What are you talking about? Why do you have to pick fights? Why do you have to denounce your opponents as right-wingers?

Is Chavez above criticism? As I'm sure you know, there are leftists in Venezuela that are critical of Chavez for a number of reasons - does that make them neocons too?

Isn't it awkward walking around with such a huge chip on your shoulder? ****************************************************************************** ****************************************** Me picking up fights? I just posted a simple meeting announcement which got vicious characterizations and personal attacks.(See my next post). What criticisms on Chavez? You are confused. To gratuitously call Chavez a "Stalinist" or even a "Leninist" and to call Church members "useful idiots" is not "criticism" but plain silly name calling. I do welcome critical thought but this ain't. By the way, I am not sure there are Venezuelan leftists critical of Chavez. That'd be interesting, could you please post some of this? I don't have any scintilla of a chip on the shoulder much less a "huge".one.

Thanks for the gratuitous characterization. Cristobal S -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <../attachments/20050909/c999fff6/attachment.htm>
