In terms of historical references, what he's done (and is doing) reminds me more of Mohammed Mossadegh. In fact that may be at least a part of what ties Chavez' Venezuela to Iran these days. The big difference is that Chavez didn't have the opportunity to demonstrate what a strongman he was by formally reneging on any international treaties of consequence. Of course he tries to make up for that with his insulting and hyperbolic rhetoric. - He’s following Hitler’s playbook.

He wants to be another Fidel Castro. Revolution is the only way of life. Which Chavez has tried many times to convince the other South American countries of. If Chavez believes what he says, then it's only a matter of time before he takes over as dictator, the same as Castro. In Hugo Chavez's world, people's rights, elections and free media just gets in the way. Thats no way to run a country. In order to see where a country is headed, look at their closest friends. Does North Korea and Iran ring a bell. It’s easy to see where Hugo Chavez is coming from. He wants to be another Fidel Castro. Revolution is the only way of life.

There's four of us Cartman is retarded, that makes 1/4. I can't imagine how Chavez's supporters think this is a good idea when almost everything he has done has trashed their economy.

We know just how well of a barometer that is.lol The key is just how much control of the military he has. One of the key generals that retired last year was a major roadblock for Chavez. Is he still around and if so does he still have a lot of clout with the current military command??? Chavez cannot gain control with just the police. He tried that the last election and still lost. The key is the military, if he still isn't in total control he will lose this election as well. Did Sean Penn get a “gut feeling”?

What part of this do idiots like Sean Penn, Oliver Stone, and Code Pink not get. Or....Maybe they do get it and they just want to to see freedom and democracy die in America. Nah, that would mean they are traitors and un-American so that can't be true. They just must be fools and dupes. Right?
