(some of them have appeared to the RW of DU on other issues). I think the main problem they have is common with the tea party is that they distrust government and at the same time assume that a perfect (meaning that they would agree 100% with in tone and substance) government is possible.

As for Kissinger and Pinochet, it may be a question of generation. I understand why they met, but the Chile coup and the death of Allende is the first political event I was aware of and it was a brutal one and one the US government should never have been involved with. I think he should be at the ban of American politics. I just wished that they had not done such a big deal about this meeting. Somewhere, it hurts.
