Level -> Venezuela and dissent (7/25/2007 7:21:04 PM)
In Venezuela, Speak No Ill of Hugo By JENS ERIK GOULD/CARACASWed Jul 25, 5:05 PM ET Many foreigners can travel to Venezuela without a visa. But now there's a new requirement once they get there. President Hugo Chavez announced on Sunday that foreigners who publicly criticize his government will be deported. He ordered officials to monitor statements made by international figures visiting the country. The comments came after the President of Mexico's ruling conservative party criticized Chavez for seeking to do away with term limits at a recent pro-democracy conference in Caracas. "No foreigner, whoever it is, can come here to attack us," Chavez said. "How long are we going to allow a person, from any country in the world, to come to our own house to say there's a dictatorship here, that the President is a tyrant, and no one does anything about it?"

Attention Bush haters. Take a look at Chavez. He is an actual dictator. And a Leftist to boot. I know this may be tough to understand, but please try.

The best cure for those thinking Bush is a dictator would be to live in N. Korea, China, or Tom Delay's house. I'm not sure I'd classify Chavez as a dictator yet, but he's giving it a good go.

well with the patrion act, national id (may 2008), and the executive orders that he has passed, the police state is coming closer every year google and youtube: rex84

severin, I'd agree that Bush and his dipstick advisors have made some bad moves. It pays to be vigilant. The ID card thing truly bugs me.

severin37 -> RE: Venezuela and dissent (7/25/2007 8:43:38 PM)

Laughing..."Yeah, I ain't no dictator, and to prove it I'm gonna deport your gringo ass if you come to my country callin' me a dictator." Chavez's recent political moves are shocking and dangerous. I really think leftists need to stop apologizing for him. Just because he stands up to Bush doesn't mean he's a good guy. quote: ORIGINAL: Level President Hugo Chavez announced on Sunday that foreigners who publicly criticize his government will be deported.

Man I love the extreme left. You can't talk about Ward Churchill being an academic fraud and hack because he says extreme things about the US and we can't call an evil dictator (or a potential one) that because his country has oil. Next somebody is gonna tell me I can't complain about the welfare trash moving in and destroying my neighborhood because they are members of a minority group... Wait... never mind, too late. I guess Chavez will expect to be denied entry to the US because of what he said at the UN last time. Or am I setting my hopes a bit high?

Lordandmaster: I am curious as to just why what folks do in Venezuela is any of our business? If you piss of the government in this country you get a one way ticket to the gulag at Guantanamo. thompson

Masternslave: Just what are we to try and understand? That the U.S. supports dictators of the right but for some reason dictators of the left are bad? Tell me again why you care about who rules Venezuela and how they might choose to do it. If I remember correctly he was elected to be their president and when the U.S. sponsored a coup to overthrow him the people rose up and reinstated him. The coup plotters ran to the U.S. and bush & co. refuse to extradite those folks to stand trial in Venezuela. thompson
