That's funny. I didn't make any link to any news story or anything. My comment was merely a remark in response to leftists who worship any leftist leader who gets into office.
You can't say that my assertion is false because we have yet to see how long Chavez clings to power.
I'm quite capable of following the news here in Kansas and I reject stupid personal attacks.

Right, and Castro has been subject to many removal attempts. I reject the leftist choir which conflates popular election results and U.S. government opposition with a leader who should be critically supported.
I support the people of Latin America and their efforts to resist American imperialism. But as an anarchist I'm going to speak up in opposition to Chavez and all other leaders like him.
