Even the squishes at the Carter Center can see the downside of Chavez' latest outrage, but they can't bring themselves to condemn him.

Hey Carter Center, If you certified it, you own it!

"Healthy democracies require spaces for political dialogue..."

It's not a democracy, pinhead. It's now a benevolent dictatorship. And dictatorships have one way dialogues.

There are none so blind as those with their heads up their asses.

You have a much lower "benevolence" threshold than I do.

I believe the only way that “Jimma” can get an accurate respresentation of what is going on over there is for him to personally move there. Oops, I mean “permanently”.

[Cicero]

Didn’t Carter Himself certify Chavez’s last election, and insist that the process was absolutely fair?

"See Jimma. The recount is correct, I am el Presidente for Life! "

[mikeus_maximus]

liberals mugged by reality once again.

[Edgerunner]

"Healthy democracies require spaces for political dialogue and debate to allow divisions about the future direction of the country to be addressed in peaceful ways,"

Apparently the Carter Center still considers the country a healthy democracy...

[siunevada]

I guess no one at the Carter Center was willing to give their name for attribution. “It” speaks for itself.

This requires Jimmahs IMMEDIATE presence in Venezeula,and he shouls stay for YEARS!!!!

[Osage Orange]

"A plurality of opinions should be protected," it said. "The right of dissent must be fiercely defended by every democratic government."

If Chavez is running a democratic government...I'm a mutant lesbian amazon monkey.

[ulm1]

Does this mean Harry Belafonte and Cindy Sheehan were WRONG about Chavez?????????????????????

[3AngelaD]

Snort!

[Brilliant]

“The Carter Center called for dialogue Thursday between President Hugo Chavez and opponents...”

Sounds like Carter is afraid that the Hugo Chavez regime is on the brink of collapse, and is therefore offering his services to shore up the regime and pacify Chavez’s opponents.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

they can't bring themselves to condemn him

Or anyone else on the left. Jimmy Carter makes abiding by FR's "no profanity" rule very, very difficult.

Breaking News!!!

Chavez just sent Jimmy a check and a note telling him to keep his trap shut.

[TexasCajun]

"Hey Hugo Baby!__ Ameria can kiss our ass! "

"Is that a pistol in your pocket or are you happy to see me? "
