"Thus did Jimmy Carter, in a May 2002 speech at the University of
Havana that was broadcast throughout Cuba, prostrate himself before a
regime that has jailed and tortured political prisoners at a higher rate
than Stalin and murdered (in absolute numbers) more political prisoners
in its first three years in power (out of a population of 6.4 million)
than Hitler murdered in its first six years (out of a population of 70
million.) Not to mention that President Carter’s host, Fidel Castro,
insulted his nation as “a vulture preying on humanity” and came within a
hair of nuking it.
Carter is not the only one to trumpet the supposed glories of Cuban health care. Let’s consider the following quotes:
“Health care (in Cuba) was once for the privileged few. Today it is
available to every Cuban and it is free….Health and education are the
revolution’s great success stories.” — Peter Jennings, World News
Tonight, April 3, 1989
“Castro has brought great health care to his country” — ABC’s Barbara Walters, Oct. 11, 2002
“Even today, Cuba has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world.” — Katie Couric reporting on NBC’s Today, February 13, 1992
“Frankly, to be a poor child in Cuba may in many instances be better
than being a poor child in Miami, and I’m not going to condemn their
lifestyle so gratuitously.”– Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift on The McLaughlin Group, April 8, 2000
Idiots. Liars. All of them. No excuse. None.
