Race-baiter Democrat Rep. Diane Watson praises Cuban health system, Castro & Guevara who “kicked out the wealthy”

By Michelle Malkin • August 28, 2009 04:03 PM

Longtime readers of this blog will be quite familiar with race-baiting Democrat Rep. Diane Watson of California.

She attacked Ward Connerly for marrying a white woman.

She bragged about Washington, D.C. being a “chocolate city.”

She polluted the Hurricane Katrina aftermath with race card-playing nonsense.

Thanks to KABC, there’s audio of Watson heaping praise on Castro, Guevara, and the Cuban health system at her town hall meeting last night — as well as injecting her usual racial poison into the health care debate. (For a reminder of what Cuban health care is really like, click here.)

I wrote up a transcript of her remarks. Bring an airsickness bag before reading:

WATSON: You might have heard their philosophical leader. I think his name is Rush Limbaugh. And he said early on, “I hope that he fails.”

Do you know what that means? If the president, your commander-in-chief, fails, America fails.

Now, when a senator says that this will be his Waterloo, and we all know what happened at Waterloo, then we have him and he fails. Do we want a failed state called the United States?

And remember: They are spreading fear and they are trying to see that the first president that looks likes me fails.

Now just understand what’s at the bottom line.

And you know we just got, 48 hours ago, we just go back, we were in Beijing, China, Hong Kong, China, we were in Taiwan, we were in Guam, we were all over the Far East.

I just want you to know: People look at the United States as a country that has changed its way and has elected someone from Kenya and Kansas, I’ll put it like that.

And they’re saying, “We thought you would never do that.”

So we don’t want to have this young man, and he just turned 48 — we want him to succeed, because when he succeeds, we regain our status. We regain our status.

It was just mentioned to me by our esteemed speaker, “Did anyone say anything about the Cuban health system?”

And lemme tell ya, before you say “Oh, it’s a commu–”, you need to go down there and see what Fidel Castro put in place. And I want you to know, now, you can think whatever you want to about Fidel Castro, but he was one of the brightest leaders I have ever met. [APPLAUSE]

And you know, the Cuban revolution that kicked out the wealthy, Che Guevara did that, and then, after they took over, they went out among the population to find someone who could lead this new nation, and they found…well, just leave it there (laughs), an attorney by the name of Fidel Castro…

“Her exemption comes from several points.”

Yes. So? I didn’t say she wants me to know. I said I want to know. It’ll show her hypocrisy quite clearly. Of course she doesn’t care nor think its relevant. I’m sure her voter base doesn’t care either. They’ll just think its a good thing as she stuck it to whitey to get her money.

Chocolate and dog sh*t have similar color – and she does have sh*t for brains – so is it possible that she really meant that most of the corrupt, racist, felon AMERICAN NEGROS (as in college fund) are in fact dog sh*t? Got a president that smells like – BO.
ANyway, “folks”like her give justification to white people to despise NEGROS. Thank GOD that they are not all like her so that it is possible to treat many black AMerican people decently and hope. I only had 3 black patients ever pay their bills – didn’t matter that I saved their lives and kept them being paralyzed – I was white so they screwed me. Been assaulted and robbed by blacks too. I personally give up on them for the most part – I don’t care much if you blacks live or die, just stay away from me and if you break into my home I will shoot you dead.On the other hand, if you’re a decent human being and not dog sh*t, then you’re welcome in my home. Im quite pleased Ted Kennedy is DEAD -

I guess this “genius” couldn’t fathom that she was given the “special” tour for visiting politicians.

Is she the best affirmative action and racially motivated elections can do?

Michelle,

For completeness’ sake, you need to add the link to Rush Limbaugh’s actual statement on the subject. This woman is lying about what he said. I’m no great fan of Rush, but I did read the transcript of his remarks some time ago. Perhaps one of his regulars has the link.

I’m sick of these black leaders, as well as hispanic leaders, yelling “racist” every time someone critisizes them. I’m also sick of BET, NAACP, black history month, and having to put up with their “name-calling” when I can’t return it, for fear of being accused of a “hate crime”. A black or hispanic killing a white is no big deal; the reverse has everyone screaming for his head…or a beer meeting. Ms. Watson, you’re trash. Personally, I would like to use a proper description, but, being white, I am not allowed.

Yeah. Go down to Cuba and see what the hospitals there are like.

I’ll stick with what I have here … even if I have to deal with debt collectors to pay for it, thank you very much.

Black people are precious in God’s sight. He created them. He loves them. They are truly of equal and inestimable worth, as are whites and all other humans. It is too easy to measure the worth of black people by their predominant and evil black sub-culture in this country (the USA). The blacks who overcome this crippling limitation are to be admired and imitated. I am white, and overcame an ignorant, emotionally incestuous, hillbilly culture. I did this through surrendering my life to Jesus Christ. He transformed me. My family has rejected me. They believe that I betrayed them by not continuing the “dance” – not involving my life and the lives of my wife and children in their pitiful and petty squabbles – the drama of living by crises to crises. I have transcended their legacy of shame, immorality, crime, drunkenness, blaming, and futility. My particular heritage is not worthy of being mentioned alongside the great patriots of our land, but thanks be to God that I am born again to royal blood: 1 Peter 2:9-10 NASB

…but you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for god’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of god; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Please pray for our brother and sister black Americans to overcome as I have. At the throne of God in the next life, all ethnicities will be represented. If you’re not loving them now, you will by then, or you won’t be there.

Yeah. Great stuff Fidel did there with those hospitals. And if the patients get hungry they can eat the cockroaches crawling around on the floor in the ER.

If Cuba’s such a wonderful place, why doesn’t this dummkopf just move there?

Enough already.

This woman does not understand what it means for America to succeed. America’s success is not defined by the degree to which an executive succeeds in implementing his plans; its success is defined by the degree to which her people are free and successful on their own without the aforementioned executive. It would be really nice to see a lib or two acknowledge this. I won’t be holding my breath.

She, as well as some other politicians today, are only interested in their own success, then success of the party. They could care less about America succeeding unless it happens, that day, to help their own path.

I her eyes, we (America) are the enemy against her ideals. And she’s not alone in her beliefs. There is an army of educators from coast to coast, from K to graduate school, who firmly believe in these communist/socialist/marxist ideas, and brainwash the masses. Accurate textbooks have all but been eliminated from the classroom, and this is what is left.

Upper annusitia

This idiot can’t even get her history right. Castro led the revolution, not Che.

Che was however the guy who executed all the dissenters.

Did anyone else get this, too?
