The government requires military personnel to take an oath to "the fatherland, socialism, or death,"

Sounds alot like the oath another famous German socialist made his army take -

This is the only way that socialism “works” - total dictatorship.

"critics say Chavez simply wants to silence a vocal opponent of the regime."

Duh.

I’m glad the whole world is watching this.

Too many people considered Chavez a sort of hero to the people.

That idea is now dead. Chavez killed it himself.

Said dictator was a great innovator in these matters, unfortunately.

And here in the U.S. Democrats want to revive the “Fairness” Doctrine. Birds of a fascist feather.

Chavez on Wednesday turned his sights on another, smaller opposition news channel, Globovision

This is not my field of expertise, but...wasn't Globovision a major news outlet a few years ago? It seems strange to hear it referred to as small potatoes.

Used to be. Venezuela was a pretty neat place to visit in the 1990's. Margarita Island is beautiful, although back then you had to be careful of banditos in the countryside.

I enjoyed Caracas. No mas. I wouldn't go there on a high dollar bet.

You know the Ann Coulter rule? A/k/a the CZJ rule? I say there should be a rule for Chavez, Sheehan, Helen Thomas, and possibly even for Algore threads: “NO pics. Freepers are digesting meals.”

Always happens this way with communism. The people hate it and the totalitarians in government have to suppress dissent.

I expect the next few weeks will turn real ugly, and Chavez will be doing some things that will make Danny Glover and other squirm.

The left overlooks massacres on the way to Utopia.

Nary a word of criticism about the millions slaughtered and starved in Soviet Russia and Communist China.

They probably chalk these up to the “few eggs you need to break to make mayonaise”.
