YA well there is more of it than just the surface.True feelings of people came to surface from this event.
I lived in Miami at that time,I was witness first hand to it all.
The dirty truth was on US1 whites and blacks banded together and flew American flags (and rebel flags) with signs saying thing like "one less Cuban,a million more to go".Oh yes,think this was about a kid and a father?No it was about whites and blacks mad at Cubans coming over and taking jobs,at least in their eyes.
On the flip side the Cubans flew American flags upside down,blocked off traffic.My company owned by a Cuban gave us the day off.Funny that same company a couple years latter the general manager decided on memorial day we should work anyway because we had many customers not taken care of yet.
Im not saying everybody is this way but it brought to light that many have bitterness in their thoughts.Funny that blacks that usually hate the rebel flag and it is flown against them that day they stood by it to protest Cubans.Funny that whites who vote Democrat and Republican suddenly were more concerned with getting back at all Cubans.Funny that a certain Cuban company gives a paid holiday to go protest Elian but on Memorial day decides to not pay homage but make money instead.
Debunk away, I'm all for it. However using the OP's assertions in this example is quite frankly desperate. This ranks right up there with Obama being a secret radical Muslim from a sleeper cell in a Connecticut suburb that is converting protestant gentiles to become suicide bombers.
Whats next, Obama lit the match that burned Waco too?
Not even close. I posted a FACTUAL story, one with proof attached, (unless your claiming these people dont work for Obama).. That is a far cry from a "radical Muslim". I have made no such assertion and stand by the posting simply because its factual. I made absolutely NO assumptions or comment on the orginal posting, so what part of it is "desperate"?
so now any association of Republicans are also off limit or is it just associations of Democrats?
Please Pg, don't even try to paint me in this way, it is beneath you. It isn't that there are associations that do matter because there certainly are, it is just that this isn't one of them.
PG, you associate on this forum with liberals, communist, socialist and even racist nazi types on this forum, so where does one place the associative distinctions? If you agree with one position of McCain that a neonazi does, will this make you guilty of association? If you own a company and one of your employees is molesting children, does this mean you support pedophiles even if you didn't know?
Point is, where do YOU make the associative distinction where the actions of a campaign worker are one and the same as that of the candidate. (for future reference)

There is a difference between when a Democrat runs on a platform to get elected based upon 100% of "Change", and then tries to paint your opponent off as the same old stuff.
Pointing this out the hiring of those who worked for Clinton to help run his administration is not only fair, but points out a contradiction in the platform of "Change".
If you ran a company that involved saving molestation of children, and you found out that your employees were molesting children, and you continued to allow it to happen, yes, your free to be criticized on it.
You can choose to take the news story as that, a news story, or you can sit here and attack the poster, (as many here have done), but it doesnt change the contradiction in Obama, who's running on an "outside the beltway" and change platform. Just like everytime McCain does something, individuals here are quickly to compare the actions of McCain and Bush, why is an Obama, Clinton comparison quickly written off as partisan by those who dont like a simply news story being posted... mmmm
Anything used on Obama is not right to use it, anything 1 hour ago is old news and you cannot use it but something McCain did 40 years ago is used almost in every thread by the Obamakins.
Obama is not about change people, he just uses it to fool people into thinking he is. His voting records is not different, his personal life is not different, his associations with criminals is not different, nothing about the man if different, other then he has found a way to fool people into thinking he is different.
This is sad that Obama makes a huge number of poor decisions and its ok by some.
The thing I remember most about that whole mess was that so called family of theirs .. waht a bunch of exploitive attention W^%$#s.
