They are very courageous, because the people who hate them are unscrupulous, and support violence against progressives.

They've been attacked, even in Miami, where they dared to protest Miami's protection of Luis Posada Carriles, a lifelong terrorist against post-revolution Cuban nationals, who co-authored a Cubana airliner mass murder, killing everyone on board a plane bearing the Cuban Fencing Team, returning from a tournament in a Latin American country, some of them children!

Luis Posada Carriles and his co-author of that mass murder, a fellow murdering terrorist, Orlando Bosch, have been honored as heroes in Miami from the first. Posada Carriles was a CIA operative in Iran/Contra in Central America, and both men have been involved in murders of political "enemies" their entire adult lives.

Same people ran after a little float bearing Code Pink, ripping signs off it, and throwing stuff, shrieking, etc., and those guys are dirty players, even murdering people who disagree with them.

Brave people:

People could make far worse decisions for their lives than to protest evil, right?

Thanks, McKim.
