Lmao -- yes, thousands of people in the street	EFerrari	Jun 2012	#32

"That's kind of how it works."	unkachuck	Jun 2012	#66
It doesn't work like that in NYC, as we have seen lately	EFerrari	Jun 2012	#68

Well, a fake "coup" might trigger a congressional investigation.	boppers	Jun 2012	#77
Red herring. RCTV wasn't shut down even after they facilitated the coup.	EFerrari	Jun 2012	#85

No. We would also let them off in the name of unity.	ieoeja	Jun 2012	#127
Yes, we let powerful people off. Reagan was a President, Nixon was a president.	sabrina 1	Jun 2012	#140
Chavez participated in a coup, so obviously he is a traitor too correct?	Bacchus4.0	Jun 2012	#128

It sure does... but I don't see that date the way you see it.	ChangoLoa	Jun 2012	#147
When would you date them becoming an "imperialist power"?	boppers	Jun 2012	#150
All of them?	naaman fletcher	Jun 2012	#28
When you repeat corporatist talking points, then...	bitchkitty	Jun 2012	#137

They're going to "stand up to tyranny" by voting.	Comrade Grumpy	Jun 2012	#13

The people who actually monitored elections there don't agree with you.	Comrade Grumpy	Jun 2012	#18
Oh yes they do - and you well know it. But nice try. n/t.	apocalypsehow	Jun 2012	#19

The elections in Venezuela are Transparent, Verifiable, and monitored by Internatioonal agencies,	bvar22	Jun 2012	#39

Calling Chavez a dictator and tyrant is an extraordinary claim.	pa28	Jun 2012	#43
yes I agree	naaman fletcher	Jun 2012	#45
If he'd been a tyrant, he would have zapped them when they started violent protests,	Judi Lynn	Jun 2012	#35
A 100 18 year olds were going to kill Chavez?	ChangoLoa	Jun 2012	#47
Whoever said the paramilitaries were 18 years old? Some of them were former Colombian soldiers.	Judi Lynn	Jun 2012	#62
Right, there were like 2 or 3 adults with them... LOL. Why were they sent back to their homes...	ChangoLoa	Jun 2012	#146
Yes, given the Tascón List it is very brave of these people to show support for Capriles.	joshcryer	Jun 2012	#82

If you read the thread	naaman fletcher	Jun 2012	#42
I don't understand why people think that is an argument for anything.	EFerrari	Jun 2012	#58
