McCain Hopes Castro "To Meet Karl Marx" Soon

Reuters:

Republican presidential front-runner John McCain suggested on Friday that he hoped retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro would die soon and said Castro's brother will be a worse leader.

"I hope he has the opportunity to meet Karl Marx very soon," McCain told a town-hall style meeting of about 150 people, referring to communist theoretician Marx who died on March 14, 1883.

McCain, I don't make a lot of money, however I am willing to chip in on a ticket for you to take that jorney with Castro....­...

[stlrfan]

Keep running to the right Johnny,by Nov. your lose could be Goldwateresque.

[IronMikeHouston]

LOL, McCain running to the right for votes? I don't think he can do anything to get the real conservative vote. There is too much McCain voting history and real conservatives aren't going to believe he changed his spots. The problem is morons like yourself. Why do you think the conservatives haven't been supporting McCain? Have you researched McCain's past remarks on Castro? Did he change his views on Castro in the last few days to court conservative vote? Do some research next time before you open your mouth and show ignorance?

Anyway, when Castro dies (yes all people die including liberals) it should be a blessing to the Cuban people. I know the media will make Castro to be one of the greatest leaders EVER but he is just another dictator that butchered his people. They will need to bury him face down so the media can kiss his @ss. What really puzzles me, is why people would float on rubber rafts to leave paradise (they get free medical care) to get to Florida?

[OnePartyEqualsTyranny]

That would make you right of the right, being a true Conservative. Hey did you know that your Jesus was a Liberal?

Pima Indian from the Phoenix Valley, Ira Hayes, froze to death sleeping in an irrigation ditch because we did not take care of our Vets

Neither will McCain.

he has done nothing for homeless Vets

[Ramirez]

Haynes died in 1955. That was Eisenhower's fault.

[godlessclif]

Like his joke about Chelsea Clinton's father being
Janet Reno, McCain has a gift for unfunny humor.

It is the McCain black and white view of the world that almost killed hundreds of millions on October 18th to 29th 1962.

If Jack Kennedy has the same closed minded attitude Castro would have met Marx in 1962
and McCain and Barry Goldwater could have met
Arizona Hero Ira Hayes.

Ira Hayes did not fight on Iwo Jima so some
dare devil flyboy could get the USA nuked.

Ira Hayes by Peter LaFarge

Call him drunken Ira Hayes

He won't answer anymore

Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian

Nor the Marine that went to war

Gather round me people there's a story I would tell

About a brave young Indian you should remember well

From the land of the Pima Indian

A proud and noble band

Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land

Down the ditches for a thousand years

The water grew Ira's peoples' crops

'Till the white man stole the water rights

And the sparklin' water stopped

Now Ira's folks were hungry

And their land grew crops of weeds

When war came, Ira volunteered

And forgot the white man's greed

CHORUS:

Call him drunken Ira Hayes

He won't answer anymore

Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian

Nor the Marine that went to war

There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill,

Two hundred and fifty men

But only twenty-seven lived

To walk back down again

And when the fight was over

And when Old Glory raised

Among the men who held it high

Was the Indian, Ira Hayes

Hmmm, not strong on economics and apparently your diplomacy skills are a bit crude as well.
You don't seem to understand that what you say is remembered and when you are crude and rude, it comes back to make your life difficult. So you don't learn from your mistakes either...
definitely not fit to lead.

[pizzmoe]

He really comes up with some brilliant comments, doesn't he? What a loon!

[Grunty1]

A fascist saying a dictator should meet a socialist.

[ohiomark]

You need to learn the definition of Fascism.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fascism

You need to educate yourself on the true meaning of fascism and how it is a left wing form of government. Also, if you call yourself a "progressive", look up some facts about Woodrow Wilson and FDR who were also progressives and see what tactics they used to silence their opposition.

[abbiehoffmansghost]

Fascism is definitely not a left wing form of government. Because you say that something is so does not make it so, especially if it's patently false. I suggest that you try reading and discerning your own link on fascism. Now come on Mark, tighten up the drool bucket, squeeze out the sponge and move on.

Dim bulb. Indicates how Ohio enabled the current fascist pResident's handlers to steal "re-election"

DAKTENSHTA­KENGOOKTEN­MAKTEN! Hey, why are you trying to jam that barb-wire dildo down my pants! Heeeeyyyy! I been abaducted!

Seek professional help, not public office. Please? Find a desert island and build yourself a sand castle. Then you can invade that.

[dax49]

a tacky comment guaranteed to alienate any future normalization with cuba and pacify the right wing neo con death merchants

[ljsfolly]

I learned a long time ago to nee wish ill on someone you like or dislike. Karma does not have to wait until the next life.... Poor Mac dementia getting too close now? I doubt that Cindy has th ability to help you run the house. All she seems to do is wait for someone to wind her up to talk. She did say she is proud of her country before the wikee battery ran down and she is back to stepford again!

[Manx]

And I thought anti-abortion Republicans regarded human life as sacred.

[johnnyjust]

Innocent life. See, the baby in the womb is innocent. The murder victim is innocent. The terrorist victim is innocent.

See the difference? No? Someday, maybe.

[TAC]

"See, the baby in the womb is innocent."

What about original sin and the need to baptize?

[MajorKong]

Not that I like Castro, but I suspect this comment was meant to throw red meat to the wingnut base.

[helonias]

Perhaps Jesus will introduce his fellow socialist Karl to lots of folks.

[sheraz]

He reminds me of my elderly uncle who used to tell stale jokes that we all had to pretend were funny.

[dacianu]

McCain said he hopes Castro dies soon. Do you think at his age he should be messing with karma?
