The US government and the American media dispise Hugo Chavez because Chavez has the courage to speak out publicly against the jews. Simple as that. See paragraph below from Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting or google "Hugo Chavez anti-zionist", for proof of Chavez' anti-semitism and of jewish hatred for him.

It began with a bulletin from the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles (1/4/06) accusing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez of invoking an old anti-Semitic slur. In a Christmas Eve speech, the Center said, Chavez declared that "the world has wealth for all, but some minorities, the descendants of the same people that crucified Christ, have taken over all the wealth of the world."



Which btw, is why I like the Hispanic fellow.
