Michelle Malkin on the CBC
Good friend and colleague Michelle Malkin takes on the Congressional Black Caucus in her syndicated column today:
Rep. Cleaver swallowed the Kastro Kool-Aid in one big gulp: “We’ve been led to believe that the Cuban people are not free, and they are repressed by a vicious dictator, and I saw nothing to match what we’ve been told.” Cleaver unabashedly basked in the cult of Castro’s personality: “He’s one of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever met.”
Lord, what tools these lawmakers be.
Accompanying Cleaver were radical left-wing House Democrats Barbara Lee, Laura Richardson, Bobby Rush, Marcia Fudge, Mel Watt, and Mike Honda. Rep. Rush was enraptured by the tyrant’s “keen sense of humor, his sense of history and his basic human qualities.” Lee fawned over the Castros like your neighborhood ‘tweens giggle over the Jonas Brothers. The aging dictator Fidel “looked directly into our eyes,” she delighted. Where was he supposed to look? Into their ears? He “was very engaging and very energetic,” she confided.
Yes, ask the dozens of independent journalists and dissidents jailed over the last six years: Fidel’s a veritable fuzzball.
Read the whole thing, right here.

Imagine if:
During the apartheid era, a group of Cuban-American congresspersons had gone to South Africa on a "fact-finding mission," gotten on famously with its white rulers (with published pictures to that effect), and, upon returning to the US, had told the media the situation in South Africa was fine and dandy, everything they'd heard before going there was a myth or a distortion, and the US seriously needed to revamp and overhaul its thinking and approach regarding relations with South Africa--which was really being run by wonderful, reasonable people who only wanted the best for everyone in that country.
Imagine if, when African-Americans (at least) went ballistic over such a trip and "facts," the Cuban-American congresspersons just responded with smug, snotty, barely concealed animosity or, at best, with stone-faced insensitivity and a condescending dismissal of any objections raised to their "findings."
What do you think would have happened? Or rather, what would absolutely, positively and without ANY doubt have happened?
Now, tell me Cubans are not the victims of a hypocritical double-standard bigger than the planet Jupiter.
Go ahead, make my day.
But maybe, just maybe, we should stop frothing at the mouth and let someone more objective and detached from this situation, someone in no way connected with Cuba, speak:
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
That comes from the Bible, from the book of the Prophet Isaiah.
One would think at least Rep. Cleaver, who's reportedly a Methodist minister, would have kept that in mind, but maybe he didn't read Isaiah. Maybe he was too busy reading Marx.
Whatever happens, God knows what's what, and who's who.

'nough said.
The whole sad history of Cuba's tragedy is laden with ruins of should haves and could haves. There is no justifiable excuse for the world's blind apathy towards the suffering of Cuban people. It's been fifty damn years and we're reading about U.S. elected congressmen gushing over fidel and co. They are amoral, racist, hypocrite pigs who deserve to burn in hell. If Americans won't put down the remote and the jug of kool aid, and get up off their asses and do something, then they deserve to experience first hand what they have excused 90 miles south.
