@elucidator

Thank you for bring our attention to the issue of consuming importance, Cuba and our policy towards Cuba. We appreciate the effort, and assure you that no further such efforts need be made at this time.

Well, in your case that’s because you just refuse to listen.

Thank you for your kind offer to instruct me in the value of open-mindedness. Unfortunately, I have no openings at the present time, but will keep your application on file. If such an opening should arise, I will review your application and qualifications, and chuckle heartily.

She went to Cuban, as a guest of the Cuban government. Once in Cuba she traveled across the island, again as a guest of the Cuban government (it’s about 300 miles from Havana to Guantanamo). At no time did she enter the base.

Gotchya.

If she had been driven crazy by losing a son on 9/11 by the terrorist attacks then the pro-war crowd would consider her a hero.

So there is a link between 9/11 and Iraq? Interesting.

[elucidator]

And both “9/11” and “Iraq” require four keystrokes. Coincidence? I wonder…

Hah. None.

She is in fact a citizen of the US, your grasp of some facts is outstanding. However she chose to protest in this case by traveling to Cuba, as a guest of the Cuban government, do you not see a problem with this? Or does you grasp of the facts not extend to knowing the record on human rights of the Cuban government? Look it up, Amnesty International has a section on them.

By protesting she’s trying to change what HER government does, that seems to be a simple fact you cannot grasp.

If I try to save the whales am I an asshole if I don’t also try save the dolphins, turtles, squirrels, earthworms and plankton?

No, but I think he/she is saying that you would be an asshole if in promoting your cause you, say, ended up endorsing someone who was killing dolphins, in order to further your cause of preventing the killing of whales. Make sense?

Yes, I guess the best link is that they were used in the same phrase by several people. That’s the best link anyone sane could find.

The nutsos on the other hand…

The woman has a specific ax to grind and is apparently willing to go to the ends of the Earth to grind it.

To the posters here who feel she and CODEPINK are endorsing Fidel’s regime I really have nothing else to say.

I personally don’t think SHE is endorsing Fidel. However, going to Cuba wasn’t such a hot idea, and it could have potentially hurt her cause. That’s all.

It’s your quote, and I get what you are saying, but please pardon the irony. Explain away.
