Why BushCo want Chavez dead!!!
Chavez helped pay Argentina’s debt to the IMF he must be stopped before Chavez pays off other surrounding nations debt's and gets them out from under the thumb of the IMF & the World Bank, the WB is furious, so Chavez must die!
Chavez also makes American oil companies pay their fair share of taxes in Venezuela...so he must die.
Chavez sells oil cheaply to the poor, and "third world" countries, so he must die.
Chavez defies the oil company's controlled collusion of oil flow, so he must die.
Venezuela is trying to get a seat on the UN Security Council to have (up till now) a strong Latin American voice, so Chavez must die.
Chavez was legally elected, so he must die.
Chavez mocks Bush, so he must die.
Chavez offered cheap oil to poor Americans for heating, and wanted to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, so he must die.
Venezuela's economy is booming & inflation is low, so he must die.
Venezuela sits on huge oil reserves that the oil companies want for themselves, so Chavez must die.
Chavez has threatened to go the euro-petro instead of the US dollar, so he must die.
Chavez has avoided assassination attempts by the US & made them look bad, so he must die.
Other countries may want to invest in Venezuela's economy, that the imperialist (BushCo) don't approve of, so he must die.
Chavez wants to defend Venezuela from "outside" influence & imperialism, so he must die.
Chavez is beloved by the poor & working class in Venezuela, so he must die.
Chavez has said: "I am a Catholic and a Christian and a very committed Christian", so he must die.
Venezuela wants to Prohibit Transgenic Crops, it'll help the people’s health & the small farmers, so Chavez must die.
Chavez is a progressive liberal, so he must die?
Viva Hugo Chavez! Bravo!!
Of course the regressive neocon Bush hates Chavez & ALL liberal progressive ideology....Chavez it seems to me is hundred times better than Bush's sick, greedy, oppressive regime, BushCo discouraging and intimidating opponents of free speech, even if one wears a tee shirt they don't like, BushCo hates any dissent and has government agencies investigate anyone who exercises their right to dissent... Stifling newspaper & media from reporting the truth calling them unpatriotic & treasonous if they disagree with Bush, eavesdropping on US citizens, lying to go to war, insensitive republican asshole, as our kids die. Bush refuses to obey any laws he doesn't want to...does NOT support the Constitution, constantly finding new ways to subvert it for his ideological neocon corporate agenda believes in torturing prisoners & has left that option open even though congress & the courts said it's illegal, has broken every US treaty in the world, hates the poor and the workers, middle class, is an environmental disaster all for corporate profit...Bush is the war-mongering pig of ALL fascist war for profit (oil) pigs.
BushCo lies about everything!! Tell me just one truth you think he's ever said and I'll rip it to shreds!!!! Bush/Cheney/Rove are the most evil, wicked, sick, greedy, lying imperialistic regime on the face on the earth!!!
In 1997, the year before Chávez's election, 55.6 percent of Venezuelan households and almost 61 percent of Venezuelan citizens lived beneath the poverty line. At the end of last year, those numbers were down to 37.9 and 43.7 percent, respectively. That's a major improvement... This, however, does not really capture the changes in the living standards of the poor in Venezuela, since there have been major changes in non-cash benefits and services in the last few years.
Professor Corrales goes on to say: More damning for the Chávez-as-Robin Hood theory, the poor do not support him en masse. Most polls reveal that at least 30 percent of the poor, sometimes even more, disapprove of Chávez." Which is also to say that 70 percent of the poor majority do approve of Chávez. That makes sense given that he won 59 percent of the vote in the recall election.
In any case, there is no way that a truly liberal news source would have published an article attacking Chavez. Any Leftie with half a brain knows that Chávez is an enormous advance over who normally leads in Latin America."
First off, the fact that Bush has done everything the author accuses Chávez of doing doesn't make it right.
Second, thanks to the person who posted the info on where the author is coming from: I suspected as much. Interesting that he is a prof at Amherst, a very liberal arts college. Likely they keep his likes around for the same reason AlterNet posted this thing, along with Palast's piece: they believe in variety, in giving the opposition a voice occasionally.
Truth be told, I'd rather the US didn't import any oil whatsoever - that we developed an independent energy system that shut out all the oil importers from the Saudi princes to the Nigerian military governors to , yes, even Hugo Chavez. They'd do okay - and we need to slow the rate of global warming, as well as build a good domestic energy infrastructure based on long-term renewables like solar, wind and biofuels.
100% - why should we give our hard-earned US dollars to foreign tyrants! Let's roll with renewable!
Viva Chavez!
Yes, Bush and his war mongering, & imperialism certainly is the "devil"...But, I always knew this!!
