Can one of you tell me how Aristide was a "thug"?

Advertisements [?]

I keep hearing this get repeated over and over again. "Aristide was a thug". "Aristide was a criminal and repressive to his people".

This is directly at odds with what I've read and know of the guy.

So, any of you who know about this, I'd appreciate being provided the evidence. (And, no Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Scott McClellan, GW Bush and the pundits on Fox News saying this repeatedly, does not make it so.)

Where's the eividence? I NEVER hear any evidence to back up any of these statments.

I see some where Aritstide spent money on schools and education for all in Haiti, and spent money on healthcare for all in Haiti. But, specifically, where and how did he "repress" or murder his people as a criminal thug as Fox News and the US Govt claims so repeatedly?
