Chile Takes American Banks to Court for Aiding Pinochet

Have you seen this new, weird children's television program Fox News has on called "The Glenn Beck Show?" I've seen it only once, and Beck was harping on about how Obama was a socialist, and how socialism or anything vaguely like it is horrible because Stalin killed a lot of people. So, the logic here is that if a murderous dictator liked a certain economic model it must be horrible. But what about Augustus Pinochet and his right wing economics right out of the University of Chicago? All I'm saying, is that there's probably better ways to argue against socialism than jumping to economically unrelated death tolls. So shut up Glenn Beck.
