Hopefully Burton responded, “I believe the Cubans have a love of life and a fear of death that keeps them “supporting” the Castro brothers Chrissy.”

Stupid beyond belief.

Precisely because all of those so inclined have left the island

He should ask the democrats. They’ve supported nearly every communist dictator that’s goosestepped on earth. Hell, two-thirds of the democrats are communists. Need I mention dear Uncle Joe? I’m surprised FDR didn’t give him New York city along with Eastern Europe.

“It’s the same thing that keeps the Democrats supporting the Clintons, Chrissy.”

Here’s your sign.

Matthews: 'Why Do Cubans Still Support Castro Brothers?'

Why do people agree to give armed robbers their money?
Why do Americans still support the IRS?

Chubby has not a clue, suffers from a severe case of liberal ideology.

I have to say that even as a veteran Matthews watcher, this was shocking to me.

Is Chrissy hosting Hardball or Jeopary?

"What is brute force?"

I will take "Liberal Cluelessness about Communism" for $500.
