This guy tried to ram neo-liberalism up Venezuela's butt.

Chavez put a bullet in the head of FTAA.

People love Chavez and no longer listen to these squalid people.

[pirejknf]

"Why are there still desperately poor people in Venezuela?"

Because it takes a very long time to change an entire country.

Before you for ideological reasons discard Chavez you have to look at how inequal Venezuela was before Chavez.

What a pityfull intervention of Naim. Don´t get me wrong, the guy is one of the most important venezuelans in therms of economy and trade knowledge, but this is just a made speech, with no bases, that is repeated by the whole nation´s opposition in their plot against Chavez. They don´t seem to realize that is exactly because of these mistakes that he keeps 60 o70% of popular support...

Hidup @ Viva Hugo Chavez! The true world leader of people. I pray for you to embrace Islam so you can be the leader - Imam for the whole Muslim.

Chavez did not kill one million people for oil with lies, nor 3000 nuclear weapons pointing to every nation in the world, nor investing 700 billion dollars per year on military expenditures, nor intelligent service agencies sending mails with Anthrax Virus to its own population, nor Kings on its constitution, nor Nazi retarded on CNN or FOX news, nor 13 trillion dollars debt.

i don't get it. You think they're horrible for calling on (who exactly?) to launch a manhunt (you've already backed down from "kill them"), but you're willing to give el comandante a pass for the murdered Venezuelans from the 1992 coup. Why? Why is an incitement to murder by oppositionists, as you allege, unforgivable, but actual murder by Chavez forgivable?

[aes229]

Well, i'm reporting what the Court said at the time. As a matter of fact, the 2002 coup only really began after members of the military high command refused to comply with the Plan Avila order. You can interpret that any way you choose.

[ElFrankus]

I saw him, and others, like capriles, calling to find chavistas every where they could. A MANHUNT!

He didn´t said "Kill them" , but HE DID SAY TO MANHUNT THEM

I saw it that day, and seen it on documentaries and VTV.

I´m sleepy, good night.

[ElFrankus]

It was not an admission of guilt, it was a calling for the OTHER STILL FIGHTING COMANDANTES AND THEIR TROOPS TO STOP THE FIGHT AND SURRENDER! He could have refused. Did you want any more Bloodshed? He didn´t.

"Por ahora" was brilliant, really

[aes229]

find me those clips of Lopez calling on Venevision to find chavistas and kill them. When did i say i loved Lopez doing this thing you said he did? I'm merely skeptical about your claims regarding Lopez, but i'm prepared to believe them if you show me even a little evidence. I don't think even Aporrea can furnish the proof you need here. But if you can, show me.

[ElFrankus]

Plan Avila is like, 50 years old. And is not supposed to involve civilians.

Vacio de poder? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

PULEEEEZE!!!!!!
