Yeah, he has unlimited coffers. joshcryer Mar 2013 #2

Maduro has unlimited public support. Here, fixed it for you. idwiyo Mar 2013 #5

The head of his campaign mobalization is the head of... PDVSA. joshcryer Mar 2013 #7

Thank you for providing even more RW propaganda. This time from Carlos Ardila Lulle owned media. idwiyo Mar 2013 #8

Haha! It's from AVN! Here's the original article on SiBCI: joshcryer Mar 2013 #9

Am not sure what is it are you laughing about? You provided a link to yet another RW website. idwiyo Mar 2013 #11

I posted a Ven Gov article. joshcryer Mar 2013 #17

You provided a link to RW media website that republished an article from Ven Gov media website. idwiyo Mar 2013 #19

Wrong. I baited ignorant posters into bashing Ven. sources. joshcryer Mar 2013 #21

Bullshit. You tried to present yet another RW source as a legit source of info. idwiyo Mar 2013 #24

Wrong. I saw AVN in the date of the article. joshcryer Mar 2013 #28

You posted a link to RW propaganda website. It doesn't matter that they reprinted an article from idwiyo Mar 2013 #29

"Generally it's the only website." joshcryer Mar 2013 #34

You posted a link to RW media website. The only reason to do that is to present it as "fair & idwiyo Mar 2013 #37

I don't care about people trusting websites. joshcryer Mar 2013 #39

Your source IS the RW media website that reprinted the article from Gov of Venezuela website. idwiyo Mar 2013 #42

When some nasty person starts insulting me... joshcryer Mar 2013 #44

Dude.. naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #33

Dude, I don't care about the actual article. What I care about is someone posting links to RW media idwiyo Mar 2013 #40

??? naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #50

Did you actually bother to have a look who owns the website that reprinted that article? idwiyo Mar 2013 #52

Yes naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #54

That's like saying its OK to post links to FOX News, if not worse. Since when did it became OK idwiyo Mar 2013 #55

Fox News naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #56

FOX News. That's what wrong but it looks like you either don't get it or deliberately pretend idwiyo Mar 2013 #58

I guess naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #72

Well, go ahead and explain why it's OK to post links to FOx and similar RW media sites on DU. idwiyo Mar 2013 #99

BecauSe naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #100

This is really silly. A link, by definition, is simply a pointer to other data. You Flatulo Mar 2013 #84

Doubt the poster ever has attempted to claim this democratic message board Judi Lynn Mar 2013 #85

Total BS. Pointing people to RW websites is the same as saying its OK to trust them because they are idwiyo Mar 2013 #91

I think your your beliefs about Josh's motivations are clouding your thinking on this issue. Flatulo Mar 2013 #104

That's exactly what I did. joshcryer Mar 2013 #106

BS. Takes few minutes to post a link to originating website or at least find something that doesn't idwiyo Mar 2013 #111

Any time you're prepared to refute the data, I'm happy to follow along. Flatulo Mar 2013 #112

I am not going to bother with links to FOX and its ilk. Why should I spend my time verifying idwiyo Mar 2013 #113

Thank you for your time. nt Flatulo Mar 2013 #114

Capriles came out bashing the homophobia, actually. joshcryer Mar 2013 #10

Sorry. "Fervent Catholic" and defender of Equal Human Rights for all just don't go together. idwiyo Mar 2013 #12

Eh, you're the one defending the poor LGBT performance of Maduro. joshcryer Mar 2013 #13

Can you please point out where exactly I defend "poor LGBTQ performance by Maduro"? idwiyo Mar 2013 #14

"Both candidates are guilty in this regard." joshcryer Mar 2013 #15

Capriles is "fervent Catholic" by his own words. THAT doesn't go together with Defender of LGBTQ idwiyo Mar 2013 #16

That's a white wash. He's come out against LGBTQ discrimination. joshcryer Mar 2013 #18

So, what stoping him with condemning RCC and dropping his "fervent Catholic" claim? idwiyo Mar 2013 #20

Can you name one Latin American Presidential candidate or politician who has done that? joshcryer Mar 2013 #22

Don't try to wiggle out of it. We are talking about Capriles and his campaign promises. idwiyo Mar 2013 #23

Capriles is a liar. He said whatever he thought he had to say, to win. And liars always end up sabrina 1 Mar 2013 #25

He can propose the law against discrimination of LGBTQ right now. No need to wait until after idwiyo Mar 2013 #26

He's won't put up laws to defend the LGBT community because right now it's the smart move Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #31

He already said he will do so when he is elected. I am guessing THAT would damage him enough idwiyo Mar 2013 #35

"he wants to privitise everything" joshcryer Mar 2013 #45

I'm studying in Miami because my family and I decided to leave the country. Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #53

It was always an ideological issue. Rich vs dirt poor. People who have no problem selling their idwiyo Mar 2013 #57

That's the kind of reply you give? Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #60

Sick and tired refuting the same old arguments over and over and over again. idwiyo Mar 2013 #62

Fair enough. I'd like a link or something I could use to see where you refute them Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #66

I'd like to see a link from you where some here claim Ven is a "socialist utopia". Mika Mar 2013 #101

"selling their country resources to the highest foreign bidder" joshcryer Mar 2013 #63

And it's Chavez fault? He should have known it would happen in advance? What? Is it still going? idwiyo Mar 2013 #90

Well, naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #92

Have a few minutes on internet, here you go: naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #93

I actually posted that link up thread. joshcryer Mar 2013 #119

She reported the facts, as Al Jazeera is known to do. joshcryer Mar 2013 #107

Starting with its 2 year old report. Next would be facts vs hearsay. You know how to tell them apart idwiyo Mar 2013 #108

He should've never sold it so cheap. joshcryer Mar 2013 #117

You are laboring under a misperception people might find your family history Judi Lynn Mar 2013 #69

How kind of you. joshcryer Mar 2013 #71

Still waiting for someone to actually address the points I made instead of attacking me Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #73

Maybe you should start with providing some links to independent sources so one can at a least idwiyo Mar 2013 #89

Alright, here's one concerning the crime rate Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #95

Crime rate is not a secret and was never in dispute. Who and why is responsible is different matter. idwiyo Mar 2013 #96

How is Lawrence, KS? naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #76

Hell she's never even been to Miami Zorro Mar 2013 #79

For what its worth naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #82

lol. naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #74

It's a good thing I know you're being sarcastic, or else I would've just given up in this thread :P Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #77

Of course naaman fletcher Mar 2013 #78

Oh, I knew it was coming... ocpagu Mar 2013 #86

In what moment did I claim to be "superior"? Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #94

The point is that Capriles went one further than Maduro. joshcryer Mar 2013 #27

So claiming to be Catholic automatically makes you a homophobe... That makes PERFECT sense Marksman_91 Mar 2013 #30

Claiming to be "fervent Catholic" does. Also, if he is so pro-LGBTQ rights, why not to introduce idwiyo Mar 2013 #32

Oh lordy he's not going to get elected. joshcryer Mar 2013 #36

Defend them by doing something about it instead of paying lip service. Words are damn cheap. idwiyo Mar 2013 #38

Why not Maduro? joshcryer Mar 2013 #41

We are talking about Capriles, The Defender of LGBTQ Rights, no? If Maduro wants to prove that he idwiyo Mar 2013 #43

Capriles has never said a bigoted statement. joshcryer Mar 2013 #46

"Fervent Catholic" by his own words. Enough said. idwiyo Mar 2013 #47

Nice. joshcryer Mar 2013 #48

Makes it that much harder to believe in Capriles The Defender Of LGBTQ Rights. idwiyo Mar 2013 #51

I've been here since 2002. joshcryer Mar 2013 #59

You have been here since 2002 proves exactly what? See quote below from your own post idwiyo Mar 2013 #61

Why are you here? joshcryer Mar 2013 #64

Your source was RW media website. I made sure that anyone who reads our exchange knows idwiyo Mar 2013 #68

You're wrong, N24 is not RW. joshcryer Mar 2013 #70

You admitted yourself posting links to RW websites because it amuses you. Your words, not mine. idwiyo Mar 2013 #110

Why would I apologize for posting news wire articles? joshcryer Mar 2013 #115

Ha ha ha ha ha. Of course they should, you poor innocent you! idwiyo Mar 2013 #116

You're repeating yourself. joshcryer Mar 2013 #118

Yes, priceless. You are so used posting RW crap it took YOU several hours to figure out that this idwiyo Mar 2013 #98

No, I was more concerned that it was cited as AVN. joshcryer Mar 2013 #105

Of course you were. idwiyo Mar 2013 #109
