The thing with Chavez is that he has always made sense, even when giving reasons for controlling the press to an extent. But the western media love to mis-quote him and lose vital points in translation.

Saul Alinsky tactic? Laughable at best. I suppose I misunderstood your views and assumed incorrectly that you believed the propaganda against non-western leaders. I do disagree with your statement praising Chavez, but I'm curious to know as to why you think him a saint? Nice links, by the way.
I'm sorry. It is a tad bit annoying when one presents reference after reference and the person you are trying to have a discussion with says "nope that don't count" "Nope that don't count" "nope that don't count" rather than bringing out their own references as a counterpoint in the discussion. The Saint comment was a bit of sarcasm due to the aformentioned annoyance.
I've posted references that demonstrate that Chavez has been less than a lover of freedom.
Meh, when all someone does in a discussion is declare every reference that disagrees with him invalid, the only response it to flood him with references.

So what you are saying its that Chaves is high on the US chit list, also a terrorist with WMD that needs Humanitarian Aid and a Regime Change?

No, he is now something that hipsters can replace Che on their T-shirts with.
Libya was an internal struggle, Obama provided some military assistance.
No new invasions have taken place under the Obama administration.

I was not simply saying "nope that don't count" because I disagree with it. I was attempting to show you that your sources are funded by a government with an agenda. ie. a bias against Chavez. Is this forum not for disseminating information and trying to find the truth?
