Yes, she hates Bush and this country enough to give air time to one of its enemies. His own country doesn’t allow this type of press, but we do so let’s parade him on network television. We have people fighting and dying to protect his freedom too I guess?

Little Caesar, you are a coward and a thug. Barbara Walters, you too are disgusting.

Shame on Barbara Walters. So Hooogo wanted to say to the American citizens “He loves MLK. MLK’s dream is Hooogo’s dream is our dream blah blah blah.” A good follow up question might have been, “what is the most essential element of MLK’s dream?” I guarantee he wouldn’t know what to say… and I wouldn’t really care. I just have a suspicion that someone is advising him on what to say and I want to find out who that is. Someone who knows politics in America well advised him to say something as P.C. as possible. Say something that nobody will want to disagree with and force the less academically inclined amongst the American citizens to say “geee that was really nice to hear. Hooogo’s not that bad a guy.” Whoever is doing this is a traitor and a treasonist. My guess is that whoever is doing this has the last name Kennedy. In MA we I see the whole “Joe for Oil” commercial campaign that is going on and that makes me sick. We know Teddy’s past with the Commies. It fits together like a puzzle.

Chavez only proves more and more Bush 41’s words to Larry King about him when he talks like this.

Is that really Barbara Walters? I can’t see through all the haze.

Her camera crew used to use soft focus on her camera.

Now they just mash a pastrami sandwich on the lens before they start filming.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

isn’t a dictator.
Nonfactor on March 18, 2007 at 7:50 PM

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and defend Nonfactor. He’s right of course, Hugo is NOT not a dictator, after all, he’s still solidifying his dictatorial grasp. Let’s say he’s a dictator-in-progress…

“Would you give a message to the American people in English?”

I have a message I could give to Chavez using only one finger.

I am convinced that all of the so called MSM “reporters” must be banned from talking to leaders outside of the US. They have proven that they make us all appear to be ignorant, childish egotists.

Stop them!!!

Barbara who? Oh, yes, the one who support O’Donnell and her propaganda on the “View”. Yes, I remember now, the one that I made a decision not to watch or discuss, and to avoid any of her sponsors that I happen to find out about.

But then I don’t pay attention to the one who sponsored O’Donnell to such a degree that her name is becoming such an old memory that only her ancient image (yes, she really is that old, you know, like Helen Thomas) brings a faded memory back to life – briefly.

barbara walters truly has her priorities mixed up. I’ve not liked her for a LONG time due to this issue. She came out in public on THE VIEW trashing a poor mother who’s baby was crying for food for breastfeeding on a plane..oh yes let’s let the poor baby starve..how DARE that mother feed her baby naturally..and the bitch ridiculed her in public! I will never forgive her for that….

Then she goes on to say she won’t interview simpson because it’s unethical yet she’ll interview chavez who wants our destruction?

I don’t care if it’s wrong to say..but yes, bawbawa you are a bitch!

He’s not a dictator.

Nonfactor on March 18, 2007 at 7:49 PM

Thanks for clearing that up, NF, ’cause I thought he was!
Thanks to you, I see Chavez as a ….well a guy who just kinda says things and those things become laws.
Not a dictator!
Not a man who dictates.
Thanx again NF!

Chavez says he loves the American people, but hates its administration. Well, that’s not news, the Democrats are braying the same thing everyday.

Also, wasn’t it the Democrats who, not long ago, were accusing the Republicans that they never met a dictator they didn’t like? But now, the Democrats are having a love-fest with them. What’s changed their way of thinking?

Well, let’s just say the Democrats find soul-brothers in those who hate America, and they are seeking guidance from them.

Isn’t that what Rather, Wallace, Walters, and a myriad of reporters and congressmen were doing when they went to Syria, Iran and other Middle Eastern countries?

Only in America it’s possible to ‘glorify’ a Barbara Walters.

Chavez is not a dictator, like Nonfactor is a factor.

He thinks he can win an election against Bush in America?!?!?!

Unfortunately in California or El Paso, TX he probably could win a congressional race for the House. He can have Maxine Waters district.

Is it just me, or does the MSM love cuddling up to any tyrant, war-monger, dictator, president-for-life they can get next to?

thedecider on March 18, 2007 at 10:25 PM

It isn’t just you–the enemedia (and the rest of the leftists) can’t get enough of cozying up to tyrants. The same people who accuse Bush of being a dictator can’t get their heads far enough up Castro’s or Chavez’ ass, while congratulating themselves on how much they care about “human rights”. This is why the term “liberal hypocrisy” is redundant.

Let’s face it: Barabara Walters is a dimwit. She should be mocked without mercy. The respect accorded her is not justified. She is using her position to be an enabler of left wing propaganda.

Phil Byler on March 18, 2007 at 8:16 PM

If this is truly a trait of Barbara Walters, then perhaps we can understand why Rosie O’Donnel, Joy Behar, and third uninformed, misguided left wing, liberal, fifth columnist View member are all spewing their pabulum on “The View” while Elizabeth H gets clobbered on the show, people interrupt her, talk over her, shout above her, and speak in a condescending manner toward her, and why the three other View participants are always attacking things many of us hold dear, and while “The View” audience claps in unison, cheering, agreeing with, and praising the “Three Oracles.”

This reminds me of that love-in between Mike Wallace and Ahmadummyjerk (spelling might be a wee bit off). Who cares what his message for America might be? Nothing he has to say is of any meaningful value. And, how cliche’. Like MLK quotes haven’t been done to death already by every *sswipe looking to portray themselves as sincere or likeable.

It appears that Barbara Walters and Hugo Chavez had this “speech” prepared. Near the end of the clip Chavez appears to be reading from something.

True, true. Perhaps Stalin would be more apropos.

SouthernDem on March 18, 2007 at 9:43 PM

Ideologically, most definitely (although Adolf and Hugo share quite a few traits there as well), but not so much when it comes to rise to power.

All Hugo’s missing there is a Reichstag fire, otherwise the analogy is pretty much perfect.
