Current Events » in reply to Well then show me support for Castro that comes from some semi-reputable left-wing source

Good question.

Depends on where you draw your bar for "lunatic."

ANSWER fields tens of thousands of protestors across the country and has considerable political influence in some areas, yet when I quote them, it's treated as though I quoted one guy in the basement pounding out a web page.

Liberal groups routinely treat representatives of Castro's government as though that government wasn't a tyranny. You might remember the big library flap here some months back. What used to amaze me was that, years ago, many of these same groups and people wouldn't have allowed someone even remotely related to the establishment of apartheid South Africa to breath the same air as they did.

Some of the people mentioned in this article have a bit of influence in America as well.

I also remember the liberal Sandinista-worshipping back in the 1980s. In earlier years, you could still find a lot of people who though Mao was the greatest thing that ever happened to China.
