And "constant barrage of advertising" is pretty fucking hilarious (if not a blatant lie, but I presume ignorance here) given that they're limited to two or three 30 second spots a day.

"Your bitching about his only getting a short time to campaign falls on deaf ears."

Ahh, right, it seems like you know this already, but don't give a shit.

The cadenas take over all over the air TV stations in Venezuela. If you want to watch over the air TV when they're on, they're all you can watch.

Don't worry, I wouldn't expect you to support a fairness doctrine or an equal time clause in Venezuela. You already are happy with the rules stacked against Capriles and don't give one iota about how the elections there are unfair. The double standard is just rich, is all.

The rhetoric coming from Capriles camp against Cuba is almost to boot the same rhetoric idwiyo Mar 2013 #170

Can you please cite Capriles or his lead campaigners using that language? joshcryer Mar 2013 #173

Quick, goal posts move! And here is an example of the rhetoric, from a supporter right here on DU: idwiyo Apr 2013 #185
