Hello All, How long have we seen actors, actresses, models, politicians, and the news media 'gush' over Hugo Chavez? I'd like to hear how those 'freedom loving' liberals explain their support of this maniacal tyrant now!!! Yes, I would very much like to hear the Hollywood elite, and certain members of the Democrat Party explain themselves now, after Hugo Chavez, in just a few short years (since 1998) has turned Venezuela, a once shining star of South America, into the ugliest reality of the former Soviet Union. "[i]CARACAS, Venezuela: President Hugo Chávez has used his decree powers to carry out a major overhaul of this country's intelligence agencies, provoking a fierce backlash here from human rights groups and legal scholars who say the measures will force citizens to inform on one another to avoid prison terms.... The new law requires people in the country to comply with requests to assist the agencies, secret police or community activist groups loyal to Chávez. Refusal can result in prison terms of two to four years for most people and four to six years for government employees. "We are before a set of measures that are a threat to all of us," said Blanca Rosa Mármol de León, a justice on Venezuela's top court, in a rare public judicial dissent[/i]...." Below is the link from The International Herald Tribune: http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/03/america/03venez.php ___________________________________________________________ "Democratic Socialism is love of the people." These words of Venezuela's President announced the birth of a different world – a just and peaceful world the youth of the entire planet believes is possible.

Help is on the way," the former congressman says in a voiceover while the ad shows him on an oil rig in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. "Heating oil at 40 percent off from our friends at Venezuela and CITGO. Call me at Citizens Energy ..." "No one should be left out in the cold," he concludes." In his letter to Kennedy, Mack wrote: "Sadly, you have chosen to actively participate in [Chavez'] charade even as he continues to attack the United States, our leaders and freedom-loving people everywhere." http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/2/13/73052.shtml ____________________________________________________________ Sean Penn, Cindy Sheehan, Danny Glover, Tim Robbins, Oliver Stone, ... Kevin Spacey, http://scaredmonkeys.com/2007/09/25/how-misguided-can-hollywood-get-actor-kevin-spacey-meets-with-venezuelan-president-hugo-chavez/ Barbara Walters - "Walters even called him “dignified,” “warm” and “friendly” in a recent interview..." http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2007/20070516121424.aspx MARGARET PRESCOD from "Democracy Now"": "Mr. President, on behalf of KPFK, Pacifica Radio in Southern California, welcome to the United States. We have been waiting for this moment"... http://communication-evolution.org/blog/hugo-chavez-vision-the-earths-dream/ Each should be hounded by the American people until they recant their support for this 'thug-tyrant'. [b]What say you? Should the darlings of Hollywood, D.C. and the media be given a pass on their wholly misguided support of this Soviet-styled thug? Or, should they be held to account for their foolish ignorance, designed to curry favor among their fan-bases, constituents, and readers? How can anyone now equate democratic-socialism with anything but repression, oppression, and power-hungry thuggery??? And, does this not prove what I, and many others, have long warned: That socialism in a heirarchical reality cannot help but lead to fascism? [/b]
