Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart Blasts Kerry for Being Cozy with 'Blame America Only' Crowd

WASHINGTON-Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) today chastised John Kerry for having blatant America-basher Michael Moore given preferential treatment.

"It is a disgrace that at 'Kerry's Convention' he would have Michael Moore sitting in the presidential box on Monday night - the same day that the terrorist dictator Fidel Castro used excerpts from one of Moore's books in his anti-American diatribe," said Diaz-Balart. "It should be no surprise that Castro quotes Michael Moore considering Moore has been constantly bashing the United States, including saying we should not have retaliated against the Taliban after 9/11 and even going to the extreme of calling the American people dumb.

"Despite Kerry's attempts at a political face-lift, radical 'Blame America Only' liberals like Moore are the visible face of his political base. It doesn't matter how much red, white or blue you wrap yourself in, for one to be pro-American, one needs to oppose anti-Americans. Looks like Kerry's extreme makeover needs some more botox shots."
