Elian Gonzales' family & supporters plan to protest Obama's visit to Miami today:

[LeftinOH]

Elian's great-uncle Delfin Gonzales explains:

"We're going to express opposition to Barack Obama's visit to Miami, and explain how we're opposed to him having individuals on his campaign who were associated with Elián's seizure in 2000...some wounds are so deep that they do not heal over time, such as taking a child and sealing his fate to a communist dictatorship."

At issue are Obama's foreign-policy advisor Greg Craig, who represented Elián's father in the custody battle with the Miami relatives, and legal advisor Eric Holder, a member of Obama's vice-presidential search committee who was deputy attorney general when the 6-year-old boy was seized by federal agents and returned to Cuba.

..These rabid right-wing anti-Castro fanatics among the Cuban emigre community -who have had far too much negative influence on our politics-are officially my least favorite immigrant group. STFU, assholes.. you are never going to get your abuelos's house in Havana back.
