John Kerry, the Bay State boy toy, launched a scathing attack on the neo-communist leader of Venzuela, Hugo Chavez today, accusing him of being a "dubious democrat", and upsetting the possiblity of getting an endorsement from the Venezuelan.
This skirmish between the two leftist leaders has upset some in the Kerry camp, who supported Chavez in his Revolution that brought him back to power two years ago.
One anguished Kerry supporter took to the internet, and in a missive laden with profanity, opined:
F* Kerry, what a piece of sh*t. This kind of crap really pisses me off. As much as I can't stand Bush and don't want him back, I don't think I can support a guy like Kerry who makes statements like this. I think Greens are the answer. It may take a while to build up the party to be a force, but it looks like the only and best way to me. One guy like Nader, even if he were to win, isn't go to make a dent in this. To make a difference, it's going to take a sustained and growing grass roots movement, imo, based on principles of social justice and humanitarian values where people understand and "evangelize" to others how biased and tainted the mass media and the established parties are toward big business. Big business and big money own these political parties, and they own Kerry as well.
Another one, with a photo of Marx as his "tag-line", said:
This is one line in the sand that I will not cross for Mr. Electable. What's next for Kerry? Keep Otto Reich, John Bolton, and John Negroponte to help him pursue the SAME Fascist foreign policy in Latin America that Bush is pursuing?
John Kerry may have underestimated the depth of support for communist dictators within his party. Clearly, the base of the Democrat party would be happier with nominating Hugo Chavez than John Kerry.
If a Castro-style dictator looks anything like a democrat at all, we have more to worry about Kerry than most even at the center would like to admit.
We knew that anyway.
More like buyer's remorse.
