Maryland AFL-CIO leader calls Che Guevara, Cynthia McKinney heroes

In a video posted at The Blaze Wednesday, Fred Mason, President of the AFL-CIO in Maryland and the District of Columbia, called former Rep. Cyntia McKinney (D-GA) and Communist guerilla Che Guevara heroes.

"Without a person like Cynthia McKinney, there would not have been a Barack Obama," he said while speaking at Baltimore's Union Baptist Church in late August.

"And I was reminded of one of my heroes, Che Guevara, and his contribution to the Cuban Revolution," he added.

According to Mason, Guevara was "an internationalist," who "was about oppressed people everywhere."

"Anywhere there was suffering, he spoke out against it," Mason said.

But a 2004 article by Paul Berman at Slate.com shows the Cuban revolutionary is hardly worth idolizing:

Somewhat dated, but still good to know.

Union goonies...

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

[Old Sarge]

Leftists trying to maintain the college vote - all the Che T-shirts, there’s revenue to be had.

[Dogbert41]

Communist executioner of freedom loving people ping.

Good to know, is right. Let’s not forget, too, that McKinney was supported by Ron Paul when she ran for office.

[John S Mosby]

A psychopathic mass murderer and a monumentally stupid moron. Perfect candidates for union thugs of the same feather.

"And I was reminded of one of my heroes, Che Guevara, and his contribution to the Cuban Revolution,"

Ah yes, Castro's exicutioner, I can see why he would be one of Fred Mason's heroes.

SOS ,,,, SOS ,,,, SOS ,,,, Please send the US Military to Maryland and liberate us from the tyranny of an out of control governor and his minions . We now have a 38.8 billion debt. after two terms of o’mally while he inherited a 2 billion dollar surplus from his predecessor republican Bob Ehrlich . Citizen tax payers are leaving the state of Maryland faster then the Mexicans are leaving Mexico while the Mexican population is building rapidly here now .

Sorry buddy,you’re on your own.
PA is finally getting on its feet. But still a craphole.
Maybe VA can help

SOS—you might add that those leaving Md. are leaving on roads that haven’t been touched in two years and are rapidly falling apart because the fool in Annapolis has stolen Highway funds to give to Casa De Maryland.

The Shadow and Yellow dog Democrats are in control of our State.
