Friend of the left Hugo Chavez has silenced a TV station that was critical of him by not renewing their license, and quickly replaced it with a propaganda channel. Venezuelan citizens were out protesting when the National Guard violently tried to break up the demonstrations. As usual I haven't seen too much about this in the MSM today or a condemnation from Jimmy Carter.

Hollywood are still fawning all over the man according to Fox this morning. This is not unlike what happens in Zimbabwe.

Where is the outrage?

Where is the outrage?

The outrage is held by those not able to live in the country.  Because of Chavez.  He is making it into Cuba II.  The father of my tutoree told me his father cannot even find bread now, and that standing in line for 3 days for toilet paper is not uncommon.

And this in a country that should be a shining beacon to all of SOuth America.

There have been a ton of illegal (and many trying legal channels) immigrants from Venezuela lately.  For the simple reason that while gas may be nineteen cents a gallon, no one can afford a car to put it in, or find food to buy either.  Here's a case where the Bush administration should treat them just as Cubans.  It would not only be hummanitarian, but would tweak Chavez's nose hard!

The other problem with this country is that there were just as many protesters out in support of Chavez as there were in opposition to him . . .

Sounds like he still has lessons to learn from Castro.
