To equate his political prisoners with the detainees at guantanomo is beyond ridiculous. Bush and the military did not place those guys there because they supported Kerry in the last election. If Kerry and his supporters were at Guantanamo then it would make more sense.
Why do liberals love Castro so much? I just don't get it. He locks up and tortures political opponents and he has destroyed his country.
Yet I call him illegitimate and that is called absurd?
I call him a despot and that is called absurd?
He runs the most opressive regime in Latin America. Yet that is considered ridiculous. Can someone name a regime in Latin America right now that is more oppressive than Cuba?
I guess, in the liberal mind, if you critisize capitalism, no matter what you do, it can't be all that bad.

Spanky, the democrats and their liberal cohorts count a racist oppressor, Bobby Byrd*, as their conscience. Is it any wonder they think Castro is a heroic figure?
*DEMOCRAT Sen. bobby Byrd, once said (in response to the issue of integrating the military),
"I would never fight with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."
Castro is the minour leagues compared with that guy, a Democrat.
