    Well, what a terrible thing to do by Sean Penn when he defended a terrorist, drug supporter, dictator, communist and anti- Americans; Hugo Chavez. May be, you should be put in jail by supporting such a terrible man like Hugo Chavez. I don't care how much drugs Hugo Chavez gave it to you to sustain yourself, but American is not wasting anymore breath on that animal and to those who support him as well. You probably very high when you made that comment and you should blame him for giving it to you. Pretty soon you will turn out to be just like him and that will be the end of your good days.

    And FDR jovially referred to Stalin as Uncle Joe-such a cuddly guy.<br /><br />
    I'm sure there were people who thought Hitler was a heck of a nice guy.<br /><br />
    There are probably fans of Pol Pot.<br /><br />
    Mao is also loved by some, especially the ones he didn't end up killing.<br /><br />
    Revisionist history & the suppression of the truth does not change the fact that these people, & those like them, are evil murderous dictators.
