Poll question: Gaddafi and his fellow friend & dictator Hugo Chavez are now roommates...

How will they spend their first day together?

[fascisthunter]

1. durrrrrr

very boring indeed

[malaise]

15. Ditto n/t

[Ken Burch]

2. Qaddafi ISN'T going to Venezuela

And Chavez isn't a dictator anyway.

(Nice right-wing propaganda bullshit, though).

It's Republican to be anti-Chavez, since the only alternative to him is restoring the conservative old order.

[apocalypsehow]

4. LOL - fun stuff. n/t.

[fittosurvive]

22. Actually, Obama and his SOS have both said that Chavez is a dictator.

[Ken Burch]

23. That's because they want the rich people running Venezuela again.

The Obama Administration doesn't want a progressive Latin America. They want peons. That's all market economies ever create in any of the countries to our south.

Remember, HRC's got Miami Cuban in-laws.

[fittosurvive]

32. Yes, I'm sure Obama, the entire State Dept. and the human rights groups are all wrong about Chavez.

:sarcasm:

[Ken Burch]

35. They serve the rich. That's all our Latin American policy has ever been about.

That's why we're STILL at war with Cuba. Batista was JUST as repressive as anything that's happening there now, but our regime was okay with that because he let the American rich run the place.

"Anticommunism" was never about anything progressive or positive. It was just about defending "private property rights"-the most toxic concept on the planet.

Don't assume it's different just because they call themselves "Democrats". Obama proved what side he was on in Latin America when he endorsed the coup in Honduras.

[enlightenment]

31. And that makes it so . . .

Nice to know we don't have to do any independent thinking anymore - just wait for the administration to tell us what to think.

[fittosurvive]

34. It's more than just them. But you know that.

[Ken Burch]

36. No one who isn't reactionary wants Chavez overthrown.

If he fell, the only thing that would be allowed to replace him would be something like Nicaragua's "UNO" cabal, a government that had no progressive policies on anything.

Face it, in Latin America, this country has always been on the side of evil.

[fishwax]

40. and the administration said Mubarak wasn't

ironic.

[myrna minx]

3. Venezuela denies reports Gaddafi on his way there

Nice try.

[Egalitariat]

19. Chavez rules by decree. Not a dictator. White is black. Yes is no.

[LanternWaste]

5. would that be any worse than, or any better than...?

If the allegations are correct, would that be any worse than, or any better than the U.S. importing Nazi war criminals into America at the end of the WW2?




How did we spend our first day together? A few bars of the Horst Wessel song followed by hot dogs and a baseball game...?

[JVS]

6. Maybe they'll log on to DU and post right wing bullshit.

[gratuitous]

29. Looks like someone beat them to it

Aren't they just the cutest lil thangs? Bless their hearts.

[robdogbucky]

7. Help! The Rovian Concern Trolls have invaded, the Rovian Concern Trolls have invaded n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

8. Enjoy your check from the Kochs.

[lunatica]

9. So you're going with the rumor before anything is proven then?

[leftstreet]

10. Meh this Chavez thread is already full of fail

You're supposed to passively agressively suggest Hugo is a dictator !!1111 Don't just say it.



I doubt this will get Hugo to logon and see if he's gotten any hearts

:cry:

[Agony]

11. Why don't you do a real poll like: How many times did James Carville try to fuck over Venezuelans?

You COULD talk about real stuff instead of this inane republican talking points.

[NoPasaran]

12. Go clubbing with the Kardashians

I hope Muammar lends some of his fabulous outfits to Hugo.

[upi402]

13. Q: What did Hillary do to toplle a democratically elected foreign leader?

troll poll

[AlabamaLibrul]

14. Poll question: When did you stop beating your wife?

[slackmaster]

21. I interpreted the OP as a hypothetical situation presented for discussion

What did you think it was?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

24. See #3.

[slackmaster]

25. I wasn't aware of the "report".

I thought the thread was basically a joke.

[ReggieVeggie]

26. has this been verified?

isn't this flame bait?

[devilgrrl]

27. Awesome!!!! A new "LET'S MAKE SHIT UP ABOUT HUGO CHAVEZ" thread.

Hugo Chavez armed Libya back in the 80's!!!!

[leftstreet]

28. Hugo Chavez gave California Peggy ALL her valentine hearts

It's true!!!111111

:cry:

[JVS]

33. Hugo Chavez put together Ghaddafi's wardrobe!

[Ken Burch]

37. Hugo bought that plate of ribs for Michelle Obama, just to get her in trouble with Rush!

And he kicks puppy dogs, too!

[white_wolf]

30. I don't know for sure

but based on our past history with dictators I wouldn't be surprised if WE armed them back in the 80s.

[Iggo]

39. Hugo Chavez hid my shades and now I have to squint.
