Spielberg to NewsMax: Cuba Lied About What I Said

Hollywood is finally learning what everyone else knew all along: Bloodthirsty Cuban dictator Fidel Castro can't be trusted. Tinseltown's top movie director, Steven Spielberg, wants NewsMax and our readers to know that Castro's regime is exploiting him with a lie.

Our columnist Humberto Fontova, zinging Castro's American groupies (shockingly, there are still plenty, even after the dictator's latest atrocities), mentioned a notorious quotation attributed to Spielberg: that meeting Castro was "the eight most important hours of [his] life."

Spielberg's people contacted our people to proclaim that the director never made any such statement and that Castro's state-run press concocted the quotation.

The fuss recalls actor Sean Penn's claims of being misquoted by Iraq's state-run media after his visit to the dictatorship of his beloved Saddam Hussein.

"Don't believe everything you read, especially in the Cuban press!" Spielberg's office wrote to us.

OK, Mr. Spielberg, if you agree not to believe everything Castro and his goons tell you. How about a "Schindler's List" type of movie to expose what is going on Cuba to this very day? (Note that La-La Land cranks out countless movies exposing Hitler's evils, but the mass murderers Stalin, Mao, Castro etc. always get a pass. "The Killing Fields" is about the only major Hollywood production revealing all the horrors of communism, though "The Deer Hunter" did manage to make "Hanoi" Jane Fonda fly into a hissy fit.)

We'll give Spielberg the benefit of the doubt in denying the comment attributed to him. Though he has long funded Democrat causes, he is not one of Hollywood's loony left. He dared to shock his colleagues when he and Tom Cruise became two of the few big wheels in Tinseltown to support President Bush on Iraq.

Now if only Castro "documentary" maker Oliver Stone will learn Spielberg's lesson.

Yep, he waited until AFTER the recent crackdown in Cuba to complain.

It's a lie. Speilberg is a serial liar.
