I'd rather have a president who admits we were wrong to overthrow Allende...

...than one who won't ever admit it...

1. Hugs for Henry Kissinger her mentor!

She can't be dissing him.

2. Me Too

I'd rather have a president who admits we were wrong to overthrow Allende...than one who won't ever admit it.... and who pals around with and takes advice from the guy that helped to overthrow him.

3. Someone has been on Wikipedia

Good job, you learned some new history!

[Ken Burch]

4. I've known about the coup since the Seventies. Salvador Allende and Victor Jara are heroes of mine.

Your condescension is once again unjustified-as is your assumption that the destruction of Chilean democracy and the imposition of a brutal police state regime were trivial acts.

[KingFlorez]

6. Okey dokey

Most people (save for the far-right) know that Pinochet was a monster and that the coup should have never have happened. With that said, Clinton was not even Secretary of State when that happened so I fail to see how she is to blame.

[Ken Burch]

7. She praises the guy who organized the coup.

And in the forty-two years since it happened, she never once denounced it.

She should, in fact, do the decent thing and join with those who say that every U.S. intervention against the poor and the workers and the indigenous people in Latin America was indefensibly wrong, and that we will never intervene like that in the hemisphere again.

And she should stop being sanctimonious about "dictatorship" in Cuba when she knows perfectly well that Cuba only has a government like that BECAUSE of the history of U.S. imperial arrogance throughout the Americas.

[KingFlorez]

10. Maybe so, but she didn't order the coup

She was not Secretary of State at the time. And considering that Bernie Sanders considers Jim Inhofe a friend, I don't think being "friends" with someone necessarily means you approve of their ideology. I'm not even sure that Clinton is actually even close friends with Kissenger.

12. Hillary supported the Honduras coup, vacations with Kissenger, praises him and seeks his advice

5. But...but...Allende was a (GASP!) Socialist!! And, we had to stand up for democracy!!

Or, something like that.

8. Did Trump say something about Allende that I missed?

[Ken Burch]

9. I'm not a Trump supporter.

I'll support HRC if she is nominated and I've said that over and over.

Not sure why you're so insistent on forcing us into another lesser-evil election when we can with without reducing ourselves to that.

13. 9/11 has a different meaning in Chile

That is the date of the coup.

14. Allende-Leo Ferre

[Ken Burch]

15. That was astounding-the song/poem itself, and the lightning portrait of Leo Ferre

created by the artist within the duration of the composition.

Thank you for posting that.
