You are proving yourself to be a special kind of stupid. Articles, which you have just given some kind of Puddle endoresement, don't come with over 100 citations like the Wikepedia entry. I doubt that you are prepared to refute the sources for the entry, other than to give the unsubstantiated opinion that the sources are also all left wing polemics.

Paint a different view of Allende? If you are considering adult opinion regarding Allende that means that your friends are all at least about 70 years old.
You failed to mention what your conservative Chilean friends think. You don't actually expect me to believe that 'all' your Chilean friends are liberal, do you?
You used the word propoganda. I doubt that you have any understanding the abuse this word has taken over the last hundred years. It's original meaning was something along the lines of what we now call 'spin'. A neutral word really, more of a verb than a noun; however, it is now excusivley used in a deragatory manner eliciting the meaning of 'spin' that challenges one's pre-conceived notions.
