Well, to be fair, many American right-wing politicians have supported worse, including Saddam Hussein and Saudi royalties. If we discredit political pundits based on who they sided with, the only people remaining would be total misanthropes. Or those who never said anything so far. Maybe that's for the better...

Maybe just discredit them when they say they support freedom from oppression when they actually support comically transparent dictators?

I assume the Saudi reference is in relation to recent NYT articles. That's fair. But since you bring up Saddam, it is more correct to say that he enjoyed majority left wing support, not right.

There's plenty of offenders in American politics, regardless of party. Coloring your comment that way makes it seem less valid.
