Cue the liberals calling him a hero and giving their sympathies, it's already started (links below). Jimmy Carter also gave his sympathies. I don't get how liberals who scream social justice opinions support a dictator who silenced any critics with death and had a ton of human rights violations? The last link is a Miami herald article destroying Kaepernick for wearing a Castro shirt, because I find it amusing and CK a POS.

Add Jesse Jackson to the list of dumb fucks calling him a hero.

Great news.
The only thing I respected about him was how long he actually survived. He was one of the worst dictators in the history of the region.

He should not be praised. He should be remembered for the cruel dictator he was.
Great news to wake up to this gameday.

Plenty of places in hell for him to light his cigars.

Rubio came straight out and said that it would be an insult if the U.S sent official representatives to Castro's funeral considering his legacy of human rights abuses, and his history of murdering and imprisoning Cubans and Americans.

Keep in mind that Obama did not send a single member of his administration( let alone a high ranking one) to Maggie Thatcher's funeral......But sent an official delegation to the funeral of Hugo Chavez.

Which just goes to show a large area of political goals that the democrats at the federal level have. It's also a big reason why they just got back-handed right in the mouth a few weeks ago. And they STILL don't get it.
For a people who consider themselves to be so "educated", they are a worthless and stupid lot.

I don't know what is worse, the Canadian PM's statement or Jill Steins tweet.



Gotta love liberal logic though.

"OMG, Trump is going to be a modern day hitler! "

"Castro wasn't a bad guy."

Obama's statement was bullshit too. Trumps official statement was actually good. Who'd have thunk.

I can't help but wonder what part of these people's brains stopped growing when it shouldn't have.

Simple. They covet his power. He is not constrained by an archaic piece of parchment inked over two centuries ago by bigoted white men.

Time for the US to pump in some weapons to what will be a future uprising of the people there.

Yeah Raul is not representative of change in Cuba. His one eyed son will likely carry on after him.

I am sure Cuban state TV got a lot of mileage off of this one.

US not sending any official delegation, although the US will send a couple of representatives.

I'm okay with that, considering BHO, although it should have been nothing.
