Well of course Chavez likes Obama. Chavez has always strongly supported socialist leaders like Castro, so why does his support of Obama really surprise anybody?

so castro and chavez like Obama?

hmm. I wonder how that will play over at free republic?

Weaver95: so castro and chavez like Obama?

hmm. I wonder how that will play over at free republic?

Probably about as well as Rush's approval of McCain's torture...

I really do think that Limbaugh is back to snorting drugs.

High Five?

Weaver95: so castro and chavez like Obama?

I imagine "like" would be a huge exaggeration.
"Dislike less" is undoubtedly more accurate.

Chavez hated Bush's guts. He never actually hated America.

steelpeg: Well of course Chavez likes Obama. Chavez has always strongly supported socialist leaders like Castro, so why does his support of Obama really surprise anybody?

As long as the GOP remains this stupid, the Democrats will keep winning national elections, and the Republicans will become even more of a minor regional party in the U.S.

Waever95 what is wrong with drugs?

Dirty Hot Linker: He never actually hated America.

You are funny or delusional.

steelpeg: Well of course Chavez likes Obama. Chavez has always strongly supported socialist leaders like Castro, so why does his support of Obama really surprise anybody?

Because Obama isn't a socialist by any definition of the term, and Chavez has historically reached out only to fellow socialists.

I find it hard to believe anyone was a more vocal critic of the Bush administration than myself.

Are they joining a book club together?

Did I miss something?

"... lay 'em down, smack 'em yak 'em!"

Obama is just kissing up so he can figure out how to get the dictator for life position.

ZOMG!!! A HANDSHAKE??!! OBAMA IZ TEH SOCIALIST ANTICHRIST!!!!11!!

/it must be painful to drip this much stupid.

Obama hasn't committed a coup against Chavez, so already they are off to a better start than Bush.

Did I miss something?

Yes, someone spinning a rush comment.
Rush said that of course torture works since it worked on McCain.

Then some libtard spun it as 'rush approves of mccains torture"

Now now... let's not bring things like "rationality" and "common sense" into a thread about Obama, Chavez, and Castro. They'll get all lonely and possibly die of neglect.

I thought we were calling them "terrorist fist jabs". ED Hill, why have you led me astray?

tenpoundsofcheese: You are funny or delusional.

No, but you definitely are ignorant.

Venezuela has spent a great deal of money on charitable works in the United States. Chavez' regime is nightmarish for the middle and upper classes in Venezuela, but he isn't anti-Washington. He only became hostile after it came out that the CIA was at least somewhat involved in the 2002 coup attempt against him. With the passing of that particular bunch, he has no reason to be hostile to the United States any longer, so long as we don't interfere in his country's internal affairs.

That isn't true, he's reached out to many different styles of government. The US committed a coup against Chavez, and that sort of ruined their relationship.

In before "well Obama's a socialist too, so..."

oh. n/m.

Chavez: "I think you will like this book. It has helped me in ways I can't describe."



Obama: "Everybody Poops?"

Oh yeah a man that HATES America doesn't give oil subsidies for poor Americans

Somewhat involved? The Freedom of Information documents concerning the coup make it quite clear we were involved.

All of the oil companies were asked, and only Chavez said yes. The reason is that the other oil companies are only concerned with profit, while a socialist government allows other considerations.

notq: Obama hasn't committed a coup against Chavez, so already they are off to a better start than Bush.

/April 2002

Let's face it: Chavez was smart. He was able to see what happened to other Central and South American countries that allowed the U.S. into their affairs, and he wanted no part of it. It was the most difficult and courageous move, but it was also the right move.

well that's great to hear that we love the world considering how much foreign aid and low-cost products we give the rest of the planet.

oh wait, they don't see it that way?

My FSM, you are dumb.

glenlivid: I find it hard to believe anyone was a more vocal critic of the Bush administration than myself.

Exactly. The population of the united states thought Bush was a war criminal. The rest of the world thought Bush was a war criminal. Chavez thought Bush was a war criminal.

If anything, Chavez's critique of Bush was a much better representation that our own media's.

how naive are you? don't you understand PR? don't you understand the positioning of "look the US govt doesn't care about the poor people, but I do".

wow, totally amazing.

I believe it's anal leakage.

..grabs popcorn..this is gonna get gooooodd...

Dirty Hot Linker: Chavez hated Bush's guts. He never actually hated America.

Sure, Chavez loves everything about America except freedom and capitalism. You are an idiot.

Then some libtard spun stated the fact that it as "Rush approves of mccains torture in general."

Weaver95: so castro and chavez like Obama?

hmm. I wonder how that will play over at free republic?

The way it should, badly.

notq: All of the oil companies were asked, and only Chavez said yes. The reason is that the other oil companies are only concerned with profit, while a socialist government allows other considerations.

I'm sorry, I forgot. If one doesn't support capitalism in any form, you must hate America. My bad.

is that a teleprompter operation manual?

I wish that was true but it isn't. Chavez still allowed US organizations into Venezuela with a history of undermining democracy.

Bolivia did as well until recently (months ago).

Chavez continued against his best interests to allow the United States into the country.

I disagree with allowing the US in personally, and that's changed over the past several months.

comrades for life yo!

making the world love the US one dictator at a time!

you are stupid or naive or that special combo of both. Do you understand how desperate he is now that oil prices have dropped. Where were you when oil was at $150 and he was bashing the US. Of course he is reaching out now.

second, can't believe that you take a puff piece from Chavez himself as gospel.

Better watch out yo. big O'll go all Carter on his ass.

dick, meet dictator

Does Obama dislike any dictator?

badhatharry: Dirty Hot Linker: Chavez hated Bush's guts. He never actually hated America.

Sure, Chavez loves everything about America except freedom and capitalism. You are an idiot.

He has discussed at length his problems with America. Most of them concern our domination of Latin America, and other countries in the world.

From our assassination of Salvador Allende in Chile, to our death squads in Latin America.

He doesn't have any problem with the countries freedom, or capitalism as it concerns domestic issues.

Only when it involves destroying other countries, particularly Latin America, but not limited to.
