Mary Anastasia O'Grady's weekly WSJ column about Latin America is not known for subtlety...or appreciation of anything other than savage Ayn Randian capitalism.
So...it really wasn't a surprise when O'Grady labelled Santiago university leader and avowed communist Camila Vallejo...'a red-diaper baby'...because she was brought up by Salvador Allende followers...and because Vallejo is a fan of Fidel Castro.
Camila responded on TWITTER: "How it hurts them that Chile is becoming conscious! This is a sign of us advancing."
But famous dissident blogger Yoani Sanchez also criticized Vallejo after a 7 April visit with Fidel in La Habana...to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Cuba's young communists... when Camila called Fidel 'a great visionary'.
Sanchez tweeted: "If I could talk to her, I would try to tell Camila of that other Cuba which is hidden or silenced by official propaganda'.
Vallejo did not visit with Sanchez or any dissidents during her visit.
