Obama & Edwards: Morons gone wild

Fresh from pandering to La Raza's rabid radicals in Miami this weekend, Barack Obama and John 'Hairspray' Edwards announced at the Democratic presidential debate tonight that they'd be happy to meet with fidel castro and Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, who this weekend declared himself El Presidente For LIfe.

I kid you not. Miami Herald reports:

Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and John Edwards suggested Monday that they would meet with two leaders who top South Florida's most-hated list: Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
During a nationally televised debate, Obama responded to a hypothetical question: ``Would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries?

Both implied that if they could just get the opportunity to be nice to these two brutal autocrats, they'd rapidly win their good will and everyone would turn kumbaya. In this, they implied that it's only Bush's clumsiness was responsible for the two dictators' venomous animosity toward the United States Of America.

If either of these idiots were elected president, Chavez and castro would roll their asses in the streets of Matamoros, to quote Tom Wolfe, and fry them up for dinner before they knew the fork was in them.

Both fools show no understanding of dictatorship, no understanding of the perpetual war against America that castro and Chavez must conduct in order to energize their own communist party bases. If there were no America for castro and his minime to scream about, the two of them would rapidly become lightning rods for all that is wrong in Cuba and Venezuela and would finally have to face the music of their own crimes. That is why the two of them desperately need an America to rail against, and why it's sustained them for decades. A simple understanding of the warlike nature of dictatorship ought to have informed these two, but this response just goes to show how stupid and venal and despicable these men really are.

And how missing in understanding they are of the Cuban experience in Florida, where memories of the bloodsoaked castroite communist scum shooting children against a wall isn't something that ought to ever been forgotten. Nevermind that, though, watch them come pandering for the Cuban-American votes anyway.

The naivete of these two fools running for president of the United States is a terrifying thing. They display a callous willingness to get in bed with dictators in the naive belief that niceness, or their own egotistic personalities will tame them, and worse yet also show a willingness to betray the people of Cuba and the exiles of Cuba who have suffered so much in the past 50 years under these bearded beasts who have literally tried to kill them.

These morons ought to crawl under a rock and disappear, their campaigns are sunk. Complete clowns. Nothing they do is going to redeem them from this stupidity. These two toads are toast.

Remember that they are liberals and could care less about Cubans and Venezuelans, etc.

Thanks for that. When are all these morons gonna get a clue, politicians and questioners? As you pointed out, Fidel and Chavez don't wanna talk to them.

Por favor, despierten. Yo estaba en Miami cuando esto ocurrio and stop the BS. The US coast gard has special shotguns to put off motors of run away, it is not a normal gun. The where chasing the the boat for over an hour and it refused to stop. Wake up, we have laws in this country, and when they you are in american jurisdiction and the law tells to stop, you stop.

Cut the poor cuban crap...

This is very typical Dem behavior. They usually do themselves in. I have a problem witht the more experienced, two faced ones. The ones that ask what the polls are showing and then SAY what you want to hear.

"Present

1. There are conversations right now between USA military and Cuba's
military. Not the typical ones at Guantanamo, but at a different level, different
issues, more important, with Raul's approval.

2. Perez Roque and alarcon are in the way out. They are not Raul's men

Edwards is the airhead version of Bill Clinton. Somebody must have told him being fairly young and reasonably good-looking would be enough. Sheez.

There are multiple factors at play in why Edwards and Obama (and all the other American liberals now and before them) suffer from such dictator myopia, in no particular order:

1) The most obvious, this view reflects a growing portion of their constituency, who they alienate at their peril.

2) Race: There is a tendency among leftists to believe that no white person can really be good and no non-white can do wrong (except for Cubans who oppose Castro, of course). They want America to follow white Europe's example of withdrawing from the world and wallowing in crippling relativism and nihilism, so they see any non-caucasian foreign dictator or government that opposes America and American involvement in the world as a good thing by definition, no matter how oppressive or murderous.

3) Fashionable Image: It is important to liberal politicians to not be seen by the UN and Europe as a "cowboy". After all, cowboys are not sophisticated and nuanced and worldly enough to melt in the face of dictators like Jimmy Carter or Madeline Albright and call it victory.
