What debate?
First, I saw it in the castroite press - castro's communist propagandists claimed that castro was taking his beef with the U.S. 'blockade' on Cuba directly to the Internet. There would be a public debate on the matter, and castro's minions (having access to e-mail, unlike normal Cubans) would respond to e-mail inquiries and challenges.
Then, who should clod-hop in right behind them but Madeline Baro Diaz of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the nation's worst newspaper, and apparently castro's willing media franchise over in the U.S. She repeated the same thing, saying castro was all for debate.
So I went to the 'debate' site where castro's minions were said to be waiting with their 'information.'
Not one word of debate. I scrolled and scrolled and all I saw was Sandalista comemierdante. This was the great debate Madeline the castro propagandist would have you believe is taking place.
Once again, castro and all his apologists are complete, total liars intent on deceiving the public to give the false impression that any dealings with castro are normal affairs. BZZZT! WRONG! See for yourself here.

Has anyone from here posted there? I'm curious to see the level of censorship, and how they tip-toe around it.

I tried to post. I went back to the forum and did not see my post so it is obvious it goes to some screening process to make sure it does not violate Castroite standards (it does of course!) so I am very skeptical my "love post" will not appear.

I've always said that Castro has no need to sell "Granma International," "Juventud Rebelde," or "Trabajadores" here in the USA, he simply emites a press release and his parrots here, newspapers like the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, or the Florida Sun-Sentinel simply repeat it, and make it available to millions.

You're right, Ray. As you always are.
