This week the New York Times ran two editorials pleading for a U.S.
economic lifeline to the Castro brothers’ terror-sponsoring regime
(i.e. to end the so-called embargo.) One editorial ran on Sunday the
other on Tuesday. The second editorial contains the following:
In
brief: so closely did the New York Times echo the sentiments of a
Stalinist dictator that he gleefully ordered their article
disseminated—almost word for word-- throughout his regime’s KGB-founded
and mentored media. It gets better:
“He (Fidel Castro) appeared to endorse the thrust of the editorial,”
The second NY Times editorial boasts, “comparing it to an interview he
gave in 1957 as a young rebel leader to a (New York) Times foreign
correspondent at the time, Herbert Matthews…”
“Fidel Castro…has largely vanished from public view in Cuba. But the
88-year-old former president (italics mine) has not altogether
abandoned the business of telling Cubans what to think.”
Is the Times --at long last!--acknowledging a totalitarian streak in
the longest-reigning Stalinist dictator of modern history? Sure sounds
like it. Now please pay close attention as the editorial continues:
“On Tuesday, Mr. Castro dedicated a column to an editorial published in
The (New York) Times on Sunday that called on the Obama administration
to restore diplomatic ties with the Cuban government and end the
counterproductive (italics mine) embargo the United States has imposed
on the island for decades. His take was remarkable for one main
reason…quoting nearly every paragraph in the (our) editorial…Hosts of
Cuban state-run radio stations (also) read Mr. Castro’s column and
discussed its content…” [Full]
I saw that face on a T-shirt.
ReplyDeleteThe American progressive, praising communist murderers since 1917.
ReplyDeleteCuba gets over half of its food from the United States and has done so for decades. There is no total embargo. Of course, they have to pay cash up front and can't use credit at all, but that still isn't an embargo.
ReplyDeleteI have a Che shirt. It's titled, "The Only Good Commie..." and shows Che with a bullet hole in his forehead.
ReplyDeleteDarrell, you beat me to it! Being a former commie,
ReplyDeletethe only good one is one who wakes up! It never
ceased to amaze me how narcissistic the radical
left is. The entire radical left is composed of a
bunch of pampered pansies who have never had to work
a day in their lives. I knew Panthers, SDS, VVAW,
and every other form of intellectual parasite known to man!
Yeah, what a paradise, Cuba, eh? The newest car driven by the proletariat is a '59 Chevy.
