12. Thank you for pointing out something that a lot of DUers don't understand.

.. and that is that not all Cuban-Americans are hard line reichwingnuts. Many are Dems, including very liberal/leftist Dems. I have been pointing that fact out for years on DU.

Many had fled the Batista/US backed corporate oligarchy. As a matter of fact, it took the Mariel mass smuggling op for there to be more Cuban immigrants who had left Cuba post '59 revolution than pre revolution.

It was a minority of Miami-Dadecubanos who supported the kidnapping of Elian by the CANF/Ninoska Perez factions.


Thank you. :thumbsup:
