Fidel's a good guy
everyone hates him because he stole Mr. Burns 1 trillion dollar bill - nepawoods, on 10/10/2007, -27/+296"I think we're one of the 1st to break this. Maybe it's fake but..."
I think Fox News has a copyright on that as their motto. - wang1011, on 10/10/2007, -9/+115Homer: Give it back....
Fidel: Give what back? - euphemizeme, on 10/10/2007, -2/+81If you run a crappy blog nobody has ever heard of before you may as well go balls to the wall, declare it as verifiable fact. You've got nothing to lose.
- psiDevil98, on 10/10/2007, -7/+74As much as I tend to dislike Castro, I highly doubt his death would mean any kind of significant change in Cuba, apart from a different leader with the same policies.
But then, I could be very wrong. - tjdoom, on 10/10/2007, -3/+66Seeing how I saw this on 4chan beforehand, I will instantly doubt it.
- jord, on 10/10/2007, -2/+40you mean Mr. Burns...
- miguel077, on 10/10/2007, -1/+36Again?
- psykiv, on 10/10/2007, -11/+46Why bother... Everyone on Digg likes Fidel. Go ahead, digg me down, but I have family that have suffered because of his policies.
- sleepwalkers, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35Chargin' his lazer.
- Rodman930, on 10/10/2007, -1/+33What were you doing on 4chan?
- Puppetfunk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+33I once went to 4chan. I couldn't sleep or eat for days. All I could do was curl into a ball and weep. And now I'm perfectly fine. Once you see 4chan your mind is opened and your childhood dies in a fiery crash into a school full of disabled children run by blind nuns.

"Watching Polos Opuestos on Channel 22 here in Miami, and the word is that the rumors of fidel's death are just that. Host Maria Elvira Salazar interviewed Miami Mayor Manny Diaz, and the mayor emphasized that there have been no movement of law enforcement to handle the rumored situation. Most importantly, Diaz said that the city is maintaining contact with the federal government and that the feds would notify the city once they receive the official word."
In other words, he's probably not dead. - fadeout, on 10/10/2007, -8/+39The old regime that treated his people like slaves? Ghee, I don't see why anyone would attack them...
- vault, on 10/10/2007, -7/+38At what point in US history did we love Fidel Castro?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+31We didn't support Castro's revolution - far from it.
Sorry to break that inconvenient truth, as I know it ***** up your tired-assed anti-US argument. - mahdroo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Sounds like Hoax. Looks like Hoax. Smells like hoax. Mmmm hoax.
- wang1011, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23my bad :(
- mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24I just heard yesterday on BBC that he had recovered completely.. what the *****? I'm doubtful.
- bariswheel, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25could HAVE sworn, could HAVE.
- smith2688, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22"We loved him until we didn't." Great logic.
- avisotin, on 10/10/2007, -6/+24Haha. International trade sanctions? You do know that those sanctions were forced by the US, yes? That no other country actually willingly placed sanctions on Cuba? Glad we cleared that up.
Also, Cuba has over a 98% literacy rate. So, effectively, the average Cuban is smarter than the average American.
BUUUUUURN! - Fieri, on 10/10/2007, -5/+23Leave digg.
- Kericr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17This article should have been put down hours ago. Buried as inaccurate. Better luck next time.
- Dan137exe, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18Hasn't Castro "died" like 50 times already?
- 3tcp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16fail x 5
- mikev, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14dude, you just combo broke yourself
epic fail - bs0d, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Hell, Castro died in 1981 and the CIA has been running Cuba since, didn't you get the memo?
http://www.uncoveror.com/castro.htm - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+18They already do. Its called USA under Bush
- EmileVictor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14What a credible source!
- blackjack75, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14He is several cats.
- consonance, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Twice.
- Displace, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16Pics or it didn't happen
- hhhmethu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13"This is a nice place you got here."
- "You talkin' 'bout Cuba???" - Fallout911, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13I live in Miami and the one thing that I dread is that every time some rumor about Castro's death comes out this restaurant called Versailles gets ransacked by a bunch of old morons and gangstahs that play reggaeton the whole night.
***** that *****.
Oh and I'm Cuban. - carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13i'm pretty sure it was more to do with digging a simpsons reference than digging castro as a good guy
- joe7845, on 10/10/2007, -7/+18Wageslaven is right. For all the problems Cuba has, it still has one of the best standards of living in Latin America (health, education, etc.)
- meobrien, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12He's NOT dead: http://www.startribune.com/722/story/1381672.html
Buried as inaccurate. - bebop717, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15Could of sworn I dugg this story before…oh right like the last 50 times people thought he was dead.
8 hours later and no confirmations? He is most likely alive or they will be staging a "weekend at bernies" styles news conference in the morning. And I really want to watch that. - CrackIsWack, on 10/10/2007, -9/+19Do you even have a reason to hate him or were you just raised to?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12zombie castro?
*grabs pump action shotgun just incase* - IbnDigg, on 10/10/2007, -17/+27Are you talking about America?
- blackjack75, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15There are two kind of people who suffered from Fidel's actions.
- Those who had quite a bunch of money and power but never felt it could be of use for the other cubans.
- Those who opposed him politically, such as authors and reporters.
I only respect the latter. The first were the cause for the revolution. - Mothrog, on 10/10/2007, -7/+16"Cuba has one of the highest standards of living in the region."
Is that why people keep risking their lives to paddle away in make shift boats? - novakane, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Actually his younger brother has been a supporter of negotiations with the US for limited trade. He won't engage in those talks while Fidel is alive our of respect. So it could very well change.
- jmoh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Yo man you ***** jacked my icon.
- BassMastr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9You can't say you "broke" a news story and then immediately follow it up with it might be fake. That's just pussy. Either it's true or it's not other wise you are just spreading more rumors.
You should be in politics. - elnerdo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Socialism DOES work, see Sweden. Communism, on the other hand, does not.
- Stevethegreat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Castro dies about every day the last year or so. I won't be convinced unless Raul (his brother) announce so or see the dead body.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Don't forget his niece went out with Jay Sherman's son.
