I've noticed that people on the Left like to throw around epithets to describe those on the right like "fascist" and "Nazi". If those Leftists have ties to the Third World, they also like to throw in "colonialist aggressors" or "capitalist imperialists" or simply "oppressors".

However, the Left seems to cozy up to dictators these days far more than the Right. Al Jazeera just today reported on how Dennis Kucinich wrote to the Gaddafi regime as late as this August to try to discredit the NTC as part of his effort to, and I quote, "bring a lawsuit against NATO/UN/USA". Cynthia McKinney just got back from a whirlwind trip of cozying up to Ahmadinejad, Gaddafi and other dictators who are up to their elbows (or higher) in the blood of innocents (and I hope the FBI investigates the source of her funds for those trips). Still others support Chavez and Castro and somehow think that totalitarian and authoritarian regimes can be forgiven if they talk about helping out poor people in between jailing people for dissent and killing off enemies in one fashion or another.

The hypocrisy is overwhelming. Anti-war activists actually supported Gaddafi, because somehow in their minds a brutal peace, enforced with state-sanctioned murder, is better than a short civil war of liberation. Others somehow see the free market as the ultimate evil - despite the fact that Castro has killed thousands of people directly and holds Cuba in total poverty, Michael Moore loves Castro because he has free medicine and opposes that evil system that asks that supply and demand dictate prices.
