Another dictator dead. Good riddance.




If he had been a right-wing dictator, I'm sure the Bush Administration


would have supported him.






He stood for everything you believe in, Krause, except for not paying taxes.

Chavez was not better than any other petty dictator from central and

I just saw that commercial from CITGO? and One of the Kennedys saying that Chavez had supplied numerous poor Americans with furnace oil.
Wonder if your little buddy in Connecticut bellied up to that trough?



Probably, though he wouldn't admit it. Chavez was pretty much like every
other dictator, except he was a leftie. Unfortunately, the United States
has a pretty sordid record in supporting right-wing dictators, and that
support usually ended badly for us.
