Hehe, he called Aznar a fascist... how about he look himself in a mirror? Chavez is a fool, Spain has a king that still have some guts

I wonder if anyone here still thinks of Chavez as some kind of hero of the people?

Naomi Campbell is just another on the list of of the braintrust of celebs who has shot herself in the foot. How one acts with respect to state's affairs should be motivated by critical thought applied to state's actions, not by what is fashionable.

fist shes got to find her foot, with her head up her ass, she can't see.

I have always seen the King of Spain as a hero. This adds to that.

Yeah, I still laugh when I watch the video on youtube.

Chavez has been talking about every day since then, seeking to draw attention to it and keep the protests of his people in the streets out of the spotlight.

This is anecdotal, but Ive talked to a few Venezuelans online and have yet to hear from one who supports Chavez. Why isnt this ever in the news? Instead we hear about all the celebs who go down to honor him.

Namoi Campbel
Sean Penn
Harry Belafonte
Kevin Spacey
Danny Glover

The US will produce the equivalent to a Chavez if we get into the same situation, the only way to prevent it is to abolish democracy, or tune the system to produce a large middle class.

I presume thats because many of the people who support Chavez dont have internet.

Why would you presume that? Itd be the opposite if anything. Chavez would allow ONLY people who support him to have internet.

I was thinking more of the level of wealth. Only 12,5% of the people in Venezuale use the internet (source: worldbank). Those are probably the more wealthy who do not benefit as much from Chavez's policies, and are less likely to support him.

Here are some info:

Actually, my very conservative, very antichavez Spanish professor at home says exactly the same thing. He says that the wealthy created Chavez.
You really don't know much about what the on-the-ground situation in Venezuela is like, do you?

Do you really think Chavez has that kind of control?
