Default "I Want Castro Assassinated"

"MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- A congresswoman says a video clip showing her calling for Fidel Castro's assassination is fake, a charge denied Sunday by the film's director.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Florida, appears in the 28-second clip made available on the Internet by the makers of a new British documentary, "638 Ways to Kill Castro."

In it, she says: "I welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate Fidel Castro and any leader who is oppressing the people."

However, the Havana-born lawmaker, recently tapped to become the top Republican on the House International Relations Committee, says the filmmakers spliced clips together to make the sound bite." -CNN.com

>>>Is there anything wrong with those paragraphs? I mean outside of the facts that 1) Ros-Lehtinen is a displaced Cuban who wants to use the US to overthrow Fidel (a la the neocons with Saddam, 2) she is lying about not saying she wants Fidel assassinated, 3) she prefers Batista oppression to Fidel oppression, and 4) the Republicans want to make her their top kick on the International Relations Committee?

I thought the Reps had learned their lessons about putting extreme assholes into positions of responsibility. Apparently they have NOT.

I saw this and clearly the voice does NOT match the movement of the lips.

Seems to me to be a hoax, Mikey MOORE job.

If we wanted to put extreme assholes in positions of responsibility we'd hire Democrats.

The video is a fake.
