In reply to the discussion: How can so many people on a "progressive" board want the right-wing to take over in Venezuela? [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)The official Bi-Partisan position is that Chavez is/was illegitimate.
His government, and the populist reforms spreading across Latin America
are demonized by the leadership of both the Republican AND The Democrats.
Hillary and John Kerry are some of the worst Venezuela/Chavez bashers.
Aid and Support for the few remaining Right Wing Death Squad Governments
is the official policy of BOTH the Republican Party AND the Democratic Party.
Colombia (Right Wing Death Squad Human Rights Violator government of the 1%),
in addition to being the 3rd Largest Recipient of US Foreign Aid,
was recently rewarded with a Brand New "Free Trade" agreement by the Obama Administration.
For some here, embracing the transparent, popular social democracies emerging in Latin America
is to Hate Obama.
...and they say bad things about OUR High School,
and, right or wrong, NOBODY gets away with THAT!
A few cruise missiles will teach them to hold their mouths!
USA! USA! USA!
