Miami planning Castro death party

[WI_DEM]

I'm not fan of Fidel, but don't you think this is a bit much?

With Fidel Castro seriously ill, the city of Miami is making plans ot throw a party at a local football stadium when the Cuban president dies, complete with themed T-shirts...

3. What do you expect from people that voted for BUSH twice?

5. But didn't Miami/Dade county vote for Gore and Kerry?

[sandrakae]

16. Well if that is the case, then they should know better.

What are they celebrating?

Castro's brother is already firmly ensconced in Cuba and nothing is going to change. Why don't they take the money and fix up Miami a little bit or feed some hungry families? How stupid.

4. I'd like for a liberal city to have a George Bush death party when the time comes

either H.W. or W.

8. I'd like to think liberals are better people.

Than assholes like this who take some perverse pleasure in dancing all over someone's grave.

6. Good an excuse as any to enjoy a mojito

7. Sick Fuggs

THey will all die too.

9. Miami is the only city

In America with its own foreign policy. If you run for ANY office, even Dogcatcher, you need to be the guy who hates Catro the most.

11. Actually Madison has a foreign policy too, but it's anti-Iraq war

[Sailor for Warner]

12. Ok Ok Ok I amend,

Miami was the first US city with its own policy. Before the condemnation resolutions became en vouge.

13. I think it's sick to have a death party for anyone unless...

the one who is going to die specifically says they want a party. Thing is, what makes these people think things will be any different when Castro does finally die?

[scarletwoman]

14. Yeah, like when the Left threw a big party when Nixon died.

Oh well. Let assholes be assholes, I suppose. Reality will get around to them sooner or later...

On further thought, I WILL certainly celebrate when Henry Kissinger dies -- but I doubt that I'll be able to get an entire U.S. city to foot the bill.
