My, How They Love Their Murdering thugs

I'm tempted to dismiss this ass hat's antics simply because he's always been an anti-American flake (not an easy combination to pull off).  But this is so reprehensible that it deserves attention.  And universal condemnation:

Rep. Kucinich praises Syrian dictator on Syrian television
By Jamie Weinstein, The Daily Caller

Despite Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich saying a Syrian media report “mischaracterized” a press conference he gave while on a “fact-finding” trip to Syria, video footage of an interview he gave on Syrian television while in Syria clearly shows Kucinich being deferential to and even laudatory of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

In an exclusive video obtained by The Daily Caller, Kucinich openly praises Assad, whose regime has reportedly killed over 1,300 demonstrators and injured many more since protests against the dictatorship began earlier this year.

“What I learned from my meeting with President Assad is that he does care about what’s happening, that he wants to respond, that he’s thinking about the different ways that would be the best way to address the needs of the people,” Kucinich said in the interview, video of which was provided to TheDC by The Middle East Media Research Institute. “And that’s what he’s talking about. He’s talking about the people. He’s very engaged in that kind of a discussion. And frankly, that’s a positive development.”

Kucinich does note that there is a democratic movement afoot in Syria, but says that the government is responding appropriately. [link]

Kucinich, as was mentioned in passing, is a Democrat.

It's worth remembering next time you see his Syrian best bud's name in the papers associated with another massacre of innocent men, women, and children there.

What a toad.
