Chavez is not a facist but an idiot.

The second he thinks he has the USA buy the snardlies because of oil, he is a bad ass, seizing corporate assets and teaming up with other badasses.

Then when he looses his advantage he is just a poor boy needing help from big business.

Venezuela is and was a Banana Republic.

Do you see GWB closing down TV stations that do not support him?

However I hear Libs saying "I hope they bring on the Fairness Doctrine and get you off the air."
