"You can't fix stupid."
--Ron White

Interestingly, as reported by Lou Dobbs, only the Washington Post mentioned that the protests were being run by our local bunch of Reds, International ANSWER. That doesn't get reported on the nightly news, does it?

Perdonalos Dios mio, porque no saben lo que hacen!

idiots.

Now that I see CHe here just remembered i wanted to share something:
Sorry this is completely unrelated but I invite you to check the comments on imdb.com of Andy Garcia's movie "The Lost City" (just type The lost city and check at the bottom). They don't really comment on the movie a lot but the "opinions" of few stupid comebolas about Fidel and Che are just inadmissible. I almost had a heart attack!
On the other hand,I must say there are a lot of great responses as well.
Loved the movie

Goal: get these turds to "be just like che(ckmated)."

"But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Che--you ain't gonna make it with anyone (Cuban-American) anyhow...ya know it's gonna be--alright."

John Lennon was close, anyway.

What can we say about this?

Oh, the humanity!

Or lack of it...

I guess they see Che as a savior figure and they WANT to believe the myth so bad because they really don't have a valid educated culture, what can you expect from low riders, zoot suits, gang color head bands, State financed brain washed PC Chicano(a) studies programs, generations of inner family gang membership - so the things that come along their way - no matter how ugly and vulgar, they embrace. or can we say that they are evil - and that an evil people worship evil? The only thing of redeeming value that these folks have is the Virgin of Guadelupe - I hope she comes to them and educates them with love and forgiveness. They are really uneducated peasants - they are illiterate in so many ways - not only education wise, but spiritually.

Maybe they really need a Che like figure that will come to them and bring mega death to them one day - lets see how much they will worship revolution then. But in the end they embrace violence with their love of Aztlán and the Aztec iconography of millions of humans sacrificed to their defunct gods - Che is just another one of their obsolete deities.

some of the Chicanas were kinda cute at the protests.

Definitely a fan of that third picture. Upside down flag on that ridiculous looking rad hat the guy's wearing.

It's a good thing these distress symbols are familiar to those ditressed law abiding Americ... waaaait a minute!

It's enough to make you crazy. I dealt with yesterday by meeting friends at a restaurant run by law abiding Mexican-Americans working their asses off during happy hour. From what I hear,it was their own neighborhoods that took the brunt of the financial hit from yesterday.

Yes Ziva, b/c it was the Hispanic business that mainly closed, and they usually are in the mainly Hispanic neighborhoods.

So I went to ANSWER's website (internationalanswer.org) and found their info on the "US Blockade of Cuba" (i couldnt link directly to thispage, but you can click their "about us" tab and then on the left there will be a link that reads "end blockade of cuba"):

"It is the longest and most cruel blockade known to the history of mankind."

"III. It is a fundamental part of State Terrorism policy.

IV. It qualifies as an act of genocide."

"THE BUSH PLAN FOR ANNEXATION

Objective

Destroy the Revolution, restore capitalism and reinstate imperial domination over the Cuban nation."

They have these assholes leading them into the streets, and then want to lecture us on the importance of solidarity.

Did you have to ruin my dinner with that picture?

There was a guy on the messageboard for The Lost City on imdb.com who claimed that Cubans have more opportunity now than they did before castro. Then he quoted a couple articles from Granma to back it up. Genius.

Ziva, what was the consensus of the folks you met? For? Against? Neutral? I'm curious to know from your unique vantage point over there in LA.

Eeeeeuw. Man there were some pug-uglies in that tshirt crew.

They are a bunch of useful idiots. I got to work super early May 1st and worked for 12 hours straight.

Five idiots in a Che shirt, is not worth condemning and entire movement for immigration reform.

This is Seattle, what do you expect???? The same idiots throwing rocks in anti-globaloney protests some years ago, and the same 20 guys who run 50 communist groups and front groups. Fringe groups have nothing better to do than protest in this kind of thing.

I linked some excellent stuff that appeared in the Chicago Tribune about what happened in the capital of the US heartland, Chicago with its huge Latino and immigrant community.

At that huge demonstration, you could spot Palestinian authority AND Israeli flags, the fringe groups were around, but so were Mexican and Polish hardhats.
