President Chavez Praises Carlos "the Jackal"

Yes, well, the media can’t ignore what Hollywood celebs have to say, no matter what the topic. That’s just how it is.

Wait a second - are you calling Sam Stone a troll? I doubt it, somehow. Maybe you intended your words as a response to someone else’s post.

And that’s a shame. Just wish there was more of an outlet to point out just how cretinous Sean Penn and his ilk are.

Hugo is keeping up his South American anti-capitalist cred. The fact that Carlos is Venezuelan is no doubt significant.

You do have that option.

My best friend’s wife is a native Venezualan. In her family’s view, Chavez has basically destroyed their country. All of them are looking for a way to emigrate out of their land of birth, simply because it is unsafe and (they think) getting worse.

Yes, I think he matters.

Venezuelans are divided about him. He claims to have brought social programs to the poor, raising literacy, providing health care, schooling and soup kitchens to feed the poor. But he did at the expense of the fabulously wealthy who are not happy .You can claim he is a disaster if you wish, but the truth as usual is nearer the middle.
