Not to distract from your point, but in 6.A, you do a great disservice to Augusto Pinochet to put him in such company. Perhaps you meant Salvador Allende?

The statement was made by Hillary, so you could put any name you want on that list. Add Allende in if you want, or Donald Duck.

Sure, I know all the statements were made by Hillary. And I know your point was that her statements are indistinguishable from those of some of the most vile leftists of all time. That's why the inclusion of Pinochet landed with a clank. It's as if you had Reagan or Thatcher as one of the entries. I don't mean to pick on you. As I said, your point is solid. It's just that there are a lot of people, even here on FR, who have less than a solid grounding in the history of the Left. Leftist revisionists have worked long and hard to make Pinochet out to be Hitler and have largely succeeded. It was Allende who was the Communist intent on ruining Chile. Pinochet saved that country and has been savaged by the leftist press for his success.
