How can an elected Congresswoman encourage assassinations?

[NoorAlHaqiqa]

ANother bloodthirsty Jew. And not a damn word she says is straight.

[nietzscheprime]

She is a Jew

[olmec19]

@LibertadorMG-You Are So Right!! If Someone Where To Go On The Tell-A-Lie Vision And State The Same Thing About Assassination Of A U.S. President-Homeland Security Would Be On Their Azz In Minutes!! This Shows How Hypocritical Shit Is In The "Good Ole" USA!!

[SpacerAM2]

I know Castro won't get away with all of his crimes to Cuba, humanity and his evil communist influence around the world the past 52 years. The same goes to other evil doers like him. Jesus said vengeance is only mine. So Jesus will see to that. And this woman politician Ileana Ross is too good to be true. I know she is a corperate republican under all that sheep skin she is hiding under. She takes shots saying that Democrats are socialists. Well Republicans are fascists too.

[Dcapac]

Far-right-wing nut jobs like this poor excuse for a politician should be kept out of the government. These are the kind of fascists that start wars and create political and social instability in developed nations. Malinchera.

[japanowner]

And this model of government TWAT is running her cum-filled mouth about sanctions against the EVIL empire...(aka) Iran.

I think she should be beheaded for insisting an assasination.

Bet she's busy with her lips wrapped around a jew.

[BlckComb]

She also welcomes any opportunity to murder civilians of sovereign states, judging by her calls for clemency for Bosch.

Whore.

[kashgar22]

What a disgusting person. Typical Republican yahoo.

[TheMongolHordes]

sic semper tyrannis

[EvanBHenry]

Damn right. Tyrannicide is the highest form of patriotism.

[wherethegoodgo]

The US government is a terrorist organization so why should these comments surprise anyone. And by the looks of the comments many ordinary US people are terrorist too. Sad but true. I wonder if the economic collapse of the US will change their way of thinking or make hypocrisy worse? What do people think? Do the American people have the capacity to understand?

[TheTriglicerido]

Excelentisima Sra. Ileana Ross.

¿Cuando va a firmar Ud. la Declaracion de Praga?

Es muy importante para los cubanos y para las millones de victimas del comunismo que han encontrado la libertad y la paz en los EE.UU.

Mas de 105 millones de personas han muerto en manos de los comunistas en Europa, Asia , Africa y Cuba.

Las victmas agradeceran eternamente.

Praguedeclaration. org

[jasonsr3]

this lady is my new fav. Fuck Castro someone please kill that bastard, I would kill him myself if I could he has so much innocent blood on his hands.

[gensomanijak]

asasinate him how many ives ahave been ruined by this genocidal maniac

kill him know

well done and keep up the good work

[tocororo]

HOW CAN SHE!? You just saw it idiot ! I hope more people had the courage to speak out like her. WE LOVE YOU AND ARE PROUD OF YOU ILEANA !

[ioroman]

The US does not need a gusana like this.

[SpacerAM2]

@ioroman

Yeah the us doesn't need either socialist or fascist communist worms. Right?

[MtWhiteCld]

ONLY Miami Cubans would vote for someone like this . A USA senator who has gotten reelected over and over and over by preaching hate

[AWE319]

She's not a senator..........Why do you believe the Castro brothers should live? It is an un-democratic regime that deeply oppresses the people and as a liberarian I believe he ought to be assasinated because the way he rose to power and the way they excersise their power goes against my values and hopefully yours too. I'm sure you would've wanted the assasination of right wing dictators like Joseph Stalin, so why not left wing dictators? And those Miami Cubans you hate have had a taste of him..

[MtWhiteCld]

Your correct she is a Congresswoman. I am Cuban myself so don't talk to me about many of the people here who I have met . Who are some of the most fascist -racist and separatist thinking people I have ever met. I dont subscribe to Castro but I dont subscribe to the extreme right wing book banning,etc fanatical thinking in Miami . Who as a whole support even the most corrupt politicians as long as they are Cuban

[AWE319]

So I suggest you listen to their intuition on the castros over what the left tells you about him.

[MtWhiteCld]

AWE319

----------------

BTW I lived in Cuba and be it Castro who is a self serving corrupt disaster or the Miami Cuban political Cosa Nostra which as a whole is another self serving and/or corrupt disater. Cuba is doomed as long as Cuban politicians run it. In Miami we have created a Banana Republic of corruption unlike anything I have ever seen. You think Castro or no Castro we are capable of better? If you do look at the horror Batista was before Castro.

[SpacerAM2]

@MtWhiteCld

Batista was bad. Castro is even worse. Cuba has been unfortunate until now with tyrants enslaving the cuban people but someday they will be freed from Castro's tyranny ,and the same with other countries as well. Communism of any kind has failed and fallen before and will fall again.

[eaglephin]

I love her. Yes, I hope someone assassinates Fidel, so what?

[v1660]

by "freedomfighters" i assume she talks about terroristgroups like alpha 66.

she probably has a picture of orlando bosch and batista hanging in her bedroom. fuckin hypocrites.

[spiral2tube]

nefasta!, representante del odio . Esta tipa deberia de ser cesada de sus funciones

[joeholness]

Fuck You Bitch!

Castro Rules!!!!!!!

[oisdjgisjeo]

its all lies..... They want castro to stay there they need cube to be a terrorist country for invasion of USA from one side and china from other.

[UberSciFiNerd]

YES SPEAK THE TRUTH!

its called right to revolution!! the cuban people deserve better, they should kill castro and create a free government. our declaration of independence : "it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

[nirbija]

Doesn't appear that she has not children; that makes her a barren witch, who has never been sensitized by growing life.

[nirbija]

What a witch!

Careful what you wished for. The assasination you desire might just be your own and your family members; although assassination is unlikely in your case considering that you leader IMPOSTOR. lol

Females were 'designed' by Mother Nature to produce, protect, preserve and promote LIFE!

So when a so-called 'female' embraces DEATH, we know we are dealing with a mentally disturbed witch. lol

[MercShinobi]

She's a puppet too the conspiricy.

[theloverman3344]

what do you expect shes a Republican

[TkrB]

lol, that explains it xD

[UberSciFiNerd]

yea ...she believes in freedom? that has nothing to do with republican or democrat... i thought all Americans believed in freedom, guess i was wrong.

[theinsomniac4life]

Nice American values there.

[rab251166]

freedom fighters ? do you mean like osama bin laden

[pilot1962]

SHE GOT MY VOTE!!

[LibertadorMG]

This woman is a terrorist! She is a shameful hypocrite and she makes the US look two-faced and petty. She has no business being in Congress.

[ficote72]

well with the embargo you are trully hurting the cuban people. so with her embargo support she is at the same level of fidel castro. both are oppressing the cuban people.

[kareaga1234]

For your information, USA has always sanctioned those who would dare to trade with Cuba and none would dream to oppose the States and become its enemy by doing that.The blockade has alway been of a virtually global scale for this reason, which makes the survival of the cubanrevulution all the more remarkable

[tehkoalainsurgency]

so far rok100 you're the only one that can think rationally around here. or at least that's my general impression based on the lack of logic of some of these comments.

[CaptainSvy]

If there's someone who's better to eliminate, well, that one is bush. I'm not a politician.

Viva Fidel!

[Claudinini]

Fucking Muggets !!!long live Castro!!!

[rok100]

Let's all think about this rationally for just a moment: A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL publicly calling for the murder of A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL. What separates dumb animals from homosapiens and dumb conservatives from thinking liberals? The lack of skills and/or abilities for longterm strategic thinking and anticipating the unintended results of "blowback".

[JoeMomma2002]

Cuba is a stalinst country and Che was a firm believer in Stalinisim. He was not a true marxist, I wish people would recognize that.

[vilaboastream]

The embargo isn't the reason Cuba is poor it's the failed policies of those communists assholes.

[tehkoalainsurgency]

the embargo the u.s. imposed on Cuba has significantly decreased the country's ability to export its rich products. it's almost routine for the u.s. to place embargos on any country that would challenge their economic ideology. these economic strangulations are not a result of communism, they are a result of rich capitalist nations imposing them, at the end of the day they dont hurt Castro, but the ppl of Cuba.

[Kenreef]

check you facts Cuba trades with many countries just not the united states. It failed because it's flawed.

[kac56]

This woman is a nut...Oppression? What do you call assassination? How is her wanting Castro assassinated any better than what she claims Castro has done?

She's a hypocrite.

[gordonmaloney0]

none of you fucking idiots have any idea what communism is

[dannywerac]

"any leader who is opressing the people . . " hmmm . . . i can think of a certain guy who does that too.

[pasatio]

See that's the problem with you commies, your arrogance. You think you're Santa (superior to me), and you're gonna "take care" of me cuz I NEED you (inferior to you). We don't want your shit. We will EARN our own shit, and it's better than yours.

[23Pliskin23]

Anyway what I think we can agree on, is that time will proove who is right. The people will make their choice. I personnaly prefer egality over liberty, if the people choose otherwise, so be it. What is important is that the PEOPLE must choose, not you, or me. They can make another revolution if they want to. They can also not do it, we'll see.

[pasatio]

Me working my ASS off and earning and keeping the fruits of my labor is NOT exploitation of the less fortunate. In a free market society,you can only prosper PRECISELY by GIVING people what they want at a fair price. DUH!

[pasatio]

You've never experienced soviet technology have you. Never flown on an Ilyushin 7 or a Yakolev. It's a deathwish. Communism is the equal distribution of misery. BY THE BARREL OF A GUN! I'll be goddamned if I let you raid my farm, pff. A bullet in your head is what you're gonna get.

[pasatio]

All you antiAmericans care about is that Fidel stood up to America, at the expense of millions of Cuban's freedom though. You could care less. All you leftists make a big deal about Nelson Mandela's unjust incarceration. Well there are about a THOUSAND "Mandela's" in Cuba, and no one seems to give a damn...

[pasatio]

You've never been there, have no right to an opinion. You don't know what life under the iron curtain is, to work all day and own NOTHING, to have NO FREEDOM, no right to private enterprise, no right to an opinion, to be sentenced to 5, 25, 30 years for dissent, so SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU POSER! Canuck, figures...

[CyrustheVirus1234]

Whether you like him or not Cuba would be Americas bitch right now if he hadnt taken power. Im not saying this guy is a saint, I'm saying he realized America was going to ass rape his homeland unless something was done about it. Though if he was truely the patriot he claims to be, he wouldnt run a dictatorship. However, in the long run I say go Castro, because hes the underdog. PS, anyone who thinks he will ever be assassinated is dreaming. If it was possible, he would be dead.

[xxxToomy07]

Fidel is good for cuba. The country is fairer than in America where there are some very rich people and some very poor people.

[pasatio]

Oh shut up you ignorant fucking communist. My family fled Cuba after having everything taken off of them by the commies. Good thing they got out in time and fled the tyranny. Go there, live there. See if YOU like it, ha! Fucking POSER!

[23Pliskin23]

To reach egality for everyone, we must make sacrifices. You probably owned more than everyone else. He redistributed riches to the poor.

[pasatio]

You fucking asshole communist. What is yours, is YOURS! No one has the right to take away what is legitimately earned you stinking communist. Now Fidel owns EVERYTHING and has murdered and tortured thousands for the past 50 years.

[23Pliskin23]

Liberty to posess and own is a liberty to exploit less fortunate people. Yes im a communist in my heart and im proud of it because I don't think only for me. I try to help others when they need it. How useful is liberty to own if you are born a slave?

[pasatio]

Of course you are a communist. As a communist,you are a patronizer by default. You think you are BIGGER and will give others (me) what we need. Well, know what? We don't need your shit. And your BS philosophy failed miserably all over Eastern Europe, only after generations of enslavement, humiliation and murder. You don't know a GODDAMN about Cuba, and you never will. You live in your idealistic FANTASY communist world.

[pasatio]

Redistributing to the poor is WRONG, and also a hoax. First of all, what is legitimately earned, is YOURS, no one else's. And nothing was or is ever distributed to the poor, rather, EVERYONE got poorer than ever.

Now EVERYONE is poor and SCARED.

But you wouldn't believe that you moronic idealistic communist. You just believe your goddamn unrealistic fantasy.

[Zenboy23]

WHAT THE FUCK???

you guys never cease to amaze me....

really... WHAT-THE-FUCK is going on with you people and your politicians...

[CanitoRemix]

GOOOOOOOOOO ILEANA!!!!!! I VOTED 4 HER AND I'LL VOTE AGAIN!!! SHE IS THE BEST 4 MIAMI!

and TAKE CASTRO AND CHAVEZ DOWN. THEY GET FAT WHILE OUR FELLOW LATINOS ARE STARVING!!!

[StancelSpencer]

Crazy woman.

[mindlessacts]

How CANT an elected Congresswoman encourage assassinations of such evil people.

CASTRO SHOULD BE ASSINATED

[Mollweidekadet]

Fuck Castro and his wanker of a son

[robbanzana]

Oh, so Iraq asked for war when the Talibans crashed into WTC? I think you got your infos wrong, man. It's just blood for oil down there, nothing else.

[JAALIUS]

WTH???

HOW DO THEY ALLOW THIS ON TV ???

[robbanzana]

tvdude70, you stupid yank! At least Castro stays to himself and doesn't bomb defenseless arabs. Yes, the world would be destroyed if Bush stayed until age 80, but Castro is one of the few good dictators in the world. He deserves respect. Why is everyone so much against him? When Pinochet killed people left and right none of you dumb americans cared. Sure, Castro isn't perfect, but he's no megalomaniac imperialist fuck. Get real!

[UwAnAgOhUh]

Robbanzana you stupid yank... we didnt ask to bomb the shit outa them... they asked for it when THEY killed 3000 of our people...

you people make me sick... in WW2 WE GOT BOMBED BY JAPS AND WE NUKED EM AND YOU ALL LIKE "YAY!" NOW WE HAVENT EVEN NUKD EM YET AND YOU BITCHING, YOU DISGUST ME

(btw.. go watch the beheading of the live american, and then call us yanks)

[jordanjsanchez]

i really wouldnt consider the assasin who kills castro... i would consider him a hero... what if i killed castro... would i be a terrorist? i dont think so

[ken190]

youd be a fucking hero to me

[tvdude70]

You bunch of coolaid-drinking pinko commies! Some of you are calling for the assasination of Bush...and he has been elected twice and will be out of office in two years. I would like to hear what you would do if he, or anybody were in power for as long as Fidel has in Cuba. As far as you are concerned, dictators are ok...as long as they rule in other countries... and have a left-wing agenda.

[tvdude70]

If she were calling for the death of a democratically elected leader, THEN I would worry. Stop making apologies for dictators! Fidel Castro is a DICTATOR AND A BULLY!! and yes, he needs to be taken out. Let's send that message to all who want to perpetuate themselves in power, no matter their agenda. Death to all dictators!

[aohige]

It's amazing how ignorant some of the comments are.

The issue is NOT wether it's "right" or "wrong" to remove Castro from power. Of course we all know Castro is no saint, and is a dictator.

The issue here is, a congresswoman making speech to encourage act of terrorism. Whatever or Whoever the subject is, this is not tolerable in ANY circumstances.

You can't bend that if you desire to manage a lawfully governed nation.

[jordanjsanchez]

since when has asking for the assassination of castro been wrong? i have been asking that for years its about time a person in congress agrees with me... o yea and by the way im dead serious... all those who dont agree with lehtinen are either communists, ignorants, or dumbasses. i could already see that a few dumbasses have commented here already... WOW, that's all i can say... your parents didnt love you enough

[reknawfiend]

yes, because assassinating someone is the 'loving' thing to do right?

[matthewbgod]

the american government and the influential (rich)exiles dont want to kill castro for your sakes emilport74, yes of course you care, but they do not

[matthewbgod]

if it wasn't for Castro America would still control Cuba. Why are so many of those Cuban exiles in U.S.A business people? They dont give a fuck about their fellow Cubans, only the money they will make by privatising the country and all its resources. Greedy cunts all of 'em

[Emilport74]

Don't talk shit about Cuban exiles. We spend thousands of dollars every year sending money to our poor families in Cuba, so they can have something to eat or dress. We also spend a lot of money when we visit them because a trip to Cuba is much more expensive than a trip to China. And yes we give a great fuck about them, not you, stupid.

[iSpartan13]

Oh yes, she's also a scientologist...she won't tell you that though, bit of a screwball in general.Anyways,If you don't learn anything from my post, at least try to think a little bit(for yourself).

[iSpartan13]

I'm an Independent, leaning towards libetarianism and it doesn't take a genius to realise the liberal bias on this site.Good reason why I'm not one. Of course, few liberals would take the time to cofirm she's not only moderately Republican, but very liberal on some issues.Don't kid me wrong, I do notice the corruptness in the GoP though.They're (Dems and GoP) both corrupt and completly controlled by partisan groups.Anyways it's worth noting she's Cuban.

[WNanette]

spartan

Call me silly, but how on earth can you 'label' this thing a liberal? She's just as hawky as Cheney.

[Tinguaro68]

This woman is just disgusting! How can we teach value to the kids with people like this directing the country?

[rok100]

Republicans pretending to NOT-SEE the facts. Typical NOT-SEE PARTY drivel. GOP women are just like the GOP men - they have no testicles, no credibility, no acountability, no responsibility and the exact same genitalia. Hell, we might as well IGNORE their existence!

[ddeeffgghhiijjkk]

This is the kind of response YouTube like. Ignorants and dirty comments without any human value. Why garbagge always move to the top?.. Here is the answer

[che187]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaa­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahaha thats fucking congress for you. go capitalist system~

[BerilacBulge]

Out of sync and apparently overdubbed,but I agree completely.

Kill the monster and send him to Hell.

[jevdemon]

You go girl! I wish you were in my district so I could vote for you!

[buriticamd]

This women is a terrorist with a license. How can a congresswomen say such a thing> incite murder! She should serve some time in prison. Reminds us of what Pat Robertson said a few months ago about assassinating Chavez. This is not freedom of speech it is urging violence. Hope the lawyers and the legal symtem dont let this one go.

[puddy6798]

Cuba will never be a threat to the U.S. The day that happens Cuba will cease to exist. However, Congressswoman Lehtinen should stop trying to impress her voter base miami cubans and miami cubans should stop being impressed and voting for cuban American politicians that will never do anything for them or cuba.

[luizomf]

well spoken puddy

[ddeeffgghhiijjkk]

OK a..ladino35, How many people you don't like are killed by you in the last decade?... or you are just like this " woman " a BIG MOUTH republican?  Get a life.

[aladino35]

the way a see it. everybody respond to their own interest, I`m cuban so i respond to my own , beside killing a beast as castro is will bring better to a whole nation ( cuba) so for me he can drop dead right away , nobody is going to cry

[soylover]

This woman is inciting murder and supporting terrorism. She will be the ranking Republican member of the House International Relations Comm. god help us.

[aladino35]

what`s wrong with you people, we are not talking here about a human being castro is a beast and he deserve to die just like saddan hussein osama ben laden and all those who murder their own people , and by the way, when castro die cuba is gonna be better

[convolved]

I agree with that BUT we can't have Representatives calling for assinations! These fucking wing-nuts don't represent anything America stands for. We are hated like never before and that really hurts us as a whole. These insane idiots have been so arrogant in doing and saying what they want with no repercussions. There is nothing wrong with freedom of speech but there is something wrong with reckless statements that hurt an entire country!

[convolved]

Republicans as well as the media have killed the United States Of America! The Repugs, Right-Wingers, Christian Right are terrorists in their own right. They attack people on a daily basis. They are hate filled, arrogant, liars. YES, I hate people that destroy a country because of their insane hate filled agenda.

[aladino35]

then you might hate somebody like castro, or maybe is not your business , since you are not( just guessing) cuban

[aladino35]

better be like that instaed of having pussies in congress, if you american want freedom and liberty that comes for a prices, there `s always going to be nation that hate the american way of life, Im not american and I like the liberties you got over here I know what dictatorship means so you (americans) need tough people in the congress to keep those liberties here in amrica

[LoCoJedi187]

Fuck Fidel Castro the Old Fucker Should be dead long with Che

[puddy6798]

The only way to eradicate the communist is war. JFK. knew this and was on the right track, until the russians got involved.

You see thomasjohnshannon, military intervention is not always a bad thing and the cubans are long over due.

[puddy6798]

The embargo agianst Cuba by the U.S. was due to the illegal seizure of all American companies by the Cuban government. China has never illegally seized any American company. That is why America deals with communist China and not communist Cuba.

[puddy6798]

Thats the problem shes an American now and a politician. With that comes certain responsibilities.

I think we should let the American military starting sending missiles to Cuba and sink it to the bottom of the ocean.

[thomasjohnshannon]

Is Cuba a threat to America? No And what about all the people in Cuba that would be friendly to us? It's people like you that are ruining this country. You need to grow up and learn that you can't solve every problem with bullets and bombs. And if Cuba is such a problem then why do we have friendly relations with China. A communist country that is an economic and military threat.

[aladino35]

cuba might not be a threat to usa ,castro is the ..threat.. the cuban people have nothing to do with usa we are not a threat castro should die and even dead he won`t paid for all the damage he did

[convolved]

So should people kill one of the biggest terrorists named Bush? Because of him 250,000 innocents were killed in Iraq. Ahhh, you didn't know that huh? or you don't give a fuck. I am not anti-war if it is a just war. This was for Halliburton and oil. Only a "fool" would think otherwise.

[jkdcuban]

fuck anybody who doesnt agree with her. shes absolutely right and u cant fully understand what she means unless ur cuban and feel what shes sayin.

[cuilo]

WHAT

THE

FUCK

[flyguy1987]

Kokonut pundit had it right in his analysis of this video.

[puddy6798]

The United States Congress is bound by laws and ethics. For a Congresswoman to publicly announce and support the assassination of any head of state is unacceptable. She will be held accountable for her remarks by congress. Expect an apology or retraction sometime in the near future.

[iBoostGTI]

for those who don't know she has neglected to have ever said that and has even proven that the video was edited.. so watch out what you say about cubans because although I would sure hope CASTRO could die soon, she's much smarter than me to say such a thing in public cameras!

[xfetichex]

She is a Cuban? by the name and the attitude looks more like a nazi. I guess she will support the Iraq's war too, the only problem is that she sends other people. The ones that elect her should be in the front line of combat. CkSs

[Rayarena]

There is nothing wrong with calling for the assassination of Castro who is a psychopathic killer responsible for thousands of deaths, and the utter destruction of what was once a beautiful country. Just go to Havana that had an architectural patrimony before Castro that was considered the most beautiful in the Americas and you will see what looks like a bombed out Beirut. Castro wasn't even elected to the presidency. He doesn't have the Cuban people's mandate. He is an evil tyrant.

[clemtoe]

what's worse is the way he staved off a coun ter-coup by promising a return to the '43 constitution while he established his police state.

[texan1968]

And liberals don't mind if other are oppressed as long as it's not them! He's a freaking dictator! But liberals love dictators...just like Jimmy Peanut! Move to Cuba and see how you like it!

[tabbytown]

You so-called state that "liberals love dictators?" Seems to me the cowardly, know-nothing right wing in America supports Bush, our "war paint prezzie" (who just happens to be AWOL from the Vietnam War dontchaknow).

Peace, ebbybody!

[texan1968]

Did you serve? Did Clinton serve? No. I did!

I may have not liked Clinton but I do have respect for the office...unlike you, disrespectful punk!

Coward? That fits you to a T.

Liberals, all about as smart as a box of rocks!

[edizzle1981]

and that's what republiCAN'Tism is all about

[blazak]

Republicans sure love violence! WWJD?

[clemtoe]

i guess this is the part where the "to kill a president" crowd pretends to be against assasination.

[puddy6798]

If all of you were really political asylum cases you would not be returning to cuba FOR ANYTHING because you might not be coming back.Most CUBANS are full of shit you cant believe anything they say.They say one thing and do the complete opposite consistently lying there asses off to achieve whatever means they wish to obtain and this again is another one of those moments.

[puddy6798]

Those of you need to understand and focus that you are now in a new country and that country is America you all need to remember that and stop claiming political asylum when you get here and wind up returning to cuba for vacation once you have you obtained your American Citizenship.

[puddy6798]

Cuba is now and for the past 46 years a communist country.I know CUBANS dont want to accept this but ITS BEEN OVER FOR OVER 46 YEARS learn to deal with it or go back to your BELOVED ISLAND you love so much.

[puddy6798]

Just goes to show that CUBAN AMERICANS are not finished with CUBA or the CUBAN AGENDA.One would think that a U.S. congresswoman would have other American issues and interests on which to focus.

[tabbytown]

Leave it to the cowardly crazies of the GOP to advocate murdering a head of state. Whether one likes him or hates him, Castro is indeed the recognized leader of Cuba. Perhaps our Republican fiends should get their cracks to Iraq and fight in a real war...

[texan1968]

I did...so pricks like you could live it FREEDOM...And you're welcome! Problem is we have to fight this politically correct war...thanks to people like you.

Sleep well tonight and Thank God you live in a country where you are allow to be a moron!

[nlr2101]

her emphatic pronunciation of the word "assassinate" leaves no doubt in my mind that she actively condones the murder of fidel. there's no way to splice that.

[clemtoe]

progressives re offended by talk like this because the words" death to tyrants" stirrs nothing within them. progressives and "anarchists" are not truly revolutionary in the sense that they oppose dictatorship. they support revolution only against non-socialist states to the end of instituting socialist dictatorship in those places. they certainly regard their own assasins as heros.

[pointecoupee]

She said it. And she also supports torture in the United States. I hope residents of Miami and of the keys will vote her out of office.

[clemtoe]

you said that she supports torture in the united states. can you substantiate this claim?

[Malvisk]

Who cares.

Castro does need to die, as do all socialists and commies.

Goodbye Chavez

[flnyguy27]

what a scumbag this woman is. its not doctored at all, it is an edited cut, where they first take her intro and then put in her comment about assasinating castro. THOUGH PERHAPS SHE HAD PREFACED IT WITH "I'D BE A REAL DUMB BITCH OF I SAID THIS..."

[maxfitusa]

Death to that fucking pig Fidel Castro.

[rbarbosa24]

this a fake clip they edited so for it to look like she is saying. well go for it

[RealitySage]

It's obviously a splice job. Even if she said it who cares? Ole' Fidel will probably die soon anyway. Castro has become the darling of the American left, and nitwits like Jimmy Carter have visited him seemingly oblivious to the fact of what a brutal thug he is. The collective is mob rule, and the left sucks on the government nipple at someone elses expense-with the first things going out the window being human rights. I never understood the left's need to be bossed around by the government.

[dallas59]

Somebody needs to get rid of Chavez too. Painfuly!

[mangufufu]

This video does not seem authentic. Those of you that are quick to throw her to the wolves go to

www dot therealcuba dot com Educate yourself on what's happening in the island and then maybe you'll understand the frustration of many Cuban-Americans.

[dallas59]

LOL! Just got an Email saying someone's going to call the FBI on me! LOL! Please call the CIA too!

[dallas59]

It's fake...Who cares..Fidel is needs to be dead...cancer...bullets....kni­ves....any which way you choose. He needed to be dead 50 years ago.

Even if she did say this, doesnt Castro have hundreds of political prisoners serving 25 year sentences for democratic activism? Didnt he join up with Iran just last month at the UN, to censure Canada's human rights record in an effort to blunt any condemnation by Canada of Iran regarding the torture and murder of a Cdn female journalist?? Come on..who cares if a politician wants Castro dead?. He isnt a freely elected leader, he is an oppressive dictator.

[clemtoe]

yes. within 9 months of taking power, castro had imprisoned ten times as many as the "u.s.-backed fascist" did.

The entire video is out of sync for me, so it's extremely hard to tell if what she's saying is matching her lips. Could be doctored...

[waverunner88]

Ok, I just listened to it again (without watching the video this time), and it does sound just like her voice throughout the entire clip. So, maybe it's not doctored after all! ; )

[flordebayu]

and she is going to be in charge of what in congress?

[BOHEMIANPHAPSODY]

Fake or not....DEAD to Castro....

[dackmaddy]

Two things are required in order to get elected in Miami. A criminal past (or present) and extreme hate of Castro. Nothing else seems to matter.

[edplove]

it's fake, right before she says "having anyone assasinate" you can see her lips out of sinc...

[dearpeter]

Props to the journalist for getting material like that off a congerwoman. "You are feeling sleepy. Sleepy, confident, and very open..."

[Hirnlego999]

I'm no fan of Castro but this woman is nuts.

[dangerouslysane]

Haven't we been down this slimy road already? How utterly irresponsible!

Rep. Ros-Lehtinen should be held to account for her statements--with such a nincompoop as she in Congress, we get set up for more blowback. Her rhetoric represents a threat to our national security, as it invites even more hostility from other nations.

[distanthowl]

What monsters these Christiansts have become. There are

millions of violent deaths on the bloody hands of this USA.

[Clapper1120]

Yes, those "Christiansts." Way to use a form of "Islamist." Oh so smart of you. Unfortunately, only one group will cut off your head; you probably know who I am talking about.

[maakhir]

and the other group will bomb you , no difference ,killing is killing

[Clapper1120]

If you were responding to my comment then let me clarify: Not only will the Islamic extremists cut off your head, they will also bomb as well. Yes, killing is killing. However, one groups appears to be killing quite a bit more than the other group, if you know what I'm saying.

117 In the two most serious cases, CIA officials were found to have actively worked to kill Patrice Lumumba, the Premier of the Congo, [*PG20]and Cuban Leader Fidel Castro.118 In three other incidents—involving Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic, Ngo Dihn Diem of South Vietnam, and Rene Schneider of Chile—the U.S. government was not held directly responsible for the actual killings, but did support the coups that brought about their deaths.

115 Responding to continued allegations that the U.S. intelligence committee had plotted to end the lives of several foreign leaders during the 1950s and 1960s, the Church Committee launched an extensive investigation that culminated in sixty days of formal hearings and more than 8,000 pages of sworn testimony.116 In its 346-page report, the committee concluded that the United States was indeed involved in five different assassination plots.

Executive Order 12333 and its predecessors indirectly arose from the November 1975 investigation by the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations. Led by Senator Frank Church, the committee was charged with uncovering government operations that were "illegal, improper, or unethical." (cont'd)

[aragee]

The irony of this call for the assassination of Castro is that the Executive Order that prohibits the assassination of foreign leaders, No. 12333113, came about as a result of an investigation into a series of covert assassination attempts in the 50s and 60s -- one of which targeted Fidel Castro: (cont'd)

[socalhim]

by the way you should give credit to Evan Derackz who penned the words above. he's a contributing editor to Alternet. You can find the article in its entirety on www dot alternet dot org

[socalhim]

excuse me, the last name is spelled Derkacz.

[socalhim]

not contributing editor either, but i should have said blogger...anyhoo..lol

[efrankal]

Surely there is some law against an elected member of congress supporting assassination so openly?

The scariest thing is this woman was re-elected comfortably last month... and the US wonders why the rest of the world thinks it has double standards...
