Bush's War On Terror...

>


...doesn't include certain terrorists. Consider yourself lucky you weren't one of the 73 passengers on the plane that was bombed by a right-wing terrorist the Bush family has coddled and granted asylum. This particular terrorist, in fact, became "the cornerstone of the campaign by Ileana Ros-Lehtinen for her run for the U.S. Congress. The campaign became Free Orlando Bosch. Her campaign manager was a young, ambitious politician named Jeb Bush." Take a look at the clip:



Earlier today we welcomed Ros-Lehtinen's Democratic opponent, Annette Taddeo, to a Blue America chat. Cuba and Cuban refugees no longer dominate the politics of South Florida. Even Little Havana, which is part of the district in question, is no longer a Cuban-majority area. We barely even touched on the "Cuba question" at all, other than to note that, although Ros-Lehtinen used it to propel a political career, it hasn't led anywhere other than to right wing demagoguery. For example, here's Ros-Lehtinen herself urging the assassination of Fidel Castro. I thought that was illegal. Is it ok for members of Congress? Or ok if the head of state is someone "we" don't like?



Don't be upset-- just remember what Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) tells the media about Ros-Lehtinen: "she's a moderate." In what world?
