Heynnnn, JAK, Siempre, etc., and the rest of you liberals, will one or all of you please splain to me how and why a brutal, murdering communist dictator's praise for Obama is not a little bit queer?

See this article:

I have certain notions about it, such as Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and other murdering, freedom loathing, thugs are kindred spirits with Obama.

See also http://www.examiner.com/x-7812-DC-SCOTUS-Examiner~y2009m9d4-UN-Declares-Dictator-Fidel-Castro-a-World-Hero

where the UN has declared Fidel Castor has a "World Hero."

However, I bet you have different notions.

Or do you?

Please advise.

28 months ago: redstateguy, care to explain why we should or should not like a given elected official of the United States of America based on the praise/condemnation of a brutal, murdering communist dictator? I don't base my decisions about who to support on the ramblings of foreign dictators.

Why do you?

When did I call you a racist? I said your anger over the celebrity video was hypocritical considering the unquestioning praise and adulation Bush received, and I said your comparison to Jim Jones was hyperbolic. I didn't call you a racist.

I cannot help thinking they are bed fellows.

Why didn't Fidel praise Bush? (I have my answer.)

Obama is going to make it easier on this murdering, communist thug.

Why? Why do you allow a dictator's comments to shape your opinion of the President?

You're committing a fascinating and amusing logical fallacy here. You're basically saying, "Fidel praises Obama, therefore Obama must be evil, since everything Fidel supports is evil."

The logic falls apart when you apply it to something absurd, like cookies. "Fidel praises cookies, therefore cookies must be evil, since everything Fidel supports is evil."

Me, I don't allow Osama bin Laden, Fidel Castro, Kim Jong Il, or any other pathetic waste of oxygen like them to shape my opinion of anybody. A President's competence or incompetence can and should be judged for what it is, not for what some foreign tyrant says about it.

All right. We agree on something else. There are bad guys around.

But you have to admit Fiddle Castro obviously perceives Obama as more in tune with him that Bush.

Wait. Fiddle and I are ending up looking at Obama similarly. I take it all back.

28 months ago: Yes, red: is this guilt by association? So Fidel, in a moment of lucidity, praises Obama, ergo, Obama must be a fellow-traveller? Is the opposite true? Meaning, if a capitalist warmonger praises Obama as the greatest thing since the sweatshop, would you feel better about Obama?

"Splain to me"? Are you channeling Ricky Ricardo, or Tom Coburn?

28 months ago: Obamas constant sucking up communist dictators, makes America look weak to rest of the world.They are not thinking , Oh goodie we are friends with America. What they are thinking is what great opportunity we have now with Obama in office. We should be able to take over in no time. You can kiss their **** all you want they still hate our way of life.They still want to wipe us out.Also his constant presents on television diminishes the office of the President. Hes more of a one hit wonder rock star than a President.
