Hard to believe those are the thoughts of fellow Americans.

Then you are obviously unaware of the massive cheerleading section of the American populace on the East Coast during the 1930s and early 1940s for Stalin and his policies.

RCTV Venezuela Final Transmission (2:06)

The final moments of broadcast show the entire staff of the network singing a tearful rendition of the national anthem, with its stirring hymn of "respect for the law, valor, and honor". Then the signal fades, the screen goes black, and the logo of the news State television network comes up: a graphical representation of a television screen composed of vertical color bars, with the traditional colors of Venezuela fading slowly into the red of the new socialist regime.

How come you are not falling over each other to go and protect the citizens freedoms to speak their piece? How come you are not all over the TV in support of the people? Huh, Huh, HUH? Too dangerous? Oh yeah, you are really only full of hot air...I forgot.

Come on people of Venezuela!

Yes, PRAY and SING and keep fighting.<

Oh so sad for this nation and so bad for America and the world that this tinpot dictator keeps spreading his malignant tyranny through his country, and, he hopes, through all the world.

When will we/anyone stop him? When the missiles start flying here from Iran?

Of course should the Demonrats take the Presidency, El Hugo Stalin will just come over freely and do whatever he pleases here with his destroyer mentality....because he will fit right in with those running this country.

That photo ranks with the one of the lone man blocking a column of PLA tanks in 1989.

And, that POS, lying dirtbag, waste of "human" flesh, Jimmy Carter, loves Comrade Fuhrer Hugo Chavez.

May Chavez, Ahmedinejad and Carter rot slowly and painfully in Hell for all eternity.

What’s with these countries? They are owned by a small number of families. Come the revolution are they are replaced by another small number of families. But I guess, historically, that is the norm.

Wow. Thank you for posting that. I had tears in my eyes listening to these folks saying good bye.

The thing that was the most touching was their farewell to “la prensa internacional que nos acompaña.” Sadly, I don’t think the press here gives a good GD.

Thank you - but I don't speak Spanish or portuguese.

All I know is that my heart is with all the freedom loving people of Venezuela! May they find the strength to overthrow this tyrant!

Much of the DUmp is celebrating Chavez's actions.

Tear gas, cool, but they should be cutting down the pro-fascist anti-Chavez putschists in a hail of lead.

if we get into the White House ..can we Muzzle that stink'n FOX station!

To be fair, the region erupts in chaos after many soccer games.
