(62,325 posts)Chavez haters are predictable, as propagandists always are being there is never a thought in their heads they haven't either been paid to put there, or are too willfully ignorant not to accept without question.
Chavez was among the best leaders when it comes to taking care of the people in recent times. And no amount of propaganda can change those facts.
What sickens me most is the obvious bigotry from the Western Powers and their paid for propagandists when it comes South America, Africa and the ME.
The people of Venezuela know best what is good for them and over and over again they chose Chavez as their president in elections that WE should envy. To continue, despite their abject failure to do so with all their money and army of rabid Right Wing denigraters, to disparage the man chosen by the people of Venezuela is to disparage those people themselves. As if those poor, 'lesser' people don't know what is good for them. It's disgusting, really.
The arrogance of the Western Global Corps and their small army of paid propagandists is astounding, considering the total failure of the West to protect their own people. I probably used the wrong word, not FAILURE, their criminal and deliberate assault on their own people, here in the US and in Europe. They certainly are not in any position to criticize people who apparently do know what is right for THEIR country and proved it at the ballot box, despite the enormous efforts to stop them, over and over again.
It says a lot too that with all the money they spend attacking Chavez, if there was any basis for their garbage, they would have succeeded to some extent. It must be frustrating to have failed to even make a dent in the popularity of the man they tried so hard to destroy.
Looks like they need some new tactics, the world is well aware now of paid for propaganda when they see it.
