Several tactics are used in trying to persuade the local community to become hard-liners against Cuba.<br /><br />One of those tactics it certainly to exaggerate the threat of the Cuban government. Some call it "threat elevation" in the field of political science. It is mainly an act of manipulation through the media which in the Cuban community probably goes as far back as the Pedro Luis Boitel case, and now into the Orlando Zapata and Laura Pollan case.<br /><br />But it is not entirely irrational, but certainly exploitative of past traumas of the Cuba exile story.Mambi_Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549064503082026848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362928104369550741.post-4497577809616732272011-11-19T20:07:46.495-05:002011-11-19T20:07:46.495-05:00I like this blog.

The author –maybe Pancho, or Tato-, looks deeply informed on the hard-liner Cuban exile.<br /><br />Tato wrote: “After decades insisting (and investing into the narrative) that the Cuban government is a ruthless and evil force on the planet… what explanation is acceptable in the exile community?” But reading right here how the hard-liner Cuban exile behaves, it’s easy to understand that hard-liner are not advocated to any rationally acceptable explanation of nothing. They’re not trying to persuade the Cuban exile. They are just trying to intimidate Cuban immigrants. And, by the way, they are trying to make the credits to get the US federal government money. Money assigned to the democracy and liberty name.<br /><br />So why do hard-liners persist on this claim? [the murder of Laura Pollán] It looks not too hard question for answer. Hard-liners are making their predictable job of terrorize the Cuban community in the democracy’s name. There are neither principles nor ethic on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
