Unbelievable!

Does anyone here really think Chavez will pull this off to completion? Are people in the 21st century really going to allow themselves to be enslaved from freedom like this?

So, I’m sure huge numbers of DUmmies and other left-wingers will soon rush down to Venezuela to help Hugo forge his communist paradise and bust-up these student protests.

They might not have a choice if Chavez continues to be aided by one of the most powerful and corrupt political parties on the earth.

Nope, they'll defend him from the comfort of Mommy's basement till their fingers ache.

Honestly I suspect a lot of them realize by now that Chavez isn't the great liberator of the people. Unfortunately the first rule of liberalism is to never EVER admit you're wrong.

You can be certain that IF the U.S. somehow got involved, these same students would TURN on the U.S. “Imperialists” and suddenly proclaim their devotion to Chavez.
I say the Venezuelan citizens need to reap what they have sewn for putting this a-hole in power. Let em live under a TYRANT for awhile.

I agree, they’ll figure it out sooner or later.

Key advice for DUmmmies wanting to go to support the Chavez Revolution:

If you wear your Comrade Che t-shirt with his face on the front, you are part of Team Chavez.

If you wear your Comrade Che t-shirt with his face on the back, Team Chavez will kill you.

This is a new revolution! This is the Chavez revolution! This is the kook revolution, and we are not ashamed!

The students are the children of the aristos who Chavez is destroying.

The aristos must be chastened befor being allowed to continue their policies of rich getting richer with no chance for their peasantry to advance.

"The student who was killed was named Andreina Gomez Guevara."

Wonder if she is kin to Che? Wouldn't that be ironic?

The inside story needs more public attention. FoxNews dong a pretty good job; save the 'counterpoint' guests who offer that Chavez is NO dictator; and just 'taking care of business'. . .

Meantime, these brave and determined citizens are needing the 'light of truth' to shine from our own media.

Of course, not much of our media left; willing to turn their lights on, for Venezuela.

Why not? Castro did.

This story is about a week old and actually was pretty widely reported.

Of course, the MSM had no trouble buying the line that the assassination was neither sponsored nor executed by the Chavez regime.

No need to investigate further, the commies’ word is good enough.

That said, the article accompanying this post is short on facts and long on rhetoric. Doesn't’t help much more than reading a CNN or Reuters piece.

The people of Venezuela in the long run will not be the ones who decide if they are enslaved or not.

The military can very easily crush these protests. Chavez recently armed 500,000 of his peasant followers with the front of a pending American invasion

If Chavez doesn't back down, other governments will eventually force the issue either by diplomacy or by force.

There are steps to enslavement. Just check the Liberal/Socialist agendas here in our Country or check out Communist's web sites; all ideas indistinguishable. . .Listen to Hillaryspeak. . Listen to the debased radical Left.

Their goals are tsunami-like. . .you do not see it; until too late.

Just look at who/what we are fighting against. Given tactics. . .MO and agenda of our enemies; does it feel like we are fighting a 21st century war?

If Castro-wannabe, Chavez; does NOT succeed; it will not be because he did not try. . .

And to think that in some quarters, Pinochet is still being savaged.

Just heard from my aunt in Caracas. She had her passport confiscated when she tried to leave the country to visit her sister in Florida. Apparently,the Govt. in Venezuela is not allowing people out of the country if their destination is the U.S.
