Really? If it's true, then maybe it deserves criticism. Or maybe not. Do you know for sure?
> Last month some one made fun of Ferrnando Botero's art work on US
>Army torture in Iraq.
Really? I missed that. (I'm not doubting you - I just missed it.) How?
Doug Comment: Well, the article on Venezuela titled "Venezuela School for the Poor Controversial", carries gems such as :""Venezuela CARACAS, Venezuela - Large block letters taped above the university entrance spell out "Long Live Socialism." Fliers in the halls promote a workshop on Marxism, and posters exalt the achievements of President Hugo Chavez.
Critics say Bolivarian University, named for independence hero Simon Bolivar, puts more emphasis on ideology than academics.
"We train our students ideologically and politically," said Yamileth Uzcategui Gonzalez, coordinator of political and government studies. "To tell the truth, every university trains ideologically." Comment: I think this speaks for itself. It is the neo-con regular cant that Chavez is just an ideological trouble maker with a fake program of development. The posting on Botero's work Iraq and US torturers took place about 2-3 months ago actually, by some bilious guy called Michael Dawson who quit the list soon after. It is not just a matter of being bilious but biliously anti-left and, in this manner, Dawson is similar to Scott : they claim to defend the left by attacking it.
