[quote]Paul O'Grady has revealed that he was held by officials at a US airport because they thought he was a communist.
The TV presenter said he was taken aside for questioning at Miami airport by staff who made the assumption because of his 'funny' accent.
He was then held for two hours while an officer accused him of being an 'illegal alien' from Cuba.
He told listeners of his Radio 2 show: "How could I be accused of being an illegal Cuban alien? Do I look Cuban? Do I sound Cuban?"
He added: "I've been to hell, folks - it's called Miami airport."
The Channel 4 star was later released after the customs officials studied his passport and found no links with Cuba.[/quote]

That is really him.
Wow I still did not know airports did that.
He did that for Blankety Blank IIRC.
Haha, fear of being a communist?
Communism is a valid form of government, they should not just outlaw it, if everyone in the USA wanted to vote communism they should be allowed to, not deported.
Miami int. has nice tsa agents, as all floridians are nice.
:c
No, not fear of being a communist, fear of being an illegal immigrant from Cuba. Just because you're from Cuba doesn't mean you think Communism is good, if you did why immigrate?
The article title is just trying to be sensationalist. Although I agree it's weird he was chosen as an illegal Cuban immigrant, it is a valid reason to not let someone enter the country.
Did we just timewarp back to the 60's or something?
I didn't think america still feared communisim.
They don't fear communism they fear (not really, just don't want to let) illegal Cuban immigrants in our borders.

I'm waiting for Mr. Nixon to come to this thread.

Is it the 60's again? Why don't Americans burn women again, it's been a while since they did that.

Look at those beady little eyes!
and yet Freaks like Westboro are allowed to roam freely.
It shouldn't be that big of a deal, America voted for a communist and look now, we got a communist president.
I think communist fears are over with.

Heh I guess the cuban five would've become the cuban six
Hey guys lets go back in a time machine back to cold war era! Oh wait.
Haha, they couldn't recognize a Scouse accent being anyway or form related to Irish/English or even Welsh somehow.
They held him because they thought he was a Communist? Wow, it's the Red Scare all over again.
