Left in the US was so supportive of the Venezuelan people and so respected what they did and their choice of leader. On all the progressive democratic forums at the time, there was not one democrat who did not support the people of Venezuela. Then I began to notice the infiltration of Progressive boards by the anti-Chavez/Venezuelan people, propagandists and the sudden silence of previous supporters of Chavez in Congress.

The Wikileaks cables on Venezuela finally confirmed the reason for the hatred of Chavez, and it's not for the good of the people of Venezuela. Truth telling is a dangerous thing when the powerful do not have good intentions.

Still, I am encouraged that despite the infiltration of Left Forums here in the US, it is getting much harder for the propaganda to spread in today's world after the Bush years taught the whole world that no, we are not the good guys and the world supports leaders like Chavez while our own leaders are no longer respected.
