The virtual swords have come out and Fred Thompson and Micheal Moore are engaged in a full battle over CUBA. Moore is currently being investigated by the Treasury Department for his trip to Cuba, which violates U.S. trade embargo restrictions.Recently the presidential hopeful, former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson, attacked Micheal Moore for "gushing" over dictator Fidel Castro. In response the liberal film maker challenged Thompson to a debate.
According to the NY Daily News:
Filmmaker Michael Moore is calling out White House hopeful Fred Thompson for refusing to debate him. The director and the former senator have been trading shots since May 2, when Thompson weighed in on the Treasury Department's investigation into whether Moore violated the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba by seeking free treatment on the Communist isle for sick 9/11 responders....Thompson responded to Moore's attack with a video message, where he is seen holding a cigar. Click here to watch Fred Thompson's video response to Moore. (posted on breitbart.tv) In the video Thompson says:
Moore, who filmed the trip for "Sicko," his forthcoming cinematic indictment of America's health care, yesterday returned fire in an open letter that pointed to Thompson's fondness for Cuban-made Montecristo cigars.
"While I will leave it up to the conservatives to debate your hypocrisy and the Treasury Department to determine whether the 'box upon box of cigars' violates the trade embargo, I hereby challenge you to a health care debate," Moore wrote in a letter posted on the Drudge Report.....
"I've been looking at my schedule, Michael, and I don't think I have time for you," the GOP candidate said. "But I may be the least of your problems. You know, the next time you're down in Cuba visiting your buddy Castro, you might ask them about another documentary filmmaker. His name was Nicolas Guillen [Landrian]. He did something Castro didn't like, and they put him in a mental institution for several years, giving him devastating electroshock treatments. A mental institution, Michael, might be something you ought to think about."In a written response to Moore, Thompson also pointed out that the Communist dictator, Fidel Castro, is worth $900 million. And stated "So when he desperately needed medical treatment recently, he could afford to fly a Spanish surgeon, with equipment, on a chartered jet to Cuba. What does that say about free Cuban health care?"

On a personal note I can't help but LOVE this debate. It brings to light the 48 years of tragedy occurring in Cuba and liberal idiots who "adore" the Cuban dictator. It brings great joy that Thompson spoke about Cuban political prisoners. I hope more people read about these victims of the communist revolution.
