Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Dem-Ohio) praised killer President Bashar Assad in a speech in Syria this week.

The UN reported earlier this month that over 1,000 democracy protesters have been slaughtered by the Assad regime this year.

A handout picture released by the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) shows Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad (C-L) meeting with US Congressman Dennis Kucinich and his delegation in Damascus. The US lawmaker strongly opposed to US military involvement in Afghanistan and the Libyan conflict is on a “fact-finding” visit to Syria and Lebanon, his office said. (AFP)

But there’s more…
Kucinich praised the Bathist dictator on Syrian TV.

The Daily Caller has more.

    Kucinich is an appeaser and a numbskull. Most all of the Demoncrats are.

    Indictments issued in Hariri death probe

    [A United Nations-backed court has handed down indictments requesting the arrest of four members of the Shia movement Hezbollah in connection with the 2005 killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, according to media reports.

    Lebanon state prosecutor Saeed Mirza has received the indictments, which are meant to remain sealed for 30 days to allow him to examine them. But local and international media, some citing judicial sources, immediately reported that the arrest warrants named four men: Mustafa Badreddine, Salim al-Ayyash, Hassan Issa and Asad Sabra.]

    This is another example of a very ignorant and gullible person pretending he’s smart.

    Another example is the guy who did a press conference yesterday.

    Oh, dear God, he is confused. He thinks Syria is like Egypt! Egypt is where the government is listening to the people. Syria is where the government is shooting the people. I, personally, see that as a crucial difference.

    Valerie commented:

    He is right about one thing: when a story breaks that a country’s army or police are killing its own citizens, the leader of the country does show up in a negative light.

    What negative light. I’ll show you that I understand lib nuance.
    Dictator who hates America: GOOD
    Dictator who allies with America: BAD
    Now which one can kill people for the sake of the people and be supported by the Democraps?
    Any takers?

    Useful idiot.

    Isn’t he the goofball that claimed he was served an olive pit at the House restaurant and sued them for ‘dental work’?

    baseballguy commented:

    Yes. And he didn’t sue THEM, he sued US.

    Dennis just admires a true leader that has no qualms about shooting a few ungratefull protesters in order to stay in power.

    I wonder if he is on a fact finding mission for Obama?

    He talks and words come out, but he doesn’t say anything. Nothing! He even admits several times that he has “no information on this”, but is espousing his appeaser-like nonsense anyway. The bottomline is this: he does not want to cause any trouble that may result in the US having to flex its muscles. He doesn’t want lead or do what is right. He only wants to ride the wave of non-confrontation.

    Shoot over hundreds or thousands of your citizens dead, and a member of the Democrat Party will be there to shake your hand.

    November 6th, 2012 can’t come soon enough.

    That clip was way too long. Did he praise the king or not? I listened for a whole minute before I couldn’t take it anymore. Up until that point, he did not. Post a 15 second video of him praising Hassad, plz, or I won’t believe he did.

    er, Assad.

    who me? commented:

    Can ANY Democrat tell the difference between good and evil? I doubt it. And if Kucinich thinks that what is going on in the Middle East is about freedom, he’s in for a rude awakening.
