This whole pro-corporate US oil company propaganda Anti-Chavez bit is STUPID.
Not only do quite a few of you know better then to buy that crap it is dumb as hell to isolate him, yay, lets force him into the arms of Putin of other unsavory characters that really are our enemies.
dumb dumb dumb, and you guys eat it up hook line and sinker.
If he actually killed anyone, oppressed his people or media then fine, bash him, call him a dictator, whatever.
But in reality he has helped his people, helped poor people here in the USA, and besides being a dick to bush done nothing but try to hold his shit together and help out the common man (and is wildly popular in his country unlike our president we have had for 8 years.)
Give it a rest, you guys sound like exxon lackeys.
