I just saw Fidel Castro wearing a FDNY on TV, courtesy of our own Congress!!!

Forty-three years ago today, Fidel Castro rode into Havana, triumphantly, atop a Sherman tank after having defeated the Batista regime, ready to establish his own dictatorship.

Moments ago, on TV, I saw the old bastard sporting a brand-new New York Fire Department baseball cap, a gift from a visiting US Congressman.

Does anyone know who this rat bastard was that gave Fidel the opportunity to desecrate the memories of American Heroes?

I want this bastards name.

[kayak]

I'm going to end up saying some most unlady-like things if these idiot, I'll-do-anything-to-get-my-picture-taken congress critters don't quit kissing up to that monster down there in Cuba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That d----- dictator ought to be on the list of Evil Ones we're trying to rid the world of rather than being fawned over by members of our own congress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Thanks for alerting us to this disgrace. The despicable bastard who gave him this to wear must be dragged into the light.

[Balata]

Maybe Dan Blather sent it to him. Afterall, they are buds.

[Askel5]

In your face, Luis. The elite couldn't care less.

[Mr. Lucky]

Specter is an embarrassment to the Republican Party

The scum's an embarrassment to his species, whatever it may be.

I think Specter and Chafee were there last week.

There are (were) six Reps. there this week:
William Delahunt (D-CA)
Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO)
Stephen Lynch (D-MA)
Vic Snyder (D-AR)
William Clay (D-MO)
Hilda Solis (D-CA)

[Jolly Green]

By all means, keep us updated on this. That kind of thing should be just enough to get a congress critter removed.

[911]

Correction: Bill Delahunt is from MA, not CA.

[Bogey78O]

keep me updated on this.

[A Citizen Reporter]

My bet is on William Clay, representative from the City of St. Louis,......but I can't say I know all of 'em.

[LibKill]

This ain't right! Castro is a murderer, not a hero.

[Militiaman7]

It's a damned shame.

First klintoon and now these idiot senators sucking up to the terrorist dictator fidel.

CUBA LIBRE!

[911]

Lacy Clay and Hilda Solis are both Progressive Caucus members. I'd put my money on one of them.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Yeah, well, it looks like Fidel's got some fellow travelers in FR.

Why was this pulled from Breaking News, while a compilation of two day's worth of pictures gathered from mainstream media remains?

Who else has posted this, and where else in media can you find this story?

Do you think that this is old news to the firemen that survived the attacks on 9/11?

Don't you believe it significant that the man responsible for the murder of five AMERICAN citizens, shot down in international airspace while on a humanitarian mission, the man who just a few months ago was in Africa giving speeches about how Islamic fundamentalism and his brand of communism would bring doen America, the man whose spies have just been convicted and sentenced to jail in the US, has received something nearly sacred to AMERICANS?

Don't you want as many people as possible to find out?

[Malcolm]

Thanks for the post, LG; you don't see this in the mainstream media, that's for sure. IMNSHO, we should not trade with Cuba until Castro is having a one-on-one with Lucifer, and 2) until Cuba starts democratic reforms. To the other poster above, sure, Castro has provided health care, but is this the only system that can do this? Of course not! Inmates in prison have good health care as well; would that also be a "good model?" I'll help you with the answer: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

FYI

[Luis Gonzalez]

Hello my friends;

I originally posted this in breaking news with the hopes that enough people became outraged at the desecration of a what has become to symbolize American heroes.

The baseball cap bearing the letters FDNY is nearly as sacred in my mind as our flag, but apparently, not to members of Congress, they seem to think of it as some sort of souvenir.

Maybe this isn't important, and maybe I am making way too much of it, but I can't put into words the incredible rage I felt, when I saw the monster of the caribbean wearing the cap. I felt as if he had just defecated on the bodies of heroic Americans.

If you believe that this word needs to get out, please keep the thread bumped, I am searching for a video caption of the news report.

Thanks;

Luis

[No!]

Well, I'm with you Luis...

What in the HELL is wrong with these "Reprentatives"..... (unless it's radioactive or has time released anthrax in the brim... :)

It really is sad to see such pandering to a TERRORIST!!!!!!!

[kayak]

bttt

[No!]

Don't blow Luis!

Break out that Flugel! :)
