Hitler, the ultimate conservative

Hitler in many ways has as much in common with socialists as he does with the right.

why the hell would Cantwell admire a dictator?

If Cantwell didn't actually express admiration for Castro she did lead a delegation to Castro and many members of that delegation where positive about Castro. Some of the other members of the list that I mentioned have said positive things about Castro or the regime in Cuba. I don't think that's enough to really consider Cantwell as Castro's biggest fan but she did get a bit chummy with him. If it makes you happy I've concluded there isn't enough evidence to say she is a supporter of, or friend of Castro, but she does give the wrong impression with her actions.

They scream bloody murder in an effort to separate themselves from the antics of Hitler. And then you turn around and do the same with the left.

That's the point. Republicans are and want to be separated from Hitler. They have different opinions, different philosophies and different attitudes. Not all Democrats are or want to be considered separated or against Castro. A few of them praise him.

Its true that Castro hasn't done the kind of damage that Hitler did, but they are both brutal dictators. Also in the past the left in America did praise Lenin and even Stalin. Stalin probably caused more death and damage then Hitler (definitely more damage in peacetime but Hitler gets more of the blame for WWII then anyone else).
