Okay boys and girls. Here is your homework assignment. Since the MSM is RELUCTANT to cover Hugo Chavez's anti free speech efforts or label him as an authoritarian like they do Rudolph Guiliani, your assignment is to ask Jimmy Carter on camera if he would consider Chavez an authoritarian for closing down RCTV in Caracas. If you can get an answer to that question on camera and upload the video to YouTube, I promise to feature it bigtime in the DUmmie FUnnies. Be sure to contact me when you have completed this assignment. Meanwhile it is no surprise that the DUmmies are hailing the closure of RCTV by the Chavez thugs in Venezuela as you can see in this THREAD titled, "VENEZUELA: Fake CIA protests don't count!" Believe me, the Leftwing in this country would LOVE to do the same here. If given the power, the first thing the Left would do is Hush Rush. They are already trying to accomplish this with an attempt to re-institute the "Fairness Doctrine." Of course, the liberals will piously declare that the "Fairness Doctrine" is about getting more balance on the air but if you read the leftwing blogosphere, they don't hide the fact that the real purpose is to Hush Rush. So let us now watch the DUmmies cheer on the clampdown on free speech in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, reminding everybody about that extra credit homework assignment, is in the [brackets]:
VENEZUELA: Fake CIA protests don't count!
[Watch how the DUmmies rationalize Chavez's commie tactics...]
President Hugo Chavez is shutting down a RW CIA operation mistakenly called a "TV" station and not only does he have a perfect right to do that, it's his patriotic DUTY to do so.
[See. It RCTV wasn't really a TV station, it was only a RW CIA operation. Next they will call the Rush Limbaugh show a "RW CIA operation."]
For six years this RW nest of snakes has been trying to overthrow a DEMOCRATICALLY elected leader. This so-called TV station helped the coup in 2002 and they have never stopped aiding covert US forces since then.
[Coverage of the coup now called "helped the coup." BTW, what about the TV stations that covered Chavez's own coup attempt in 1992?]
He gave them plenty of warnings but they just kept up their SHIT! It is time for the FASCIST media to get it thru there head that everybody is getting sick and tired of their FAKE NEWS CHANNELS which are being used to overthrow governments by creating FAKE CIA protests.
[Damn that RCTV for continuing to cover the news even after being given a warning to mouth the Chavista Comunista line.]
Hugo Chavez was legally elected and he has duty to protect his people from covert attacks by other countries. RCTV is a threat to Venezuela's national security. Personally I think just shutting it down was being WAY TO NICE! The "reporters" cough cough, should be THROWN IN PRISON FOR TREASON!
[Imagine what DUmmie Joanne98 would do if given the least amount of power in this country. No doubt she would shut down Rush, Laura Ingraham, and a long line of other conservative radio shows.]
This should be a message to all in the FAKE MEDIA and their counterpart organizations... YOU ARE CRIMINALS and you are not getting away with this crap anymore.
[It just has to KILL DUmmie Joanne98 to hear any contrary opinions at all. Or should we call her Comandante Joanne98?]
All you SELFISH GREEDY RW CRIMINALS can go right to HELL! GOD BLESS HUGO CHAVEZ!
[And as Comandante Joanne98 plunges off the sanity cliff let us now watch her fellow DUmmies who agree with her hatred of free speech...]
Viva Chavez!!!
[Viva Chavez!!! Es mi dictador favorito!]
Viva Chavez back at you :-) - it is funny to watch the children of the rich protest along with the employees of the rich protest - Fox is going nuts - I am enjoying today more than I expected to.
[Woo Hoo! I just love it when Commies crack down on free speech. It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside!]
Are leftist dictatorships OK?
[In DUmmieland...ABSOLUTELY!]
It's his patriotic duty to assume all the power and suppress opposition.
[Don't question his patriotism.]
RCTV brought this on theirselves and they deserve everything they get.
[They will say the same thing about Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham if the Left ever shuts them down.]
I don't guess it matters that RCTV has been around 53 years.
[Doesn't mean a thing. It's Chavez's patriotic duty as a "Bolivaran" commie to stifle all free speech.]
I think many of us are somewhat put off by the apparent cheerleading of actions that would be considered reprehensible if they were to occur here.
[Sorry DUmmie Flatulo. But if the Left were ever to shut down Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham, they would be popping open champagne bottles in celebration in DUmmieland.]
Indeed we need some of that Venezuelan Democracy in the US - heck I'd be happy if we could just get their voting machines and used their auditing system...
[...to elect Dennis Kookcinich as president.]
If you are worried about Dictatorship, perhaps the election thefts of 00, 02, 04, and nearly 06 might concern you. A congress where the GOP will fight the Election Reform Bill - a country where a fake reformer - Bev Harris - can be purchased to demand the real election reform bill HR 811 be shelved and a substitute that doesn't protect us H.R. 2360 passed instead because the replacement bill gives local officials more power while still requiring a "trail with audit ability" - not mentioning her replacement bill does not require audits and also prevents the computer code from being reviewed by the States - read about our election thefts if you want to learn about the rich and their "dictatorship of the GOP" attempts that are sadly all too successful in the US.
[That fake reformer, Bev Harris, sure conned your fellow Dummies quite easily. Oh, and Bev is just $10 away from overturning the 2004 election.]
The rules in Venezuela are narrowly drawn to achieve a specific purpose because the country realizes that the faster they devolve political power the safer their democracy will be. It's a society that was the most polarized by wealth in the world ten years ago. They want and need to change fast, and I don't see how any sensible person can complain about that.
[The DUmmie rationale for collectivization.]
There is no violation of the separation of powers. These measures have been used before and successfully to achieve specific goals and for a specified term.
[DUmmie DoubleSpeak.]
If the US Congress were to vote Bush the power to bypass the legislature for any reason, would you be outraged? Do you trust anyone with this kind of power?
[DUmmies already think Bush has absolute power. It is part of their Alternate Universe mindset.]
There's nothing slippery about it. Bush flouts the law. Mr. Chavez is not flouting the law. And no, I don't think this Venezuelan practice would work in this country because our government is owned by corporate interests. That isn't the case in Venezuela today.
[According to the DUmmie mindset, anything Hugo Chavez does is okay with them because he is a "Bolivaran" Bolshevik.]
Chavez now has dictatorial powers that cannot be checked by the legislature. Do you approve of this because you happen to agree with his politics?
[Of course. Clamping down on free speech is just great with the Left if the instigator is a "progressive."]
Let's pay attention to the dictator we have here at home, and stop pointing our fingers at other nations lecturing them on the benefits of democracy and freedom when we have media that routinely lies to the people and a voting system that's so corrupt you have no way of knowing if your vote really counted. Get off your high horse, friend. We got enough problems here to be worried about what's going on there.
[DUmmies ignore the REAL dictators and focus in on imaginary dictators.]
Fox is denying my freedom of speech by holding its broadcasting license. I demand that they respect my freedom of speech by turning it over to me.
[Said a Hugo Chavez wannabee.]
Who Owned RCTV? Do you know? Do you Care? Do you think they had an anti-Chavez agenda? Did they take money from the US CIA in part to foment the 2002 coup attempt? Does that bother you? Do you know how many times they violated the media laws in Venezuela?
[Karl Rove owned RCTV?]
That this tyrant is defended on DU is saddening.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
When you write the laws, by definition you cannot flout them.
[Said a Hugo Chavez wannabee.]
Said the Lousy Freeper Troll. It’s a good thing in a way the DUmmies are so totally lacking in a sense of humor or of common sense - they’d spot LFTs like yourself in a heartbeat.
The poor DUmmies are having a rough week.
Cindy Shehag says she quit because Dummies were mean to her.
They are tearing themselves up over Cindy and Oooogo.
Whats next? Will Will Pitt announce that he likes girls?
The employees of the rich? Wouldn't that make them poor, downtrodden peones? Wasn't Huge-o supposed to be the champion of the masses? Who knew he was so broad-minded, to allow both sides to protest?
You gotta wonder whether this one is mad at giving the “late” Andy Stephenson funds, too.
“POLITICIZE MY GULLIBILITY!”
bump
But President Bush doesn't have that duty, huh?
Hitler was elected as well...Jimmy Carter would of approved of the good nazi as he certified the election
Link to DuHHH thread on this:

Actually Chavez probably wouldn’t shut down the DUmmies computers, since that would be the kind of propaganda he would want to spread. He would shut down FR and other conservative sites though.
I'll call it...LFT!
Only if they're under 12.
Cindie
And only if compelled by a grand jury inquiry or by suborning of purjory.
I guess without fellow moonbats Larry Johnson and Valerie Plame at the CIA, they are back to hating it again.
Not me. I really liked it: the Shmenge Brothers, Johnny LaRue, Edith Prickley, Count Floyd. . . . Funny stuff.
"Over my dead body!
I am repeatedly stunned by the posts over at DU.
Sometimes I simply cannot believe these folks have a functioning brain cell.
I am lost for the words that describe this post. Insane? Naive? Delusional? Brainwashed? Drugged?
Are we sure these people are real?
What about real CIA protests?
BTW, how did Miss Venezuela do in the Miss Universe contest? Venezuela always does quite well in beauty contests. Beauty queens and shortstops--that's what Venezuela is good at. Ugly dictators--not so good.
