HEAVEN FORBID THAT BERNIE SANDERS SAID SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT CUBA

Sanders praised Cuba for its literacy campaign that taught 700,000 Cubans to read and write. True to form, the mainstream media quotes experts in Miami, such as Democratic Rep. Donna Shalala, who claim that Sanders is praising “a murderous tyrant like Fidel Castro.” I wonder what Shala and others would be saying if Sanders had referred to other important breakthroughs of the Cuban government such as in the area of health. And she’d probably go berserk if Sanders had pointed out that the 60-year embargo imposed by the U.S. has something to do with Cuba’s economic difficulties.
