Andrea Mitchell Decries 'Anti-Castro Vitriol' of the GOP 'Pander Bears' in FL

A disgusted Andrea Mitchell on Thursday decried the "anti-Castro vitriol" coming
from Republican presidential candidates in Florida, sneering that they are
"pander bears" to the Cuban community. [See video below. MP3 audio here.]

Teasing a discussion with Chuck Todd, Mitchell dismissed the GOP contenders:
"And as Romney and Gingrich try to outdo each other with their anti-Castro
vitriol, appealing to Florida voters, they think, Fidel weighed in today with
his view of them." Todd lectured that Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney "ought to be
careful, because it doesn't sound believable."



Continuing to show her disdain, Mitchell made a historical comparison: "Well,
remember, it was in Florida in '92 that the late Paul Tsongas accused Bill
Clinton to be a pander bear, by pandering to the Medicare, Social Security
contingent who didn't want any entitlement reform."

She then snapped, "I think we've now reached a new level of pander bears in
Florida."

Mitchell has a history of spinning for the communist dictatorship and decrying
its critics. On May 1, 2007, she reported from Cuba and insisted, "There have
been no major problems, other than the continuing economic difficulties that of
course this country faces because of the U.S. embargo, the economic embargo."
