NOBODY really believes that Chavez is dead. They just wish it were so. And they are more than willing to call him incapacitated, without any evidence, just so they can snatch power and undo all the good Chavez has done for his people.

Comforting the afflicted, and afflicting the comfortable....that's not just Christianity, or socialism. That's the purpose of society. Anything else is slavery of the 99%. And remember, you and I and all the people we know are that 99%.
