Attn: Chavez Fans
September 6th, 2007 | by Craig |Your hero Hugo is running the bolivar into the ground.
Milk, chicken, coffee and flour have disappeared from store shelves in Caracas at times this year.
Quite a man of the people you’ve got there.

Like a trained attack dog, you hate on command. And always, always, you hate the correct people. Chavez’s crime? He doesn’t respect us.

Ya know, the Fed really isn’t that much different…

Jeeze Mark, is there any governments that you deem worthy of disdain as much as you disdain ours?
In a time of historically high oil revenues Chavez has accomplished what no other oil producing country has done: provided food shortages. How much information do you need to decide the guy’s policies are hurting his people?

I think that the big problem here is the idea that Craig post this under ‘wacky left’, a term he generally reserves for Democrats et al and implies that Chaves is our hero.
Godwin!

Godwin? Bullshit. You’re putting words in Craig’s mouth. There are those who are fans of Chavez and if you took that to mean “you” you’re either paranoid, guilty as charged, or narcissistic.
Unless, of course, you’re Mark T - who sometimes seems as though he’s guilty of at least tow out of three.

True, but we’re not having food shortages here.

I believe it was Disraeli who referred to those folks as “cosmopolitan critics,” men who are the friends of every country save there own.
Chavez’s crime is NOT that he doesn’t respect us, but he doesn’t seem to respect the very people who put him in office and claims to want to help. All Mark seems to see or care about, from what I can surmise, is that he’s sufficiently anti-American to attract his adulation, so he must be OK.
The facts on the ground, however, say otherwise.
