I hate to see he is reported as being a "critic of free-market economics" because it is demonization. People actually think that free trade is about an equal playing field when it is all about having a slanted playing field where profits all run out of the country and into the concentrations of wealth in the US.

There is demonization in the presentation of the coca plant, first by associating with cocaine and then by not explain the historical importance of the coca plant and the reasoning of most of the country. The US drug warriors imposed a law in Bolivia that meant that you were guilty until proven innocent. This is just a reaction to decades of injustice and all but open theft of Bolivian natural gas.

Morales is the leader of a populist movement and will have stances highly similar to Chavez in Venezuela, and Chavez has to be a leading candidate for the most hated man in the world by the reigning fascists in the US.

There is nothing up yet at http://narconews.com/ on the election, but there surely will be something up very soon.
