Re: Hugo Chavez Dead
This was posted on Reddit. It was a CNN comment left by a Venezuelan and his thoughts on Hugo's death. It's powerful and pretty much sums it up about Chavez.

Re: Hugo Chavez Dead
???,or do you mean Joe Kennedy? Joseph P. Kennedy II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Venezuela Beginning in 2005, Citgo Petroleum Company (Citgo), a wholly owned subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) — the Venezuelan state-owned oil company — has been the primary donor of heating oil to Citizens Energy. The Wall Street Journal and others criticized Citizens Energy for continuing its relationship with the Venezuelan government and Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, a harsh critic of U.S. President George W. Bush.[42] In response, Kennedy and others[43][44] have argued that it is hypocritical to criticize a non-profit organization for accepting oil from Venezuela while numerous other American businesses are profiting from robust trade with Venezuela and at a time when the U.S. government has cut low-income fuel assistance.[45] During the last two years, Citgo donated eighty-three million gallons of oil, which was used to provide heating assistance to an estimated 200,000 families a year in twenty-three states.[46]

I was in NYC last week and was absolutely SHOCKED when i saw the commercial of Joe Kennedy praising Chavez and the good people of Venezuelan. This was right before Hugo dies so im guessing they just run commercials like that all the time up there? Crazy liberals.

Mmmmmmm, smell the pompous! Evil leaders are still evil leaders. Hitler was a vegetarian, yet his other activities outweigh that effort, for me. I'm sure your flexible moral yardstick has been further warped from extended immersion in the sewer of fraudulent academia. |

Or, put differently, to compare him to Hitler is to insult Hitler's many victims, since Chavez did not do the same. But I am not defending him. For example, in your list above you did not mention how he cozied up to China in particularly galling ways. But let's keep things in context and not over-react. He was no Hitler.
