In reply to the discussion: Here's what I would have said to Hugo Chavez, had I seen him at the last [View all]Catherina
(35,568 posts)68. It's definitely hilarious
but not a surprise.
My particular favorite is that Chavez lined students up and killed them, murdered thousands though no bodies can be produced, and even the coup participants were pardoned to live freely in Venezuela.
It's particularly telling who's throwing boulders at Chavez, clamoring for propaganda of the press whole ignoring the millions we kill around the world and which wealthy politicians are raking in huge profits from their spouses and relatives' arms sales.
Chavez was loved by the people and will always be loved by the people.
The thieves, neocons and neoliberals, not so much. Their hatred is just going to increase as the admiration for Chavez grows. And I'm going to enjoy every bleeding minute of it.
