"That one's a Communist." In the highly charged political community of the Miami exiles, that's how anyone who doesn't agree with everything you say can be instantly dismissed, marginalized and demonized. Whether or not you're actually a Red is irrelevant. Once you get the label, you are effectively silenced. Perhaps you can see why I find that attitude so infuriating in my own countrymen.
