Hugo Chavez:Intoxicating::Oliver Stone:Sane Person
So, Oliver Stone has found a great man in Hugo Chavez where so many others have failed. Apparently, Mr. Chavez will be playing the role of Castro for the next 50 years, unless we get lucky and he dies sooner than that.
For a man that continually speaks out against the country he enjoys quite a bit of freedom in (let’s just say he wouldn’t be alive long to deride Chavez and laud the US if he lived in Venezuela), all it takes is a little brutal dictatorial murder and communism to get him all greased up. Who knew?
Personally, I love it when rogue nations throw their oil weight around in an attempt to bully the US into something they haven’t mentioned yet. Especially when they sign on with the heart of darkness over in Iran, and invite war games with the Soviet-Un…. Russia. Why does that sound so familiar? Oh yeah, Cuba. I guess the sequel fetish in Hollywood hasn’t quite died out yet.
Is it so hard to notice that he is a huge sponsor of FARC, an international terror outfit? He doesn’t even hide his resentment for this country, claiming to smell sulfur when standing where Bush did days earlier. I assume liberals want to believe that Chavez only detests the soon to be former President, but these are the same people who think terrorism is cancelled because Obama got elected.
Thing is, we stand between him and ultimate power in the region for as long as he lives. Like all dictators, he will not stop until he dies. The only thing he wants is power, and don’t think for a moment he wouldn’t pull the trigger on any of you if you were in his way. The alternative is damning an entire people to the same squalid existence as Cubans for 50 years. Please, no.
