Fred doesn't have to ... it appears Her Thighness has done his work for him.

“For a while, it didn’t look like Washington was going to listen to us regarding real immigration reform. Thankfully, we’ve been spared a serious mistake, but I wonder if things would have turned out the way they did without the work done by the bloggers, talk radio and the American people. Rush, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, RedState, Powerline, Pajamas Media and a lot of others have done a great job. Take that, Fairness Doctrine.
“Anybody who knows my track record or has read some of the things I’ve written about the Cuban-American community knows where I stand. While the communist dictatorship has been a tragedy for Cuba, America has been in some ways, at least, the beneficiary.
“One of those benefits is the presence of the great Cuban-American artist, Gloria Estefan. She co-wrote a song called “No hay mal que por bien no venga” which I understand translates something like — there’s no bad that doesn’t bring some good. The bad that is Castro’s tyranny has given America one of the greatest communities in the Western Hemisphere.
“And no one knows better than that community that the Castro regime remains dedicated to infiltrating American institutions to spread his ideology of tyranny. Castro admitted it himself in an interview with CNN in 1998.
“This is why the Cuban government rightfully remains on the State Department’s terrorist list for its continued support of terrorism. It’s also why we must oppose the illegal immigration of Castro’s agents into the United States while welcoming the vast majority who immigrate legally and with legal intentions.
“It seems to me that few Americans understand the threat that the illegal entry by Cuban spies represents to our country, though Cuban-Americans have never forgotten or stopped pointing it out. Ambassador Otto Reich, the former Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere has called Castro’s efforts to penetrate U.S. intelligence networks ‘relentless.’
“The best-known incident involving Cuban espionage, which many believe may have provided U.S. secrets to hostile Middle Eastern regimes, is probably that of former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst Ana Belen Montes — convicted of espionage in 2002. Now, our intelligence picture has been further complicated by the emergence of oil-funded Hugo Chavez and his anti-American, pro-Castro regime. We know that Cuban intelligence officers, for instance, are in South America — presumably training Venezuelans and others in the intelligence arts.
“Our national security is too important an issue to let folks twist words around for a one-day headline. Cuban-Americans are among the staunchest opponents of illegal immigration, and especially so when it’s sponsored by the Castro regime. We know we have a porous southern border in which they can currently slip through easily. Our enemies know it too.
“All of us should be rightfully concerned about Castro and his ideological pal Chavez sending agents and provocateurs into the United States through Mexico. I’m sure that Cuban-Americans share this concern as well.
“We’ve seen today what the voice of the people can do in Washington. Let’s hope similar voices can do the same thing for Cuba.”
Apparently the ‘blog’ isn’t accepting comments.
I just tried to post a comment and the page is just spinning it’s wheels trying to ‘load’.
Well, what does anyone here think the odds are that last night Hillary would accuse Fred of saying Cubans are terrorists. Then today a newspaper in Florida would print his original statement as a explanation.
Headlines I’m sure that will get repeated and repeated on Florida TV, for the Cuban population to see and hear.
Nothing to see here........
It just posted the comment...4 TIMES!
OOOOPS!
:0)
Go to fred’s blog and look at the date of the original posting. The 28th. He makes it out to be like FDT rushed to his laptop and typed this up as an apology. Total bs by the author.
I wonder if they are in concert here with this garbage?
Cubans won’t believe that shrew.
Nothing like iteration and reiteration. =^)
Clara Lou, this has nothing to do with the B**ch's reading comprehension. She knows exactly what he said, and exactly what he meant. It has to do with her knowing that she can distort it in a way to make Fred look bad, and the lapdog media will go along with her.
She's got her minions going over with a fine tooth comb every word, every gesture, every facial expression, every eyebrow raise, every blink that Fred does, so that it can be twisted to her advantage.
And if the media can take a non-story about Mitt Romney's dog riding on the roof of his car 25 years ago and blow it all out of proportion, you can be assured that they're going to be her willing accomplices and go after the biggest threat (Fred) to The Hag's presidential aspirations.
I have found, in my experience with the Houston Comical, that so-called “newspapers” don’t necessarily keep up with the news or sort the news from the chaff.
“Nothing like iteration and reiteration. =^)”
Don’t know why it posted 4 times because I only clicked it once.
Oh well. If you’re going to make a point, might as well do it big!
:0)
I think this is what the above is referencing.
Pretty stupid to suggest that Cuban immigrants -- illegal or not -- are coming here to cause us harm. Hell, they're the only latin-american group that vote SOLIDLY republican. (Bush got 84% of the C/A vote in 2000.)
Old Fred apparently wants to jeopardize that support. Brilliant political move.
I understand that, that’s why the supposed first statement isn’t given. There isn’t a mention of Hillary either.
Just the insinuation that this is a explaination for some sinister remarks about Cubans.
In other words all just a unintended accident, like when all the stars line up.
Fred knows very well the consequences of a popular candidate entering the race against the beast. I have no doubt he is completely prepared for her and will strike back with precise, and devastating, force. Get out the popcorn cuz this is going to one hell of an election cycle!!!!
She is researching ALL the people she thinks might get in her way. She really is an evil empire. She will do everything, stop at nothing, say anything, bribe anybody, destroy anyone to get the power she thinks she deserves.

Yeccccchhhh! That voice, that VOICE! That harpie, shrewish, fishwife voice - that will be her undoing. Worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.
This is not gonna help him in Florida. And Florida will be strategically significant in this primary season. A few weeks before the vote you can expect his opponents to start running adds about this. I just hope this doesn’t hurt the GOP as a whole with hispanics. Hillary is diabolical and knows very well what she’s doing.
That’s great that the legal immigrants vote conservative. Do you think the Cubans here are for open borders?
I’m surprised a Mitt Romney fan, of all people, couldn’t see through this hit piece.
