I'm like Mandelas biggest fan and not so much a fan of Obama and I'm not upset.
WHY WOULD YOU BE?
I was drawing a contrast to partisan faux attacks against Cruz. I am no Cruz fan, but I agree with him turning his back on Castro.
But, OK, many Democrats on this forum are big Castro fans I guess so are outraged that Cruz wouldn't shake is hand and showed contempt of Castro. On another thread, I posted I would have preferred if President Obama had kicked Castro in the nuts.
Candidly, I don't know much about Mandela so don't really have much opinion of him one way or the other. If he was a human and civil rights hero, then I certainly would agree he was a hero. Sort of simple really.
How the hell that would make Castro also a civil rights hero is just bizarre to me.
