Just a measure of the dismal state of historical memory and the limits of the Dempublicans. Cheney brought up El Salvadoor in the debate last night. He likened the FMLN (leftist liberation movement who have now given up the armed struggle and are a social democratic political party) to the Islamist car bombers in Iraq. One group's model is the 7th century the others the 20th or better, one wants to ban music and kite flying the other drink cuba libre's and dance salsa all night long, one wants a theocratic dictatorship run by beards the other wants a democratic socialism internationally.
Edwards would never have gone near this question because he agrees with Cheney. They both oppose social democracy and any trick or rhetorical device to discredit the left they will both use.
Pathetic!
