No, he does not. The only thing he had in common with Socialists was the name of his original party Nazi was National Socialist, and some of their ideas where socialist as well. I happened to think that OBL is very bright, very committed to his goals and an able organizer.......I consider those to be admirable traits. That does not mean I admire him or support his goals. I agree with you about OBL and I don't admire him or support his goals. Cantwell went beyond making statements like that about Castro. But still I didn't say she admires him or supported his goals, only that she was a bit chummy with him and her actions in regard to him don't give me a good impression of her. Of course they do. No one likes the dark side of themselves. And no one likes people falsely stating that such horrible darkness is part of them or is connected to them. They have different opinions, different philosophies and different attitudes. Maybe.......but the GOP has many similar traits. Stalin and Gandhi both had many similar traits. They both where human, both male, both leaders, both had two eyes, both are now dead. Yes the GOP and the Nazi's have many similar traits, just as the Dems and the Nazi's have many similar traits, but none of the significant traits about the Nazis that distance them from most other political parties or movements and cause people to consider them evil is a trait of the Republican party in the US. I have never heard a Democrat espouse the kind of gov't Cuba has. I think they haven't actually advocated a government like that since at least the 60s, or at least few of them have. I wasn't claiming the the Dems said the US should be run like Cuba. I said that a few of them didn't want to be considered separated from and against Castro. I already provided you some links. The people who have been close to him include Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters and apparently James Clyburn. Sure they are on the fringe, but you wont find even fringe republican members of congress being supporting nazis. You still consider Stalin a left wing dictator....I don't. I can't help it if you choose to be wrong... :) In any case, I would hope no American is a proponent of totalitarian gov'ts......right or left. I would hope so to. Unfortunately its not true, but fortunately those who do support such governments strongly are a tiny minority. Others might support them conditionally and temporarily like we supported Stalin's regime against the Nazis. That wasn't a mistake in my mind because at the time the Nazis where a more immediate threat. Tim
