However Julian Castro is NO RELATION to Fidel Castro, am I right?
BTW I went to school in the 1960's with an American girl whose last name was Hitler. (no relation)

These are the people who did the 'Osama - Obama - Osama - Obama' idiocy, clearly intimating that if their names sound alike, they must be exactly alike!
I would love to see such a candidacy, but the right-wingers would be beside themselves with joy to be able to ask, over and over and over again: "Was Castro born here? Huh? Huh? We want Murrikkkans for Presdint! Not no illegal immigrints!"
