Are you frustrated because you can't repeat right-wing points about Obama here?

26. You never see criticism of Chavez from the Left, we never did. The Right otoh, always

hated him. He was one of the few world leaders to say out loud what many were thinking about Bush. But the Right hates him mainly because his policies are Democratic and they are working. He cares about the poor, that is a total and major sin to Right Wingers.

He believes in Healthcare and Education for all citizens with help from the Government where needed. This at a time when the Austerity Gang are working hard to END all Social Programs in Europe and in the US. Taking advantage of the Economic Crisis, as described in Shock Doctrine. Chavez has the guts to tell them to go to hell the FDR would have.

But I have never seen a true Democrat disagree with Chavez's policies. I do remember a time when most Democratic forums were fully in support of him and very excited about what he was doing, not just for Venezuela but as an inspiration for the rest of Latin America, the only area of the Globe which has moved to the Left over the past decade while Europe and the US moved further and further to the right.

But around 2004 you began to see right wing talking points about Chavez infiltrate Democratic Forums. They are so easy to recognize if you were online from the 2000 election.

Obviously all their efforts have failed, and they cannot accept the fact that they failed because the people of Venezuela have rejected Right Wing policies. Hopefully Europeans, now they have experienced them, will follow their example and the US will wake up and reject them also.
