout programs in Florida. Very patriotic, TRUE Americans...

And what is that “thing” hanging down the pinko’s dress/smock?

[darkangel82]

I wish I coulda seen it too, but I don’t get down to Miami much these days.

Socialists are so used to conservatives cowering in front of them that they don’t know what to do when they are actually confronted.

[popdonnelly]

Code Pink is a Marxist organization led by old Red, Medea Benjamin. Of course they’ll shill for Castro.

[FormerACLUmember]

Yeah, the Code Pink Marxists regularly send brigades to Cuba for solidarity, strategy planning, and instructions.

Here is where the Code Pink groups stay:

It is illegal for regular Cubans to go to the Code Pink hotel. Here is their swimming pool:

Oh! The Huge Manatee! Wish I could call up that picture!
