It didn't help, of course, that BushCo supported the undemocratic coup that briefly removed Chavez from power. If anything, his return to power in the wake of such support gave Chavez street credibility.
Idiots. Just another foreign policy disaster brought to you by BushCo.
BTW, isn't Gadhafi back on our X-mas list? |

I almost wet myself with laughter.
It seems that all you have to do for comedy these days is to follow up on who wins human rights awards or nobel peace/literature prizes. |

Time to trot out the old saw - if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck....
I didn't spew anything on my screen because it's business as usual at the UN.
Now, if I read France via the auspices of the UN was suddenly going to send a division of whatever it is they have (mimes maybe?...miming shooting at evil doers in Iraq?) then I'd wonder if the world had gone Kooky. |

As a human rights activist? Heh. Yeah, right.
MK, this is a bit predictable on your part, I must say.
"Its Bush`s fault".
Of course it is ... its Bush who put it in Chavez`s head to try and turn Venezuela into another Cuba.

Nice non-responsive response. The point stands. You can't retain legitimacy on the democracy question if you are fighting for it in one country and undermining it in another.
Like it or not, Chavez was ELECTED. One problem with democracy is that the US does not always get its way. No, Bush didn't inspire Chavez - he just made his job easier. |

Josef Stalin was elected every time they had an election in the Soviet Union when he was a candidate. In fact, I bet he could have gotten elected even after he was dead, he was such a swell guy. |

Your point`s a vapor point, MK. Its a claim by Chavez, not a fact. But since it fits nicely with your fantasy view of Bush, you naturally buy into it completely. Whatta surprise.

What? Again, why don't you ever respond to the substance. Ok, I will make this easier for you.
1) Was Chavez elected in a fair election? If not, syas who?
2) Did the US express support for those who briefly overthrew him?
Now, I know you won't answer those questions, because you seem to dislike facts. But it felt good writing them. |

Please provide a shred of evidence for this. |

I thought there were voting irregularities in the last election in Venezuela.
Surely if you can believe that we 'appointed' Bush in the election of 2000 you can concede that all did not smell right in Venezuela last time around.
Oddly, that result was completely opposite the findings of an exit poll conducted by a well-regarded polling firm used often by the U.S. Democratic Party, which showed Venezuelan voters booting Chavez by the same 59 percent.
Other exit polls also pointed toward a comfortable recall win.
Try a net search on Venezuela and election 2004 - looks like some people had questions...here's one sample...recent even...

Hey Slugger, "suport" and "attempted to overthow" are two completely different concepts or is that a little too nuanced for you?
Review your previous claims. They`re nonsense. And nonsense normally gets a "non-response" from me.

Sadaam got 100% of the vote when he had 'elections' there back when he still ran the show...
dictators have always had quasi-show elections to gain some sort of legitimacy in corners of the world...
how is that different than what Chavez has perpetrated... and how is supporting his opponents a bad thing??? |
