"The reality of Latin American reaction to Bush

George Bush is here in Latin America this week, visiting Brazil and Argentina, and the standard reports of the American media are trying to depict a handful of isolated, juvenile socialist-organized "demonstrations" as some sort of sweeping, popular mass protest against Bush’s visit, thereby suggesting, yet again, that the Administration’s policies are flawed because people in other countries dislike Bush. As usual, the truth is vastly different than what the U.S. media is reporting (see UPDATE below) .

It is true that in this region (as is true for the U.S.), there remains a small, fervent band of left-wing fanatics with crazed enthusiasm for the worn-out, socialist/collectivist policies which have condemned millions upon millions of people throughout Latin America to poverty unimaginable to even the poorest Americans. These putative "mass demonstrations" in Argentina and Brazil are, in reality, nothing more than a few isolated spray-painting incidents of trite pacifist slogans in Brasilia, and a Cindy Sheehan-like "rally" of hard-core Socialists in Argentina led by an obese, Castro-idolozing, retired soccer player who found time away from his decade-old cocaine addiction to show up wearing an oh-so-clever t-shirt showing Bush's name spelled with a swastika.

Hardly the stuff of mass demonstrations and popular anti-Bush uprisings, New York Times reports and breathless television correspondents notwithstanding.

In some countries, most notably Venezuela, this vintage left-wing, anti-American fervor is not small, but is predominant, which is what has led that country to be under the repressive thumb of Fidel Castro-copy Hugo Chavez, whose primary interest in attending this Latin American regional summit seems to be to lure Bush and the U.S. into some sort of game of childish taunts rather than doing something constructive to aid his impoverished, unstable country."

Greenwald is also lying about Ron Paul's fake "anti-war" record and his fake "socially liberal street cred because Ton Paul also happens to be a whacked out Christian fundamentalist who doesn't accept the Constitutional principle of church/state separation. First of all, Ron Paul, like almost everyone else, voted for the Authorization to Military Force in the War on Terror. Second: Ron Paul isn't "anti-war, he's anti-Jew as his white supremacist conspiracy theories indicate (and his racist newsletters indicate):

Ron Paul's actual legislative record tells a horrifically grim tale: http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/2007/11/ron-pauls-record-in-congress.html

Note to our Netroots "progressive" mouthpieces. You would have known all of this had you listened to those of us who told you repeatedly that Libertarian Glenn Greenwald is a lying sack and that Ron Paul is a white supremacist. The enitire point of the fact-challenged NSA "reporting" was the total privatization of the NSA. You should know by now not to listen to Libertarians:

"Another David Koch project, Citizens for a Sound Economy—which launched the effort to repeal Glass-Steagall protections keeping banks from gambling in securities—helped fuel the fight for “free trade,” an unpopular policy in the 1980s."

I could go on... but how long do you want this to be? I could write a book at this point. Don't think I don't know that DU is infested with Libertarians So I don't expect you lying sacks to change your tactics, but I do want to ensure that progressives stop falling for far right BS.
