I used to get this news letter called School of the Americas watch which said all sorts of terrible things about the U.S. training military personel to impose control over south American countries, oust any leaders they didn't like, and basically impose military rule. I never really looked into it, but if it is even remotely true then I can see why they love this guy.
The people in Venezuela luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv this guy!

How long till the US starts bleating on about rigged elections?
Any statements on this from the White House yet?
Originally posted by no1marauderI do too. As long as he does not move in next door to me. 'Lil too much bluster for my peaceful neighborhood. I think he would ruin the quaintness here in Detroilet.

Originally posted by badmoonBeing a "man of peace" does not make one above critisism or insult. He should be afforded no more protections from ritual lampooning than you feel Bush is entitled too. That's what the 1st ammendment is for.

Personally, I feel that Washington and Lincoln are the 2 most important men in Americas history, but I welcome any and all wooden teeth or silly hat jokes. heck, you can even make polio jokes as long as they're directed toward FDR.
Approving insult of one President while claiming another should have some sort of blanket protection is nothing more than political hacksmanship.
Originally posted by RedmikeThat's a very good question. And yes, it would have more significance if he was there observing. Not much though, I doubt any one observing could really be expected to know what is going on at every polling stating.

And it doesn't matter if it was rigged or not, (I personally doubt it was) because it doesn't change the fact that Chavez is the President.
