Chavez and the Democrats

I applaud Charlie Rangel's statement yesterday about Chavez's speech. However, is it any coincidence at all that third world dictators and terrorists are using talking points that Democrats have repeated over and over? The Anchoress has a good post here. A snippet:

There are some on the left who are suggesting that Hugo Chavez’s remarks are simply an indicator that the world “disrespects” President Bush…well…I wonder who gave them the idea that they could? Was it John Kerry calling him a “f***ing liar,” and not having to answer for that rudeness to anyone while the press shrugged it off? Good heavens, Bush calls terrorism “evil” and he was mocked and criticized for using that word, but the press never had a problem with “f***ing liar, f***ing crooks and thieves” or with adolescent musings about the president’s name and female genitalia. It was alllllll soooooo funnnnneeeeeee, newsreaders could hardly deliver the spite without grinning, themselves.
