Yes, there is such a thing! Daniel at Venezuela News & Views has links and a great essay of his own describing this actual phenomenon.

He explains that how the creepier you are, the more likely you are to think that toting a Kalashnikov is cool.

He’s got the yucky photo of the foremost practitioner of this Kalashnikov-toting practice (take a guess who!) and links to photos examining this phenomena in this item here.

He’s also got harsh words for Code Pink “Peace Mom” Cindy Sheehan who continues to extol the virtues of Venezuela’s dictator in a remarkably ignorant new essay linked on Daniel’s site here.
