The lowest of the low.

I'd definitely say supporting Pinochet is lower.

Wormyguy, Pingvin and a few other fellows would disagree, however.

And I do too. Pinochet was...messy, but necessary.

Oh dear God. For a moment I even thought you were a decent poster.

Chile is by far, the most prosperous and most socially just country in South America. Contrary to popular history, Allende was a grade-A, anti-democratic asshole. Of course, Pinochet was too, but at the very least he left the country in decent shape. And you know, actually gave up dictatorship after it clearly obvious Chile wanted his butt out. Something rare among autocrats today (lol Gadaffi, lol Al-Assad). Quite easily the least of many evils. And anyone who argues the contrary is simply ignoring the reality Chile faced.

For all our partisan bickering in America, especially about foreign policy, I have no doubt that both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney would have backed Pinochet. Such is the deliciousness of bipartisanship.

Now, shut up, please. Chile may be the justest country in South America, but I'm pretty sure it was because of the "Concertación". I doubt Chile was a just country under Pinochet. I really doubt it. How can you support him? He was a genocide, a fascist. Maybe you are, too? Because, at least, Pingvin doesn't try to hide he's a nazi.

Fascist? Eh, maybe, kind of, not really. Genocide? Are you frigging serious? Do you even know what genocide is? There's a good case for genocide to be made in Guatemala - but Chile? Are you frigging serious?

LoL, you don't think Pinochet was a fascist. That probably means YOU are
And genocide? Not at the levels of Hitler or Stalin, but because he didn't had that power. But, yes, a genocide. How can you argue he isn't? What's next? Golden Down aren't nazis, or Franco was elected in consecutive free elections?
