Let's hope the low information voters don't get confused.

Hmmm... maybe the low information voters do not even know who Hugo and Cesar are? LOL

I wonder how many times FoxNews will accidentally 'ON PURPOSE' say that President Obama attended a ceremony to honor 'Hugo' Chavez!
I wouldn't put anything past those A$$holes.

a democratic nation like Venezuela?

It would certainly make many ex pat Latin Americans in this country happy. Chavez is super popular throughout Latin America.

Why did you say it might be a problem for Fox to confuse both Hugo and Cesar?

They hate both of them so what's the difference?

A Labor Guy and a real Democratic President who actually believes in and implements FDR type policies which put people first in his country. Putting People first is what makes Fox hate Hugo, but they hate them both so I wouldn't worry about it.

Btw, WHO worries about Fox anyhow? No Fox fan is going to vote for a Democrat ever anyhow and their opinion of anything is simply beyond contempt. Hopefully no one on DU shares their hatred of Hugo and Cesar.

Former allies of Hugo Chavez blow the whistle on 'corrupt' dynasty

The Telegraph
April 19, 2010

A former ally of Hugo Chávez has turned on the Venezuelan president, claiming that his administration is more corrupt that the ruling class that it usurped.

Wilmer Azuaje joined Mr Chávez's revolution a decade ago and worked with the president's family to turn their home state of Barinas into a hotbed of political change.

He is now the Chávez family's most outspoken foe. "They turned out to be the most corrupt ever. They betrayed us," he told the Guardian.

Mr Azuaje claims that in Barinas farms, businesses, banks and government contracts have been taken over by the president's parents and five brothers.

zero credibility, and especially of all rags, The Telegarph.

They hate him because he is what we think of here as a Real Democrat.

And the Telegraph is a tabloid rag. Being smeared by that rag is a compliment.

He is the most popular leader in Latin America and in other parts of the world. The only place he is not popular is with the Right Wing Global Cartel Controlled Western NATO allies. And they are becoming less and less relevant every day.

I am a huge fan of any leader who puts his people first, before Corporations, before Foreign investors because he always remembers that THEY elected him and it is to them he owes his loyalty and respect before anyone else.

He is one of this era's great leaders and history will record it that way. The Telegraph?
