Reply #60: Because we know darn well he's being set up as the next

Saddam Hussein. Notice the MSM never worries about dictators in countries that don't have a lot of oil.

Chavez isn't a dictator. He was elected. He wants term limits done away with, but he is trying to have them amend the constitution, not just decreeing that.

Those who wanted to overthrow him weren't just criticizing, they were actively trying to overthrow the government - that wouldn't be allowed here either. We've just never experienced that sort of opposition. Actively saying overthrow the system itself, not just loyal opposition.

Plus anyone educated in the shenanigans of the CIA for the last 50 years knows it is very likely that they are doing operations there to affect the government.

It's all about oil, in the end.

The emotionality of it probably comes from constantly dealing with posts just dismissing him as a dictator. Those posters are letting the MSM control their impressions. That is frustrating, especially on DU where you think people have a bit of skepticism at least, about the MSM.
