E) All of the Above
Don't forget the old heros of the Left.
Adolf Hitler
Joseph Stalin
Vladamir Lenin
The ONLY reason they hate Hitler is that he attacked the USSR.

If this is a test, it is flawed for three reasons:
1. Liberals do not adore dictators.
2. Ahmandinejad is NOT a dictator. He is not even the supreme ruler of Iran. Does the title Ayatollah ring a bell?
3. Chavez was elected.
EDIT:
4. Castro was elected in 1976.

I wold have to say, none of the above.
Ahmadinejad and Chavez were democratically elected by their respective citizenry, so do not qualify as dictators. Ahmadinejad also does not hold any real power in Iran, he is more or less the loony Iranian press secretary.
Lastly, liberals and progressives by definition strive for change for the betterment of life.
Dictatorial and Imperialist forms of government desire to Stay the course and resist change.
See, exact opposites.

Ok this is a test. Let's think this through logically.
Which of the people on that list make me wear paper slippers at the airport, because I apparently cannot be trusted? Hmmm.... none of them. That's George W. Bush.
Which of the people on that list have invaded sovereign nations on the basis of lies and manufactured intelligence? Eeek, None of them, that's GWB again!
Which of those on your list think it's a great idea to be able to listen in on any American's phone calls and read their emails, even if they don't have a warrant? Well, to be honest they may all THINK it's a great idea, but the only one to actually ACCOMPLISH it was, again, GWB.
Which one on that list has done not one THING to secure our borders or inspect the cargo coming into our ports? Which one has allowed the confessed murderer of almost 3,000 American citizens to go unpunished? WHich of those on your list opposed forming an independant 9/11 Commission? Which one had to be SUED to provide paperwork and records to that commission? Which one on your list has YET to implement even ONE of its recommendations? Which one STILL has not tesified under oath as to his actions in the months leading up to September 11?
For me to "just pretend this is a test", I would have to see some relevance, some relationship between the answers you provide and the "question" you ask.
Had you asked, "Which Pedophile in Public Office Do Republicans Defend the Most Strenuously? and then listed just the ones arrested THIS month (11 at last count), then I could see a reason to answer the question, based on the justifications I've heard, pedophiles quoted as saying they indulge their evil vices as a "favor" to the children, and typical Republican minimalization of the effects of sexual abuse in preteen children. You want to talk Republican abuse? Ronald Reagan forced the FDA to reclassify Ketchup as a "vegetable" so his miserable little school lunch program could pass Federally mandated nutritional requirements.
But when you ask the equivalent of, "Which is bigger, Blue or Green?"- since the terms (in relationship to each other) are nonsensical, there can be no correct answer, so no reason to answer this pseudo-question.
You really should try reading books, instead of burning them.

Just because liberals don’t fall for all the propaganda and lies that would justify belligerent actions against other nations doesn’t mean that they support any dictators. It is not a simplistic choice of either you believe the Bush administration’s aggressive nonsense or you support dictators. Liberals firmly believe in freedom and civil liberties. Trying to imply that they don’t is just absurd.
I won’t however believe that certain dictators are so much worse than other dictators who are our friends when it is obvious that there are underlying reasons for our hostility that have nothing to do with dictatorship. Our government supports brutal dictators when it is convenient but when they threaten some corporations’ economic interests they are suddenly the most evil monsters on the face of the earth. How gullible do you have to be to fall for that. Your choices, therefore, are illogical and ridiculous.

I don't believe most Liberals are in favor of Dictators, though obviously some are.
I do think most liberals are dumb enough to vote for them because they can't see through their specious arguments.
What they DON'T understand is, once you put a Dictator in power, it will be VERY costly - in lives- to get him back out of power.
The people of Venezuela will eventually realize that fact.

I'm certainly not a liberal but as I understand it, liberals are anti-dictator.
In fact, it is usually just the opposite. It's usually conservative politicians and businessmen who tend to support dictators, like in Saudi Arabia and Angola, as long as those dictators provide our own heartless businessmen with all their oil and other natural resources.
It is usually only when a business deal turns sour, like the one we had with Saddam, that our conservatives deem those dictators as enemies of our country.

The "liberals love (terrorist, dictator, etc)" genre of questions is really getting tiresome.
Sure there are some nutters out there who love Iran, which by definition apparently makes them liberals, but the lumping them in with Democrats/liberals at large is poor thinking.
