Gag me with a spoon!!! Stone is just another in a long line of Hollywood Leftard Communist lovers. I bet he thinks Marx was an awesome guy.
Posted by: a different Bob at February 25, 2008 9:31 AMCastro's excesses are excused because he believed in his "cause".
The negative effect on Cuba, and the long suffering of the people doesn't matter, apparently, because he BELIEVED!
I don't know the psychiatric term for Stone's condition, so will fall back on an old Manitoba expression we used to have just for people afflicted with this type of logic, "shit for brains".
Crude, and unworthy of the intellectual debating level of the blogosphere, I know, but then what can you expect from a humble peasant.

More of that bulimic breakfast special.
Posted by: Lycan Stark at February 25, 2008 10:45 AMFor people like Stone everything is relative.Because their position gives them the power to talk to anyone they will be certain not to get into a cat fight on either the right but especially the left primarily because they enjoy the access to other famous people.
Posted by: adriansmits at February 25, 2008 10:50 AMSay what you like about Castro, but if anything, he was a true "believer".
The fact he believd in his power and with that power he could subjugate a nation and he did, very much so.
Murdering his enemies with brute force, until he could surround himself with like-minded sycophants to hold power in a regime of terror.
Castro is human embodiment of brutal communism and Castro and the face of that evil here on earth.
All Castro proves that humans can exist on this plane of conciousness for good and evil.
Oliver Stone like Taliban Jack Layton are luke warm to communism,- called socialism in polite terms.
There is nothing to learn or admire of Castro, or either for the mindset of Taliban Jack Layton or the Oliver Stone's of this world for that matter.

Posted by: Largs at February 25, 2008 11:26 AMIf I ever get the chance, I will put on the boots I bought in Alberta a long time ago and kick Stone to death.
Lefties always see themselves as part of the ruling elite in any communist regime. They wouldn't believe life at the lower end of that philosophy.
You think Taliban Jack sees himself as a boot lace maker in a communist country? No, he sees himself as an elitist with a meaningless desk job in an ornate office, whose job it is to tell us all to don't worry, be happy.
Such a shallow pool they wade in.

Posted by: Doug at February 25, 2008 11:49 AMi must say stone is getting right down with that ernesto hemmingway look..puffy boozy jowly mindless nattering whipthejewboy rap.....only thing left is the self loathing french kissing of the 12 gauge(what malcolm muggeridge called the only shot ernest made that ever hit it's mark)...btw forbes estimated fidel's Swiss stash at about 900,000,000 dollars only just recently.

Posted by: philanthropist at February 25, 2008 1:40 PMYou only get one shot to have a decent life. This F*&%$@# trashed the opportunities of millions of people. I piss on his future(hopefully soon, by way of great pain) grave, as I do that of Olivers Stone's.
Posted by: Eric-Vancouver at February 25, 2008 2:45 PMStone was planning a movie about americans terrorists killing innocent women and children in Vietnam (true story). (pinkville, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1051718/)
Too bad that movie was cancelled (postponed?) because of the strike in Hollywood.
Oliver Stone is a free thinker.
