A DISGRACE, AND A GREAT REPLY - AT 10:30 A.M. ET:  As some of you may know, Rep. Diane Watson of California, a pro-Marxist member of the California Democratic delegation to Congress, has endorsed Fidel Castro as one of the brightest leaders she's ever met.  In a startling statement, Watson also praised the Cuban health-care system and suggested that those who oppose President Obama on the health issue do so only because he's black. 

Silvio Canto Jr., on whose radio show I'm privileged to appear, has written a sharp, documented reply to Congresswoman Watson.  It's here, and I urge you to go to it.

Diane Watson represents what I call the tragedy of liberalism.  I wrote about it at the Angel's Corner, published last night.  One element of that tragedy is the infiltration of the civil-rights movement by the extreme left, and the devastating impact that has had.  Indeed, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, also of California, and the head of the Congressional Black Caucus, is also a supporter of Fidel Castro.

The country buries Ted Kennedy today, but it was his brother, Bob Kennedy, when he was attorney general in the sixties, who went to Martin Luther King Jr. and pleaded with him to get the reds out of the civil rights movement.   

Silvio Canto Jr., through his own cultural background, knows the subject of Castro and his reign of terror very well.  Please read what he's written.  We are in danger now from a president, and his radical allies in Congress, who have never understood the threat that communism poses to our liberties.
