If anything, Chavez definitely has people guessing about the man he was.

I will admit, while I don't like his brand of politics, he had ballz.

In fact, he was apparently such a good "Robbin' Hood" that he managed to accumulate a family fortune of about 2 BILLION dollars, according to some reports!

Lightbulb Hugo Chavez: Hero or Villain?

Totally a matter of perspective, isn't it?

Sounds familiar. Except our guy promotes class envy inhouse.

No one ever seems to care about the middle class. Pretend to be on the side of the poor though and you're golden. The poor are not more important than the middle class.

Odd how easily people will fall for charisma and lies. Chavez had a big nasty mouth, was into name calling, and now that mouth is shut for good.

Default Right On Que.

Just as expected, Comrade Sean Penn and Comrade Oliver Stone expressed their sorrow at his passing and spoke words of praise not long ago.

American foreign policy is ALWAYS Imperial no matter who sits in the White house.
This coming from a canuck? LOL. Who do you think colonized your country? Oh wait France wasn't empire building never mind. You should thank them for putting you in a place where there is so much syrup.

WHO SAYS Chavez stole this money? The American RWNJ media!!!!

This claim is conspicious for the complete and total lack of any kind of proofs, links or anything else.

The RWNJs project this crap on anyone they don't like and do you know why they do it 100% of the time?

They do it because they know with perfect assurance that if they, the RWNJs were in Chavez's position they would grab as much loot as is possible to grab. Loot grabbing is as much a core of the RWNJ thinking as cutting taxes for their 1% paymasters is.

If Chavez was as interested n self inrichment as these idiots say he was they WHY would he waste tens of millions of dollars helping "Poor Americans" with their heating bills. He just wouldn't at all.

The RWMJs have a scifi, pie in the sky narrative for everything it seems. I suggest they come up with some excuse for why they are such friggin idiots. "We can't help it we "were born this way".
"It's the cosmic rays, they are destroying our IQ. It has reduced a normal RWHJs IQ from it's normal level of 80 down to 60."

They really don't need any excuses except the one they use.
We are nuts, crazy, incompetent, visious, perverted and all the other things we are because the DEMOCRATS make us this way!!!!
