1. The Right-Wing President of France beats them both. nt

2. The one who pushed for the NATO action in Libya?

Doesn't that make him an imperialist waging a war of economic exploitation against the good Colonel and his anti-neo liberal agenda?

3. Actual quotes from 'progressive' DU'ers

"Gaddafi was the one keeping The Imperialists & NeoLiberals OUT of Africa.
The "NeoLiberals" & The World Banks, & The Global Oil Corps, & the IMF are the ones are drooping NeoLiberal Freedom Bombs on Gaddafi.
"They" are the ones who will turn Libya into a NoeLiberal Free market HELL, just like Iraq."

". When you're the old imperialist-criminal powers conducting an invasion of a former colony, you need propaganda that defines the native resistance as foreign and paints the foreigners as friends to the native people. "--note how this extreme leftists defines Qadaffi's dictatorship as a resistance movement.

"He's done more to help his country to become prosperous and educated then most countries in Africa and the Middle East, "

" Once again, if you are trying to overthrow a government, expect a crackdown."

"Since you seem to think the US wouldn't crack down in the same way, get a large group of people and tell Washington DC you no longer are the legimate government and want them to step down. Do this with the backing of China also. See what the response from the government is. Get back to me mmkay."

5. Which is why

I think we're being trolled to the max. "Progressives" for dictatorships that people ask for help to unseat. Sometimes a revolution is just a revolution.

8. No, there really are people on the left who will

sympathize with any enemy of the US. To them, Bin Laden was a 'political leader' who was the victim of the United States.

6. Isn't that setting the bar a bit low?

7. I don't mind the criticism of Obama. But when the same people

turn around and praise Qadaffi's economic policies and talk about how he was the only one keeping the evils of capitalism from overrunning Africa, it becomes offensive.

10. DUers defending dictators?

A comment from a DUer regarding Stalin's purge of the kulaks:

"And yes the kulaks were harshly repressed, but they were reactionary opportunists who threatening the existence of the revolution, too fucking bad for them."

:wow:

[geek tragedy]

12. We have undeconstructed Communists and Stalinists here

so of course that kind of rhetoric will be found.
