10. When have I used the term "commie lovers?"

I concede that having a full-time job and other interests prevents me from being a Cuba expert. I'm doing the best I can to develop a fact-based opinion on what my country should do that best helps both nations.

I used the term Castro supporters, and even Castroistas, to delineate people who specifically support the policies of Fidel and Raul Castro, and of the current Cuban government. Never in my life, online or off, have I ever called anyone a "Commie Lover" or "Pinko" or any other pejorative. It's not my thing.

But you have no problem calling a life-long Democrat a "Right Wing Hate Monger" over a difference of opinion on Cuban socialism. Why is that?
