Clinton slams GOP rival's Cuba remark

By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Taking a swipe at a potential GOP
presidential rival, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday
criticized Fred Thompson for suggesting Cuban immigrants pose
a terrorist threat.

"I was appalled when one of the people running for or about to
run for the Republican nomination talked about Cuban refugees
as potential terrorists," Clinton told Hispanic elected officials.
"Apparently he doesn't have a lot of experience in Florida or
anywhere else, and doesn't know a lot of Cuban-Americans."

Thompson, who is polling strongly among GOP primary voters
and is expected to join the race soon, made the comment at
a campaign stop Wednesday in South Carolina.

The actor and former Tennessee senator was criticizing an
immigration bill in the Senate, contending it would make the
country more vulnerable to terrorism.

"I don't imagine they're coming here to bring greetings from
Castro. We're living in the era of the suitcase bomb," Thompson
said. Fidel Castro is Cuba's leader.

1. Awaiting the Hillary bashers to chime in ......

Should be interesting.

5. I just hope she would also defend any immigrant nationality.

Whether Saudi or Chinese. I only hope it's not selective.

2. Maybe she should educate herself. (As if she doesn't know this.)

There is a terrorist faction within the Miamicuban exile community (the factions (CANF, Brigade 2506. Alpha 66, etc) that Fred Tompson and Hillary pander to for campaign contributions).

For example..

4. Wow, what an idiotic remark. But the more voting ethnic groups he alienates the better.

6. When I see a picture of Fred Thompson

I can't help it, the word "Dork!" just comes to mind. Happy to see that he is living up to my low expectations.
