"While Code Pink activists condemn President Bush for his 'fear-based politics that justify violence,' they applaud brutal dictators like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro. Three of their top leaders, Cindy Sheehan, Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin, took a trip to Venezuela last year to meet and socialize with Dictator Chavez. ...

"Miss Evans' approval of Mr. Chavez was gushing: 'He was a doll. Generous, open, passionate, excited, stimulated by the requests and happy to be planning with us.' ... Miss Benjamin touted Chavez's policies and stated that 'George Bush — and John Kerry for that matter — could learn a thing or two from Hugo Chavez about winning the hearts and minds of the people.' She failed to mention ... that these policies include the slaughter of landowners and farmers, government seizure of private companies, a fraudulent election and the forced redistribution of wealth. Apparently, killing innocents in the name of communism is acceptable to some anti-war activists."
