1. Not really. I can just see the US reaction if Castro tried something

like that in the USA.

3. I wouldn't mind of Castro tried.

He's welcome to play speeechs of MLK to me. I'd listen all day long. What probem does he have with MLK?

4. Except in his case.......

The Cuban office in Washington would be displaying say, Che Guevara speeches. You cool with that too? Do you think our government would be?

[Clutch Cargo]

5. I see your point.

Actually, I guess we wouldn't need him to play any speeches for us. In our free society, we have access to them anyway.

6. Yesyes, free US of A, but the point is: Would anybody LET CASTRO PLAY any

message whatsoever of his own choosing in the USA? The answer is clearly no.

7. You think we have Free Speech in America?

You think the US Propaganda they are able to deliver on a 24/7 basis on Cable(CNN, MSMBC/FOX)or Broadcast television and Radio isn't U.S. Propaganda and censors REAL news and TRUTH is not the stifling of FREE SPEECH of a FREE PRESS, and when do i get to hear the wonderful words of Che Guevara in OUR news media outlet?

[Clutch Cargo]

8. Yes I do. More so than any country I can think of.

Do you have an example of a country that has greater freedom of speech and press than the U.S.?

You are not prevented from reading or accessing and commenting on all the bullshit that Che Guevara has ever spoken. But, the media has no obligation to supply you with it!
