Right-wing Cuban exiles attack journalist in Miami

I was video taping a demonstration between Code Pink and Cuban exiles on Calle Ocho in Miami when a group of Cubans accused me of being a communist because they saw me talking to members of Code Pink.

The right-wing exiles are a bunch of terrorists. Google Nestor Castellanos (recorded saying "We're waiting for Kennedy the 22d, buddy" in Oct 1963) and Homer Echevarria (told an informant in an illegal arms deal on Nov 21 63 that his group now had "plenty of money" and his backers would proceed "as soon as we take care of Kennedy.")

@GoFullRetard I'm cuban, and I agree with you :P

@GoFullRetard It's funny that you mention reading comprehension. Your initial response to me (and everything after that) has nothing to do with my initial comment. If you are claiming you have no hatred for Cubans in general then my initial comment has nothing to do with you and you should not have responded. If you want an answer to your last question take that up with your congressman, not me, it's not something I care about because it doesn't bother me in any way.

@jinaz2008 Haha, amen!

@Spazerrific Apparently Miami-Dade schools failed once again because your reading comprehension sucks. I never said I hate all Cubans. You asked a question and I provided an answer. If I myself hated all Cubans, why do you think I'd still live in Miami? Duh. Get a clue. You just want something to whine about. Those crazy guys in the video aren't dying off either and aren't all old. By the way, if the new exiles don't care about politics, then are they really "refugees" and deserve the status?

[Spazerrific]

@GoFullRetard You keep proving me right, you are prejudiced against all Cuban people not just those who call themselves exiles. I've never met any young Cuban immigrants (immigrants not exiles) who care about any of your political crap so yes you are indeed talking about the actions of a few. The people you are talking about are old, ignorant, and dying off. You are nothing but a bitter individual with nothing better to do than complain about how much you hate Cubans all day. Good day.

@Spazerrific I enjoy judging? Please.You asked why and I clearly explained. Enough of your pity-party and what a weak retort. If it were "just a few" then perhaps any educated non-Cuban Anglo, Hispanic, African-American, or what-have-you in Miami wouldn't roll their eyes at Cuban "exiles" that just ask to be marginalized and set themselves apart from the rest of the community. 1957 was a long time ago. The exiles lost their country on their own accord and decided to flee than fight for it.

[Spazerrific]

@GoFullRetard Thank you for clarifying that you enjoy judging an entire people based on the actions of a few. Next time, be more specific about exactly who it is you're talking about. Stick to extremist right-wing Cuban exiles, not the rest. A lot of the comments are indeed prejudiced toward the Cuban people in general especially those who survive the struggle of crossing the Florida strait (most of whom don't give a hoot about politics). Good day.

@Spazerrific It has everything to do with your response. You're lamenting people leaving anti-Cuban comments and I am explaining why people (coincidentally of all races and orientations) feel that way. The Cuba obsession, so to speak, that typically parallels a bizarre right-wing political mindset. Most the comments people are leaving on this are not racist, but more or less scoffing Cuban exiles.
