Exploding Cigar II: Florida's Democrats panic after Bernie Sanders blows a kiss to Castro
[American Thinker] Bernie Sanders has always had a soft spot for Fidel Castro and the communist dictatorship the latter created. But instead of keeping it to himself and off the air, he went all out to praise Cuba's brutal regime for its phony "literacy" and "free" health care on 60 Minutes. Now Florida's Democrats are panicking.

According to the Miami Herald:
During that interview, a clip of which aired on CBS Sunday night, Sanders counted healthcare and education among the reasons that the Cuban people didn't rise up and overthrow Castro after his 1959 revolution.

"You know, when Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program," Sanders told Cooper. "Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?"

"There are a lot of dissidents imprisoned in Cuba," Cooper said to Sanders.

That's a big ‐ real big ‐ exploding cigar.

The only reason people didn't overthrow Castro was their great love of all his "free" health care? No, he tortured, killed, and imprisoned them first. Crap like that is likely to cost the Democrats Florida.
