I have been asked numerous times why I think there is such an affinity towards Castro by the Hollywood crowd. To which I always want to respond “Because they are complete fucking assholes with no fucking idea of what is happening outside the lens of the camera.” But, I don’t, mainly because I have no friggin idea why these people would support a tyrant like Castro.
I mean, most of the Hollywood Castro supporters are leftists which supposedly stand for things such as:
Human rights
Freedom of Speech
Civil Rights
etcetera.
Why then, would an actor like, say, Danny Glover, an African-American who, no doubt, is a follower of the teachings of Martin Luther King support a regime where MLK’s words aren’t even allowed to be read. It makes no sense at all to me.
Could it be that these Hollywood types are so anti-Bush that they would hop into bed with anyone who has stated a disgerard and general disdain for our President? The enemy of my enemy is my ally type of thing?
I really have no answer, but would like to know what you all think.
The Marxist dream refuses to die, and those who still have that dream refuse to admit that it always turns into a nightmare.
He gives them free health care and a high rate of literacy. That makes him a great man, if only the US weren’t oppressing him with their embargo, surely the socialist paradise would be a better place and a beacon for the hope of the world! Feh. Or so they think, anyway.
A wise man once said, “Wherever there is a jackboot stepping on a human face, there will be a well-heeled Western liberal there to assure us that the face enjoys free health care and a good education.”
Dean, you posted that at 3:30 in the morning! Go to bed, man! You’ve got to start saving up for your birthday party!

Like I said, they’re fucking assholes….
It’s a paycheck to them.
So much for artistic integrity.
Or maybe Danny’s trying to stretch his wings.
Who knows.
I think Glover wants something from him. He’s got this Haiti racket going and just coincidentally he’s all of a sudden making friends with dodgy tyrants like Chavez and Castro.
