Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, loser in the recent Venezuelan national referendum which would grant him increasing dictatorial powers, has ended his brief benevolence and contrition (if it ever was there) it would seem. But he did so with a backdrop of Venezuela's top military, sending a strong, yet somewhat shaky, staged subliminal message to his opponents.
The video (short, in Spanish) is at the link above and here: http://www.el-nacional.com/www/site/detalle_multimedia.php?q=med/5475
Just hit the white "arrow" to see.
I believe this is precisely the question that held up the announcement of the election results. When Chavez concluded he didn't have the military behind him, he reluctantly accepted the NO vote, trying to put the best face on it.
I’m sure now his secret police are getting the names of everyone who voted ‘No.’
Have another bowl of oafmeal, you idiot clown.
And the American left love this guy (and they want Hillary to win...it really isn’t hard to do the math). He is the new Castro for all the Hollywood putty-heads and academic mental midgets.
This guy needs a bullet now.
After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
—Bertolt Brecht, after the Berlin uprising of June 17, 1953
Hollywood weeps.

I knew I could count on you!!
Happy to be of service. :)
If he had any class whatsoever, he'd conduct himself in the proper manner of a loss. Instead he puffs out his ugly feathers and tries to strut around with his pride and his silly ego and convince people he may be down but not out.
He needs to take lessons from one that's had every ugly hateful thing one can think of said about him, Our President. Now that's an humble man with more class in one little finger than that thug could even imagine.

I’m shocked he didn’t steal this election. What could have stopped him?
One story posted earlier today suggested that the military stopped him. No way to tell if it’s true, but it makes sense to me. Otherwise, he’d surely have stolen it with 96% of the vote, the way Fidel always did. And sent the designated 4% to prison for voting the wrong way.
"Don't say anything about his scar . . . You'll see it but don't say it, you follow my drift? The other thing, be sure to compliment his art collection."
Actually, he may require the services of a skilled Neuro-Proctologist. He might be ok after the cranial-rhoidectomy. Tricky surgery. He might not make it if he can’t learn to breathe through his nose.
yep.
the vote was probably more like 80/20 against. he just declared a small margin of victory so that he can regroup and take out a few opposition leaders and then have another vote.
