Elsewhere online, more than 80,000 people have joined a Facebook group, "Chavez estas PONCHAO!" taunting the increasingly unpopular president with a slang term meaning "Chavez, you struck out."

Chavez has fought back by declaring that "using Twitter, the Internet (and) text messaging" to criticize or oppose his increasingly authoritarian regime "is terrorism," a comment that recalls the looming threats of his allies in Iran, whose bloody crackdown on physical and electronic dissent may be blazing a trail for the Latin strongman.

So 80K paid fascists join a facebook group. Big deal. And they are terrorists, they tried to overthrow Chavez in 2002, so screw them.

Rumores, fears, terrorism. Nasty people, instead of using the formal process of using a recall going around talking behind his back to destabilize the country.

Shouldn't do that, apparently.

Eh. Some are conspiracy theorists (here defined as having nearly no data but lots of suspicions, and a shifting goal and argument so that the theory's not falsifiable).

Some are opposition members.
