Thanks for the link. I'm checking it out now. smile You should go to the Chavez thread in EDP. Your help is needed in the thread. Ransu Basically the mass media of almost every country will not say anything good about Chavez. The reasons for this are the fact that they do not want socialism to happen in Venezuela or anywhere for that matter. The main thing the media wants to do is to make sure that Chavez gets as little support as possible. With no support it makes the struggle for socialism even harder. If youwant to know more about Venezuela or Hugo chavez you can ask me any specific questions you want and I should probably be able to answer as I am a member of the Hands of Venezuela campaign. You can also check out the website http://www.handsoffvenezuela.org/Also you should check out the video no volveran in the beggining there are some opening statements from Chavez, I found it to be quite powerful. http://www.handsoffvenezuela.org/venezuela_dvd_no_volveran_3.htm The video is at the bottom of the page.

So true. People love to take our ideas but whenever one of us wants to get in politics or becomes successful like Chavez then that's when the attacks come. Dom is Dom This makes me sick. I don't understand how people can be so blind as to not see the motives behind the media in portraying Chavez as the devil. If anything, America was built on the ideals of socialistic prosperity, the Founding Fathers putting forth ideals much like modern socialistic ideals. If anything, Chavez is more of an american than our money grubbing, oil hungry, rotten pig stealing great great grandfather President...

That makes me mad too but Chavez didn't silence the tv station. He simply didn't renew their government license. That's all. So now they're more like CNN or Fox instead of PBS. Oh on the topic of your post check out the film "The War on Democracy" by John Pilger. It's a great film that discusses what you're talking about with the US and hypocrisy with dictators specifically in Latin America. It does feature Chavez but only in the beginning since he's more recent. PetersenSpuk What makes me angry isn't the fact that we are demonizing Chavez, but rather that when other dictators have made moves secure their own power, America tends to look the other way, unless they are against us. For instance Shah Reza Khan forced his people to dress like Europeans and had a seacret police that tore the veils of of Iranian women and made Mullahs have to sign a form to wear robes and preach the Qur'an, but since he was our b***h and gave us his oil, we didn't care. The Aparthied Party put up segregation and promoted racism in South Africa for decades, but they outlawed the Communist party making them America's ally. No, Chavez should not have silenced his opponents, but why do we point our finger at him whilst our own nation has been trying to bully Cuba into giving up on being the only working Socialist nation, or invaiding Iraq to gain a millitary beachhead in the middle east (like Israel wasn't good enough). We have become even more hypocritical as we have begun to torture prisoners without trial, the very thing we accused Castro of doing. On a more topic related note, the United States may have aided rebels in a coup d'etat against Chavez in 2002, so if I were him I would certainly beleive Bush to be a "pedejo" or "el diablo."
