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 -

[MrB]

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

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

Duh.

[Sleeping Beauty]

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.

[all the best]

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

[stinkerpot65]

Two words: Fairness Doctrine.

[Jaysun]

Paradise indeed.

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.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

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

[af_vet_rr]

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.

[Always Right]

Leftwing communist regimes just always have bad luck in picking their leaders. Commies are about 100 for 100 in picking evil ruthless dictators. If only liberals could find that one honest commie leader that would lead them to the promise land.

“the government of Venezuela continues to use tear gas and rubber bullets against tens of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators...”

That George Bush really is a rascally fellow, isn’t he? He obviously put these demonstrators up to it.

[BenLurkin]

Attention Los Angeles Times:

That's "tens of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators in the streets of Caracas."

[BenLurkin]

Chavez said capitalism propagates "excessive consumerism, strife and enslavement."

Which he intends to replace with: poverty, repression and enslavement.

[sergeantdave]

“Adan Chavez said capitalism propagates “excessive consumerism...”

Al “Commie” Gore should like this. Maybe he can run down there with a flamethrower and burn a few protesters into carbon.

Chavez Takes on Opponents in Streets of Caracas

[Fishrrman]

Calling for the "Chilean solution" here....

Paging General Pinochet.....

Rubber bullets eh?
So the leftisits at McCarthur Park in L.A. want to sue the L.A.P.D. while our idiot mayor is on his knees pleading for forgiveness from the illegals for using rubber bullets- meanwhile Chavez fires rubber bullets over there and it’s “OK”.

BTW, Chavez’ fingerprints are all over the illegal marches here.
