CANF REACTS TO MICHAEL MOORE’S COMMENTS

The Cuban American National Foundation completely rejects Mr. Moore’s  bigoted comments against the Cuban-American community and this organization in particular.  While Mr. Moore has a right to express his views, it is unfortunate and disingenuous to choose a group, which in many respects is the embodiment of the American Dream, as his target. As most useful idiots, Mr. Moore will go down in history as an apologist for the most brutal dictatorship in the history of the Americas.

45 years of totalitarianism is not an excusable response to the acts of prior governments of Cuba, just as McCarthyism’s targeting of the left did not provide an excuse for the real threat that Soviet communism posed to American freedom and liberty.

We suggest that Mr. Moore visit Cuba, in particular the wives of the 75 dissidents, many of whom are in jail for practicing the same craft that has made Mr. Moore a rich socialist.  These dissidents are people like Mr. Raul Rivero, a poet and a philosopher whose only crime has been to disagree with the Cuban dictator.  Perhaps the next time that Mr. Moore points his jaded gaze at Mr. Castro’s victims, both the Cuban-American community and the 11 million who suffer under Castro’s totalitarianism, he might find the same sympathy in his heart that at times he has been able to muster in his documentaries.
