Quote of the day

From an article in the Miami Herald today:

''The United States does the same thing [spy] with countries we classify as a terrorist state -- I expect there are hundreds of others out there,'' said Joe Garcia, a board member of the Cuban American National Foundation. ``This is just an excuse for the fearful not to take action.''

Keep talking, Joe.

  • Joe Garcia is a fucking moron.

  • Rayarena

    You've just got to love that amazing moral equivalency! He equates the actions of a 51 year long tyranny whose only purpose is to sustain the despotic ruling family in power at the expense of its people with the USA. NICE!

  • asombra

    Ah, moral equivalency! Gotta love it. And coming from such a source, too! Well, if nothing else, he's now on the short list to be Princeton's next graduation speaker...but he really needs to pump up the exile-bashing more, then he'll be a cinch. If this creep was any slimier, he'd be a grubworm.

  • Sensible exile voice my ass. He's justifying tyranny. Period.

  • Orgullosa de ser Cubana

    It must be the perm chemicals for his curls that are affecting his brain because I just can't believe this guy is that stupid... But then again, Val said it right, he is a *&$%% moron.

  • Makes me wonder? Even in it's heyday, was the CANF s no better at screening it's officials than the U.S. State Dept.? This Garcia guy has been with CANF for a while, right? How'd they hire him?

  • Larry Daley

    In the same article Wayne Smith is represented as the voice of reason.

    In this regard I posted at the site:

    Interesting Wayne Smith is more

    the unofficial ambassador of Cuba

    in the US than anything else

    at least since years ago

    when he was severely compromised

    under quite lurid circumstances

    by Soviet Intelligence.

    and consequently

    "defrocked" by the U.S. State Department

    Thus it is extremely misleading and shows a shocking lack of journalistic ethics and integrity when he is merely labeled

    "Wayne Smith, a former head of the U.S. Interests Section in Havana"

    Lesley Clark and Frances Robles should be ashamed of themselves"

    It used to be moral equivalency as in Le Carre's equating the KGB agent with the CIA one. So popular, such a creative idea!
    Now it is the inevitable next step. Now WE are the villains.
    9/11 started out with the idiotic question why do they hate us so. Now it is clear that we earned it.
    Reverend Wright and the rest of Obama's associates rule.

    What is it going to take to wake up America? Or is there possibly a silent majority for our side lining up? I'd love to see a stealth counter revolution against this gang.
    Let's go America!
