HAVANA (AP) - Fidel Castro says a "profound racism" in the United States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month's presidential election. The ailing, 82-year-old former Cuban president says it is "a miracle that the Democratic candidate hasn't suffered the same luck as (assassinated leaders) Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who harbored dreams of equality and justice."

Fidel repeats the Obama talking points.

Shouldn’t it tell us something.

Fidel repeats the Obama talking points.

No, Obama keeps repeating Fidel’s talking points.

[CaptainK]

Because a black man heading the government of Cuba is eminent.

I thought castro was taking his dirt nap....this guy has more lives than a cat.

[allmost]

90+ percent of blacks voting for obama. Who is racist?

[mlocher]

Castro also described Republican presidential candidate John McCain as "bellicose."

No comment.

Oh I can’t wait for the Castro brothers...to tell us how to run our economy.HA HA HA.

Not nearly as lucky as Fidel that someone hasn’t shot his ass.

Proof positive that the good die young. ;-)

The celebration when this one croaks will be hugh and series.

Sounds as though Castro is in Obama’s corner. Let’s see, Obama is backed by Farrakhan and now Castro, that ought to tell the ‘undecideds’ quite a bit if they have half a brain.

Ya think? Oh, BTW, most of the Bradley effecters are also racist Marxists like you, Fidel. BTW, the blood of one of my relatives is on your hands.

When Fidel was younger, he would come to NYC to address the United Nations. During this time he would go through Harlem and would get a hero's welcome.

[incredulous joe]

Just curious; when Fidel said this,...did anyone see his lips moving??

I’m just sayin’!

I guess Castro has already been contacted by ACORN and voted (several times) in Ohio.
