Make no mistake. There is blood, torture, and cold blooded murder on the hands of the Hollywood vermin. Streisand, Baldwin, etc., ad nauseum, are dangerous, not simply moronic.

Landau praised many of the dictator's policies, noting that Castro "has brought a greater equality in terms of wealth distribution than I guess any country in the world today."

Yes, they are uniformly poor, except for Castro and his friends who have helped him distribute and maintain the poverty.

"Cuban human rights violations take the form of procedural violations. They involve legal and political rights rather than economic and social rights,"

Uh huh. Who gives a crap about freedom when you could have all those "economic and social rights" instead?

Unlike the Hollywood of the WWII years, today's hollywood is a treasonous disgrace and an embarrassment. I recommend boycotting everything they do-ignoring them and their pathetic, traitorous attempts at getting attention. Their pompous, self importance and arrogance have long ago turned me off, and I havent seen a hollywood film in years, no matter what the hype! React to the hollywood crowd by ignoring their movies and thereby stop supporting them financially! (Likewise to those traitors in the music biz-if you must have their music, then burn your own cds and really make them mad)!

"It's very difficult coming from the U.S., to imagine a political leader with whom you could have an intelligent conversation. Well, I guess you could with Bill Clinton, but you certainly can't with the moron that is in there today," Landau said.

When you're an idiot, calling someone a moron is a supreme compliment.

Wonder what Saul has contributed personally to equalize wealth distribution? The hypocrite's amount - nothing?

You don't have millions of homeless people in Cuba, you don't have 42 million people who don't have access to medical care," Landau said, comparing Cuba to the United States. Cuba outperforms the United States "when you talk about the right to food, the right to shelter, the right to a job, the right to a retirement," according to Landau. These issues are "less than rigorously enforced in the U.S." he added

This guy is an idiot. Hey Landau, how about the right to personal freedom and the right to live for you own sake? And Woody Harrelson makes me vomit. I'd love to face that traitor in person. Guess I'll have to calm down and enjoy the rest of my day.

"How the hell is he duping them? They've got two eyes, they've got two ears," he told CNSNews.com.

Yeah, he's not duping them they are just stupid. What's the difference between an actor and an Elvis impersonator? Nothing, they are both pretending to be something they aren't. When someone else writes your lines and tells you what to say you have no experience in thinking for yourself and opening your mouth and not sounding so utterly foolish and ignorant.

"Castro 'has brought a greater equality in terms of wealth distribution than I guess any country in the world today.'"

Yes, everyone is impoverished (everyone except the power elite, that is).

"socialism has helped to keep people at least stabilized at a certain level."

Yes, poverty. Thank you, Chevy. Next?

How do you break bread with a monster whose henchmen are, at that very moment, torturing your fellow human beings in unspeakable ways? How do you do that? And then to praise him?!

It doesn't take much for these shallow fools to "lose all context of reality". Many of them lost it a loooong time ago. BTW, I'm sure 'most anybody will seem like a genius to Jack Nicolson.

Condo's in Palm Beach and Boca Raton have become too mixed with the commoners. In Cuba, Hollywood limosene liberals get treated as heads of state, they get to have an audience with the king, and glorious days and nights on the beach while having servants meet their demands for ten cents a day.

In Floriduh, $5,000,000 buys you a modest Worth Avenue home while paying bodyguards to give you privacy. In Cuba, $1,000 buys you anything you could ever want, and Castro provides the security.

Singer Gloria Estefan is another Cuban refugee who feels frustrated that people don't understand the Castro government.

Which must explain why she helps raise money for Democrats, the party of Fidel.

"[Castro] has acknowledged that he personally slept with over 1,000 women...it would be fairly common for Castro to go through four or five women a day," he said.

I heard that one of those women was Babba Wawa.
