The Folks Are Mad Down in Venezuela Too! Tens of Thousands Hit the Streets Today to Protest the Policies of Socialist "President" Hugo Chavez.



Chavez should enlist his best buddy, Danny Glover, to help out with this mess -- That is, if Glover can tear himself away from blaming America for the Haitian earthquake. As discussed in the more-distant past in this space, the general policy of appeasement that has been pursued by both the W and Obama administrations towards Chavez -- and the fear of ever saying anything "too harsh" about any of the undemocratic actions or words that emanate from that buffoon -- has been pathetic and an ongoing joke for several years now.

And as also previously discussed in this space: To be clear, I do not advocate in any way, shape or form a return to the old Cold War American way of doing things in Central and South America, including myriad CIA involvements in efforts to topple left-wing regimes. All I'm saying is that the American government needs to stop the rhetorical pussyfooting and smiley glad-handing when it comes to Chavez.
