Romney uses communist Castro battlecry in front of Cubans

Yea, that's a smooth move. "Patria o muerte, venceremos" Fire your consultants Romney. You are more artificial and plastic than Kerry. Strike Dos (That means two,Slick)


But you have to admit this is so youtube worthy. Does anyone have a youtube link? Because I want to make a AVI out of Romulus with this one.
The only thing that would top this if Lieberman suddenly jumps out to run for President.


"Fatherland or Death we shall overcome" indeed....... Romney deserves to be raked over the coals for this one. All is fair remember Kerry right? Yea, you remember.

Didn't Hitler use fatherland? As i said, fire those consultants.


P.S. Say Hello to lame duck presidential nomination. Libertad LIBERTAD LIBERTAD,MAANG (in al pacino voice)!

Cubans in Miami are steaming mad at former Gov. Mitt Romney for shooting his mouth off in stumbling Spanish, mispronouncing names and erroneously associating a notorious Fidel Castro-spewed Communist catch phrase with freedom fighters. Politicians in South Florida have lashed out at the former Massachusetts governor and 2008 presidential hopeful for describing the socialist saying “Patria o muerte, venceremos” as “inspiring” and for claimingthe phrase was swiped from liberty-seeking Cubans by leftist admirers of Castro. The phrase, which means “Fatherland or death, we shall overcome,” was bellowed as a political speech sign-off by the dictator for decades. At another point in the speech to the Miami-Dade Republican Party, Romney bungled the names of prominent Cuban GOP politicians, referring to Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio as “Mario.” Romney also garnered criticism for his hard-line stance on immigration and ending the talk with the phrase “Libertad, Libertad, Libertad,” a revolutionary saying made famous in the gangster movie “Scarface,” which many Cubans feel plays on cultural stereotypes. But it was the former Bay State governor’s use of an infamous Fidel Castro line that sparked the most controversy. “Hugo Chavez has tried to steal an inspiring phrase - Patria o muerte, venceremos,” Romney said. “It does not belong to him. It belongs to a free Cuba.” But scholars and prominent Cubans contend the saying has always been a Communist rallying cry and that it represents the very essence of Fidel Castro’s oppressive regime.

That's got to be one of the biggest flub-ups ever.

And he looks more plastic than a Ken doll.
