6. This is a political movement that idolizes Pinochet, Franco, and Joe McCarthy
Look at the roots of the modern conservative movement. Look at the adulation given to Franco and McCarthy in National Review. Look at how a right wing hero like Jesse Helms supports Pinochet and Roberto D'Aubuisson

Do you think murdering their political opponents is something they would only do in Latin America?

Do you think the people who trained and financed death squads for decades have any moral reservations about bringing them home?
