University of Ottawa Scolds Ann Coulter, Embraces Fidel Castro

In his cautionary letter to Ann Coulter before her recently scheduled speech at the University of Ottawa, the institutions' provost, Francois Houle, explained that: "Our domestic laws, both provincial and federal, delineate freedom of expression (or 'free speech') in a manner that is somewhat different than the approach taken in the United States."

Watch it Breitbart!—Britain Might Ban You!

Last summer the British government banned U.S. radio commentator Michael Savage from setting foot in the UK."Fostering extremism and hatred " was his crime, as explained by Britain's Home Secretary of the time, Jacqui Smith. "Coming to the U.K. is a privilege," she elaborated, "and I refuse to extend that privilege to individuals who abuse our standards and values to undermine our way of life. Therefore, I will not hesitate to name and shame those who foster extremist views as I want them to know that they are not welcome here."

Soderbergh’s Movie “Che” and Historical Accuracy

"Steven Soderbergh made certain his new movie, "Che," about the life of revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara, couldn't be attacked -- at least on a factual level. (CNN Entertainment, January 1, 2009)

Cuba’s Free and Fabulous Healthcare

Back in August 2009 BB (Before Scott Brown) CNN was frantically producing infomercials for Obama's healthcare plan. Lucky for them Michael Moore had a handy supply of valuable footage from his infomercials for Castro's healthcare plan.

Castro Regime Murders Black Human Rights Activist

On Feb 23^th Black Human Rights activist Orlando Zapata-Tamayo died after an 83 day hunger strike and a series of savage beatings by his Castroite jailer/torturers.

Che Guevara on IPhone

You knew it was coming. Well, now you can carry around Che Guevara's quotes on your IPhone-- as just announced by the good folks at IPhone! Alas, many of us, though not customer of this unquestionably hip product, suspect that most of Che Guevara's hippest quotes are missing from this hippest of IPhones. Among those we fear were overlooked:

Glenn Beck’s “Revolutionary Holocaust” Outrages Liberals

Nazis (and by implication all "right- wingers," past and present) were inherently wicked. Their agenda was evil from A to Z, their methods along with their goals.

The Fantasies of Castro/Che Groupies vs. the Facts

Chris Crocker has nothing on most Che Guevara fans. His anguish in “Leave Britney Alone!” pales to what I’ve seen and heard from “hecklers”during many college lectures. The more painstakingly-documented the facts I discharge into the fog of ignorance that blankets many campuses, the more shrill and anguished comes the reactions, often from faculty!

“New Castro / Same Cuba”

This article's title copies the title of report issued last month which its authors (Human Rights Watch) describe as their “most comprehensive analysis of conditions for Cuba since Raúl Castro took power.”

Castro’s Berlin Wall—Still Alive and Killing

OK, a decent interval has passed since Freedom-Week. So I'm no party-pooper. The fall of the Berlin Wall certainly merited all the festivities. Its raising, almost thirty years earlier, had finally whacked many of the “enlightened” on the head, grabbed them by the ears and shoved their faces for a close-up of an enclosure that had gone up 14 years earlier: the Iron Curtain.

When Fidel Castro Dictated to the Old U.S. Media

“We cannot for a second abandon propaganda. Propaganda is vital -- propaganda is the heart of all struggles.” (Fidel Castro in a letter to a revolutionary colleague in 1954)

Anita Dunn—Pots and Kettles

So Obama's Communications director, Anita Dunn, bashes Fox as a “propaganda arm” for the Republican party?

Rush Limbaugh is “Divisive”, but “VIVA FIDEL!” says Jesse Jackson

Jesse Jackson's (public) objections to Rush Limbaugh's NFL ownership plan ran roughly as follows: “Rush Limbaugh made his wealth appealing to the fears of whites with an unending line of insults against blacks and other minorities...the National Football League has set high standards for racial justice and inclusion."

Che Guevara: Assassin, Coward, Imbecile

"SENTENCE first – VERDICT afterwards," said the Queen. "Nonsense!" said Alice loudly. "Off with her head!" the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. – Alice In Wonderland They say Lewis Carroll was a serious dope fiend, his mind totally scrambled on opium, when he concocted "Alice in Wonderland." A place where the sentence comes first and the verdict afterward? Where people who protest the madness are sentenced to death themselves? What lunacy!

Fidel Castro advises Ahmadinejad and Gadhafi

Ahmadinejad and Gadhafi got many New York doors slammed in their face last week. The Helmsley Hotels hurriedly hung "No Vacancy!" signs and Gotham Hall canceled Ahmadinejad's reservation for the site as a speech and banquet hall. Gadhafi was finally reduced to sleeping on the couch of the Libyan UN ambassador's Manhattan apartment. Then 11 members of the General Assembly stormed out during Ahmadinejad's UN speech.

The Stakes in Honduras

“That little black boy (“negrito”) doesn't know what he's doing!” snapped Honduran foreign minister Enrique Ortez this July, 4. “He (Obama) doesn't know anything about anything!” continued Ortez. “He probably can't even find Tegucigalpa on a map.”

Castro Thanks Kennedy’s

"The Kennedy family, in particular the assassinated President, John F. Kennedy, were representative of a new generation of Americans confronting the old and dirty politics of men in the mold of Nixon...The Kennedy family's (role) in Barack Obama's electoral victory should not be overlooked. Without that moral, political and financial support, the dirty saga of the Bush and Nixon clans would be continuing."

French “Justice” vs Cuban-American “Vengeance”

American GIs liberated Paris 65 years ago last week. But pay no attention to the French troops strutting at the fore of the liberation parades on newsreels. Sure, some fought, mainly Foreign Legionnaires. But Ike allowed their strutting because Ike was "politically correct" before political correctness was cool.

CBS’ Don Hewitt—Fidel Castro Enabler

Forty years after his media advance-work helping install a Stalinist regime in Cuba the legendary Don Hewitt of CBS still seemed proud of his work as a Castro media auxiliary. During that interim, over 20,000 Cubans were murdered by firing squad and beaten or starved to death in forced labor camps. Another 70-80 thousand were ripped apart by sharks or drowned in the Florida straits (attempting to flee a nation that previously took in more immigrants per-capita than the U.S.)

“Cuba’s Healthcare, a Model for the U.S.” says CNN

Good thing for us that Rich Noyes of The Media Research Center keeps on eye on CNN. Good thing for CNN too. Given the latest Nielsen ratings (that finds them 17th during prime time) Ted “Fidel Castro is one helluva guy!” Turner's brainchild should be grateful for any and all viewers, whatever their motivation.
