No, because everybody (who watches Fox News) knows that liberal, socialist and communist are exactly the same thing.

Which is a main reason I do not watch Fox News.
But I see a number of posters here who think that Conservative, Bigot and Fascist are pretty much the same thing,so it evens out.

The term Elective Dictatorship is a pretty good description of Venezuela: A country where after he is elected a President assumes dictotorial powers . A dictator is a dictator no matter how he comes to power.

I do think the idea that Iran is more humane than the USA is interesting even if obviously wrong.
Maybe he should start a thread just for that?
Oh heck with it. I will.

Not really. Thats an impressively cynical bit of realpolitik. Read what it says rather than what it wants you to feel.

He was such an inspiration, I have had his initials engraved on my bathroom taps.

Can't read everything.
Though I think the best comment I read elsewhere on him was , "hero to the simple-minded left, demon to the simple-minded right"

I think that pretty much covers it.

The socialists are trying to capitalize on Hugo's death by making him a saint-like, messianic figure who worked himself to death for the poor and died for their sins.
Which party are you going to vote for? The one that had a messiah in it or the one that just has normal people?

I'm not eligible to vote in Venezuela so I haven't really been looking at the manifestos.
ETA: Anyway, isn't it typical of the Socialists to leap gleefully and ghoulishly with joy at the death of Hugo Chavez so they can capitalize (And how ironic, eh! CAPITALIZE!!) on his death. I bet they're rubbing their socialist hands with, well, blood probably.

Stupid. A friend of mine works for his administration and he knew he was dying over 2 months ago. That poison sure took its time.
Incidentally, that's how I knew to call it then: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8883592#post8883592
But the dude took longer to croak than my friend thought (who had told me then, "a matter of days, maybe hours"), so now I don't look so cool with my insider knowledge.

I'm sure the funeral will be tasteful and dignified, like those of the Ayatollah Khomeini and Paul Wellstone.

I think that is the best description of him I have yet encountered.

It appears the carcass was displayed in Caracas.
