HOPEing for CHANGE in El Salvador

By Revolter

El Salvador's right-wing ARENA party is desperate to retain the presidency next month. Back in In 2004, State Dep. officials Otto Reich, Roger Noriega, Congressmen Tom Tancredo, Dan Burton and other undesirables gave ARENA a big hand, warning Salvadorans that their relatives in the US would be deported en masse and remittances cut off if the left-wing FMLN won. Seriously.

Their statements ran nonstop in ARENA ads and the mainstream press, leading to the election of this douchebag.

But hey, we're in a new era of hope! This time around, Bush and Co. have remained silent, and even though the Salvadoran right is going bonkers trying to convince voters that the US will punish them if the FMLN wins, that's all going to have to change in an Obama administration, right?

Right?


Um, here is an ARENA campaign ad featuring top Obama Latin America advisor Dan Restrepo saying ridiculous things about Hugo Chavez and, by implication, the FMLM. And this time the foreign-funded fear campaign isn't just coming from the US, at least directly.

As these ads show, the charge is being co-led by Fuerza Solidaria, an opposition group from, wait for it, Venezuela.

1. A hispanic Karl Rove, Restrepo. Nice! Just like Otto Reich, and Roger Noriega.

It may take longer than anyone had imagined, but these guys are gonna go. Latin Americans will not allow the U.S. to get back astride their faces again, installing and propping up fascists, torturing and murdering all their political opposition.

That's not going to happen. They have passed the point of no return. No going back.

It's bigger than all the weaponry and bribe money of the oligarchy. In time they will be ground down to a fine powder by the people and their right to simple freedom. In time.

2. All funded by our tax dollars--all this deceit and greed and interference and insult--

--and barbarity.

It just makes you want scream.
