Fyi, the Venezuelan people are pretty smart. To accuse them of supporting, a Hitler clone is a pretty reprehensible charge not to mention just plain ignorant. Chavez has been elected over and over again by the Ven. people in some of the most fair elections anywhere. I guess you're saying the Venezuelan people are all Nazis. The smears just keep escalating. We must be getting impatient regarding controlling all that oil. How dare a duly elected president of a sovereign nation get in our way. Doesn't he know that is OUR oil he is sitting on?

All that propaganda money has worked well. I was hoping it would only work on rightwingers, who always hate any South American or ME or African leader who supports the right of their people to free education, to free healthcare and to affordable housing and and who provides for the disabled and the elderly, and the poor.

To the Far Right, a National Health Care system is only for 'lieberal commies' and caring for society's most vulnerable is a crime. But I do not understand the flip flopping on the left on South American nations who finally got out from under the influence of Global Corporate powers and established their independence. Just a few years ago the left was fully supportive of all that democracy in South America.

Since when did the 'Left' join the 'Right' in their hatred for those countries who actually do take care of their people?
