so I figured that I should be the one to tell you.

Don't believe me?

Well...

Name one world leader who has done all of these things in the last 5 years other than Hugo Chavez.

If you don't agree, answer these five questions and tell me what one person has done all those things on a global scale?

______________________________________________________

In the last five years...

Who else has stood up and damanded to have the same time as Bush?

Who else has been heroically applauded by the world's diplomats for eviscerating Bush at the UN?

Who else has stood up to the big oil companies and said NO?

Who else has been offering a beautiful and glorious religous voice to the left?

Who else has had the nerve to call Bushco and the United States out for being an empire of terrorism, not back down once?


____________________________________

Hugo Chavez is the only political leader on Earth to do all those things.

I'm telling you, if you disagree, you just don't know Chavez.




Here is Chavez's recent interview with Ted Koppel

By the way props to Ted Koppel for even doing the interview in the first place. It could have been better but Chavez steals the show anyway.

Chavez:

I've been in revolt for years against ignominy, against injustice, against inequality, against immorality, against the exploitation of human beings.

One of the greatest rebels, who I really admire: Christ. He was a rebel. He ended up being crucified. He was a great rebel. He rebelled against the established power that subjugated. That is what rebellion is; it's rebellion out of love for human beings. In truth, that is the cause, the cause of love: love for every human being, for every women, for every child, for every man, for every brother.

I believe you to be a brother. I don't see you as above or below. I don't feel superior or inferior to you. We're on an equal basis. Your cameraman, your photograph are equal. The men and women who are seeing you, who are seeing us are equal. They're true brothers.

(snip)

We love the people of the United States, and our desire is to have a world of brothers in peace. God grant that that be the case.



*************************************************
If you dislike Chavez's references to Christianity, let me ask you, did it both you when Martin Luther King referred to god?

Just asking.

OR HERE:

Hugo Chavez eviscerates Bush at the UN, gets cheering and applause from all the world diplomats!

It is the best article ever!

I love Hugo Chavez!

Enjoy every truthful word!

Please nominate this, I want to get the word out on Chavez. Unfortunately, the USA has been brainwashed into thinking that Latin America is only contribution to world politics can be criminals and dictators. I think that is repulsive and vile, it should stop.

So please, have an open mind, and give Chavez a chance you won't be sorry.

PS, sorry that is kind of a repost, but I'm on a mission.
