[lbo-talk] NYT: Chavez loses, 51% to 49%; Chavez does concede on TV

[John Thornton]

No, but one of the issues was removal of term limits so that if the 
VENEZUELANS wanted Chavez to serve a third or even fourth term he would 
be able to do so.
Really, unless you swallow the anti-Chavez propaganda whole, there is no 
reason not to accept this at face value.
Please show me where he ever makes the claim that he desires to be 
President for life. If you cannot show this then the claim is a 
fictional smear.

I thought anarchists were supposed to be able to see through state 
propaganda clearly?

I don't celebrate Thanksgiving any more than I would celebrate 
kristallnacht.
