Talk:Hugo Chávez/Archive1
Why[edit]
Why was my change just reverted? It was balanced, it was backed up with references, and it furthered a less biased view of the subject. Why did you just revert it without explanation? Researcher 21:40, 13 November 2007 (EST)
- Thank you for putting back part of what I said. I have to ask why you didn't include the stuff about him wanting to help poor countries through OPEC, though. Also, where you put the sentence about the government of Venezuela doesn't currently make sense (I'll move it.) Researcher 21:44, 13 November 2007 (EST)
Just for the record: I have a great deal of respect for the man, and was once a supporter. I've since already been disillusioned. Researcher 21:52, 13 November 2007 (EST)
The event where anti-Chavez students were recently fired upon by masked gunmen is bush's fault. A Liberal 18:59, 15 November 2007 (EST)
And that newspaper is run by the CIA. A Liberal
- Look, I know you are supposed to be parodying liberals, but it's a little thick, and a little off target. Besides, aren't the NYTimes and the Washington Post both part of the "liberal media"? Researcher 19:24, 15 November 2007 (EST)
Food shortages[edit]
A friend of mine is from Venezuela he's still got family there. He tells me that food shortages and breakdowns in law and order are the two biggest problems at the moment.--Bobbing up 07:45, 5 December 2007 (EST)
"Democratically elected dictator"[edit]
That's the best definition of Chávez. I support him in some things, but the guy just a little intolerant. --JayJay4ever??? 14:59, 30 May 2008 (EDT)
- He was denied dictator powers by referendum. While he's an attention whore with autocratic tendencies, calling him a "dictator" is not quite correct. EVDebs 02:30, 2 June 2008 (EDT)
- That's why it's in quotes. He was arguably democratically elected, but many "people" refer to him as a "dictator" to attempt to diminish whatever legitimacy the elections confer on his leadership - by lumping him in with the many military and otherwise dictators who have trampled all over Latin America for most of the Cold War. ħuman
