Rush Limbaugh is “Divisive”, but “VIVA FIDEL!” says Jesse Jackson

"As mentioned, this was summer of 1984, so at the time, the world’s longest-suffering black political prisoner suffered his incarceration and tortures in stoic defiance. '#####!' taunted his jailers between tortures. 'We pulled you down from the trees and cut off your tail!'

"I do not refer to Nelson Mandela. No, this prisoner was being tortured a few miles away from the Revs. Jackson, Wright and their entourage of black American luminaries. The prisoner was a black Cuban named Eusebio Penalver and he was being tortured by Reverend Jackson’s gracious hosts. Mr Penalver’s incarceration and tortures stretched to 29 years which makes him the longest-suffering black political prisoner in modern history, surpassing Nelson Mandela’s record in time behind bars and probably doubling the horrors suffered by Mandela during this period.

"Eusebio Penalver was bloodied in his fight with Castroism but unbowed for almost 30 years in its dungeons. He’s what Castroites call a 'plantado'—a defiant one, an unbreakable one. 'Stalin tortured,' wrote Arthur Koestler, 'not to force you to reveal a fact, but to force you to collude in a fiction.'

“'The worst part of Communism,' wrote Solzhenytzin, 'is being forced to live a lie.'

"Eusebio Penalver refused to collude in this lie. He spit in the face of his liar jailers. He scorned any 're-education' by his jailers. He knew it was they who desperately needed it. He refused to wear the uniform of a common criminal. He knew it was they who should don it. Charles Rangel, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Ron Dellums, etc. etc. etc. all toast his torturer. But through almost 30 years of those tortures Eusebio Penalver stood tall, proud and defiant.

"Shortly before his death in 2006, your humble servant here had the honor of interviewing Senor Penalver. 'For months I was naked in a 6 x 4 foot cell,' Eusebio recalled. 'That’s 4 feet high, so you couldn’t stand. But I felt a great freedom inside myself. I refused to commit spiritual suicide.'

"Sr Penalver served several months of this 30 year sentence naked in a 'punishment cell' barely big enough to stand in, where he languished naked and in complete darkness. 'Castro’s apologists, those who excuse or downplay his crimes—these people be they ignorant, stupid, mendacious whatever—they are accomplices in the bloody tyrant’s crimes, accomplices in the most brutal and murderous regime in the hemisphere.'

"But have you ever heard of Eusebio Penalver? He became a U.S. citizen and lived in Miami for almost 20 years and would have been a cinch for the media to track down. Ever see a CNN interview with him? Ever see him on '60 Minutes'? Ever read about him in The New York Times? The Washington post? The Boston Globe? Ever hear about him on NPR during Black History Month? Ever seen anything on him on the History Channel or A&E? Ever hear the NAACP or Congressional Black Caucus mention him?

"Why do I bother asking? He was a victim of the Left’s premier pin-up boys…nuff said.."
