Here is your quote-
"My point is that Chavez accuses the US of being "imperialist" in its policies. This is a complaint not unique to Chavez and, given the situation in Iraq, hard to dispute. However, I guarantee that Chavez will not suddenly drop this label if and when we ever get out of Iraq.

Chavez is one of dozens of attention hungry third world leaders who stir up the emotions of their voter base by crapping on the US in high profile international forums."

Looks like you did indeed imply that we are not imperialist. You see Buzz, by saying that Chavez "accuses" us of being imperialist, you have just attempted to slur him.

Now I have no problem with you not liking him, and/or disagreeing with his policies, but you have clearly gotten in over your head here. You have made lots of assertions about what an awful guy Chavez is, without being able to articulate your reasoning, and support it with facts.

That is a problem.

Of course you could clearly just say, "I just don't like the guy" but then that would be totally ignorant.

Isn't there some saying about shovels, holes, and digging?
