Okay, I'll restrict it to recent posts supportive of Chavez from this thread: Message 23797016 To: tejek who wrote (338828) 8/15/2007 6:18:18 PM From: Thomas M. Read Replies (2) of 361249 Eyes Wide Shut: The International Media Looks at Venezuela by Mark Weisbrot zmag.org Tom From the Zmag article posted above: So Venezuelans know that there is no "free speech" problem in their country. While there are problems with the rule of law, including street crime - as throughout most of the region - Venezuelans have not suffered a loss of civil liberties under the Chavez government, as we have for example in the United States since 2001. That is one reason why Hugo Chavez was re-elected in December by the largest margin of the 12 most recent Latin American presidential elections, despite facing an opposition-dominated media. Democracy is indeed "very much in force in Venezuela."

The American public lost control of this country a long time ago. Its no longer a true democracy. I posted on this thread that my sister has been asking me about vertigo. It seems that several people where she lives, ranging in age from 20-50, all have experienced vertigo in the pass six months. The doctors are telling them they have a virus. However, my sister is smart enough to know that this vertigo is not acting like any virus. So she asked me if I had heard anything about vertigo. I just laughed. I told her the doctors are lying to these people because they don't know what it is. These people are getting the same kind of doctoring that Dr. Frist gave us when he stated that Terry Schiavo was alive and not a vegetable. Its insane. No one wants to consider that our lifestyle might be giving us vertigo; that our lifestyle maybe contributing to our placement as the 41st country in terms of lifespan. Fageddabodit! We are being lied to in the press, by doctors, by ministers, by our leaders.......people who are in some kind of authority either because they don't have the answer or they have an agenda or they don't give a damn. Consequently, our enemies are figments from the imaginations of our leaders. Bush doesn't like Chavez because he's a leftie. So word goes out to the American media to present Chavez in the worst possible light. Carter tells us the Chavez elections were fair but the media reports exactly the opposite. Its insane.........and I don't know how to stop it. 1984 Message 23879211 To: longnshort who wrote (350159) 9/13/2007 6:10:14 PM From: Thomas M. 1 Recommendation of 361254 Bush is trying to replace the democrat CHAVEZ with a dictator, and those people are trying to thwart Bush by publicly supporting the democrat CHAVEZ. Naturally, you are angry because America can't spread totalitarianism and dictatorship fast enough. Tom
