Glenn Beck is a dick :D

Typical lib. Attack the messenger, but never the message. That's why libs are soooo smart!

[Agnapostate]

Not only is the "Chavez as dictator" propaganda tiresome, stale, and simply inaccurate, it's ironic that Beck would refer to government functions that necessarily uphold capitalism. For instance, welfare functions to maintain the physical efficiency of the workforce and thus maintain capitalism. Ironically, the liberal democratic capitalism that Beck attacks is a greater foe of socialism than rightist Anglo-Saxon capitalism.

So you don't think shutting down opposition television stations to silence dissent and wanting to be dictator of Venezuela for life dictatorial? Get a clue.

[Agnapostate]

Please inform yourself about this matter more thoroughly. RCTV was not "shut down" (and in fact is still broadcast on a cable network), rather, their license was not renewed because they openly supported and endorsed the 2002 anti-democratic coup against President Chavez. If such an act had been committed here, the owners of the station would likely have been imprisoned. In comparison, a failure to renew a license five years after the fact seems rather mild.

[Conservative1001BG]

Wow. So he's a dictator AND a hypocrite? Chavez was involved in the 1992 Venezuelan coup to overthrow Perez, then later on pardoned. But when the people try to overthrow him, he wants them to shutup for good. Sounds like a typical leftist to me.

Glen Beck's underwear is red, white, and blue and full of shit.

Down with plutocracy.

Chavez Lost the term limit law proposal.

Chavez is what liberals in the US should be.

[Agnapostate]

@TheAntonioOcana "Educated extreme liberals in the US"? I am an anarcho-communist; my maternal family is from Central America, and they saw the consequences of CIA intervention in Guatemala after the democratically elected government of Arbenz was removed. Why should your anecdotal claims be accepted over statistical evidence?

[TheAntonioOcana]

@Agnapostate okay look, I am definitely a democrat, people with a lot of money need to quit being so self absorbed, taxes need to be raised in a lot of areas, especially for those who generate millions, BUT I live in south america, i know Chavez is a dictator, I have been to Venezuela, you educated extreme liberals sit in the US and read books that promise paradise, but that is not what is happening, I have also been to Cuba, Cuba is not paradise, kids don't have shoes, be careful what you wish

[eboyd32]

@TheAntonioOcana ok, fair enough. i've never been and so i have no clue. all i know is that while America is one of the more well-off nations in the world in terms of its entire population, mainly because of its imperialistic nature and dependence on the resources of other nations, it employs a system in which a wealthy minority make obscene amounts of money in comparison to those that do real labor for them. i just wonder then how Chavez gets majority votes if 95% are worse off.

[TheAntonioOcana]

@eboyd32 I live in Colombia and have been to Caracas, I can't compare it to anything before 2009, but i have seen it first hand. Many of the poorest of the poor really feel for him, but the living conditions for over 95% of the population have been drastically reduced, as I have many friends from Venezuela as well, who have moved here to Colombia

[eboyd32]

@TheAntonioOcana are you speaking from personal knowledge, as in have you been there and seen and experienced it? i mean Venezuela has always been an impoverished country anyways, so if it has improved since 1999 then that doesn't count. but i am not speaking from personal experience. rather i am speaking from having listened to lower class citizens in documentaries of Venezuela who seem to feel that their situation has greatly improved since Chavez' first election.

[TheAntonioOcana]

@eboyd32 Chavez doesn't help the poor, the situation is bad there, people can't even eat

[TheAntonioOcana]

@hotdude23 c'mon man, he is definitly the worst, but you sound just as bad and make people that share your opinion seem just as ignorant as he is, your words are your weapons, use them wisely
