Fidel Castro suffered a stroke, Venezuelan doctor says
Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and his state of health is so precarious that he has trouble feeding, speaking and recognizing people, said a Venezuelan physician who assured El Nuevo Herald that he has access to firsthand sources and information.
“He suffered an embolic stroke and recognizes absolutely no one,” said José Marquina, a respected doctor who in the past has claimed to have direct information about the illness affecting President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela.
“The people with a condition of this nature have difficulty eating and, of course, they end up with total deficit in their neurologic capacities.”
Rumors about Castro’s health have circulated consistently in social networks and the media. But the speculations intensified recently, to the point that word spread that he had died and that the Cuban government would make an official announcement to that effect.
Castro was last seen in public in March, during the visit to Cuba of Pope Benedict XVI. Since June, he has not written his opinion columns, called “Reflections.” He did not send any message or congratulation to Chávez for his recent election victory.

It’s a good thing for him that he is in Cuba, world leader in quality medical care, according to noted medical care expert Michael Moore.

There is no amount of suffering that can atone for his sins.
I hope he’s awake, unable to resist, and inconsolate as Mephistopheles carries his sorry ass to Hell.

‘Bout time to meet your Maker, Fidel. ‘Bout time you found out there is a God and you’re not Him. Chavez next!

I’m sure he’s receiving stellar third world medical care (Michael Moore backs it).

Old age is too good for the likes of him. It should have been a firing squad sometime shortly after the Bay-of-Pigs. Oh wait, a Progressive limp-wrist screwed that up too. Good job Liberals, f-ing up national security since 1940.

If Cuban medical care is world class, why the Venezuelan doctor?

I bet that, after Fidel goes off to settle his accounts with The Almighty, those clueless bastards soak his carcass in formaldehyde and leave him out to stink up an open tomb just like teh Rooskies did with Lenin.

Really too bad he didn’t suffer a bullet exit hole in his cranium 53 years ago.

And, of course, OUR fearless leader will be up front at his funeral, a final “f_ck you” to the USA that refused him four more years to make us more like Cuba.

If Michael Moore lost about 450 lbs and grew a beard he would look just like his commie bastard hero.

Once Castro shits the bed, I predict a three way Cuban civil war.
-the “privileged class” of Cuban Communist Party apparatchiks and Cuban Army on one side, desperate to keep their ill-gotten power
-the Cuban people who never left, who are squatting in the mansions and haciendas of the wealthy Cubans who fled communismo in the 60′s
-the Cuban refugees living in the USA, mostly in the Miami area, who will go back to Cuba to reclaim their stolen homes, land & fortunes.
If the Obama Regime is still in power when they thaw out Castro and finally admit he’s shit the bed, trust Obama and his cronies to fuck it up royally and the power transition will be a bloodbath.
There’s no way that Castro’s brother, that maricon Raul, will be able to hold onto power. All three sides will brush him aside in a UN Minute.
