If you really haven't seen the countless pictures of different US politicians with Chavez - even traveling there to buy gasoline at quantity discount for their dem constituents - and you really haven't read his endorsements of some US politicians, then I suggest that you read a bit more in depth, both here and in many other places.

The stories are everywhere, as is the proof of long standing unabashed support for these Socialist characters, from Kerry meeting with Noriaga to J Jackson hugging Castro and shouting: “¡Viva la revolución!

The media has a love affair with communist dictators

Images of Rather with Castro

That was a pretty weak response. The comment was about these guys supporting Democrats. Which I assume to mean politicians. Dan Rather, while perhaps a democrat (if not an outright communist), is not a politician. So the pictures are pointless at best or, if you want guilt by association, you clearly are not a Rumsfeld fan given his photos with Saddamm.

The charge about Kim and the Iranians appears to be just added for good measure then since you have not even bothered to tackle that subject.

On the other hand, the European leaders DO actively support democrats and even have said so in a not-too-subtle manner.
