INSTAPUNDIT BLITHELY PASSES ALONG A BLATANT LEFT-WING LIE

The professor uncritically linked to and excerpted from an article from Corrierre della Serra (HT Harry's Place) in a way which gave credence to a HUGE LIE.

I think Glenn was fooled by the favorable PREMISE/CONCLUSION of the piece: That Bush is indeed a revolutionary leader.

SO.... WHAT'S THE LIE!? Here:

"... when Mr Bush spells out that he is fighting “for freedom and democracy in Arab countries,” he is turning on its head - positively, according to Mr Fassino - the traditional policy of Republican administrations that “supported fascist military dictatorships in South America in the name of political realism.”

In FACT... most of the South American dictators were propped up by DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTS: FDR and Somoza; Truman JFK, LBJ and Trujillo are BLATANT examples of Democrat/Tyrant alliances. The GOP actually did less to prop up South American dictators: Ike let Battista fall; Bush Senior ousted Noriega; and Reagan ousted a two-bit commie turd in Grenada.

Don't get me wrong: I think Bush is INDEED a revolutionary - but he's doing more than turning traditional GOP foreign policy on its head: he's overthrowing the last remnants of status-quoism, defeatism, and accommodationism - IN BOTH PARTIES - and he's doing it in the name of human rights. It's the Bush Doctrine. It's a beautiful thAng. And it's working! And we don't need no stinking Leftwing Italian correspondents to tell is it's somehow anti-GOP! When it ain't! Nuff said.

ADDENDUM: Arch-enemy of the Left, Wolfowitz is the primary architect of the policies that have DELIBERATELY weaned the USA away from pro-West dictators over the last 25 years. aND HE DID IT WITH GOP PREXIES REAGAN AND BUSH.
