My extended thoughts about Hugo Chavez are posted here.

BUT…

In a written statement directed to Globovision, Chavez said, “They have accused me of fascism. Well, it is they that I accuse of fascism. They are trying to make this seem as if the world has ended. They don’t know, the poor things, that they are the ones being manipulated.”

(emphasis mine). Classic leftist elitism at its best.

Cindy She-hag can manage the new station.

Some boyfriends buy flowers or dinner or whatnot for their lady loves. Dictators close down and reopen tv stations for their private use.

Hope their camera lenses are made of some strong stuff

Chavez refused to renew its license, accusing the channel of “subversive” activities.

Hmmm…who could have seen this coming? I mean, they gave the man absolute power. Who knew it could corrupt absolutely? If only there had been some clue.

Chavez’s reforms, since he assumed the presidency in 1999, have given him greater control over the country’s judiciary, the military and the oil sector.

Reforms?

Hearing the “liberals” cheer the crushing of dissent is actually laugh out loud funny. The irony is impressive, even for moonbats.

Again.

That’s a pretty happy headline you’ve got there, AP.

Whoa! I thought for a minute it was gonna be a HotAir smackdown. Bryan vs. AP.

Wrong AP.\

the people of Venezuala brougth this on themselves by voting in this clown in the first place.

A lesson we (the USA) learned in 2006

“We’ve come here to start a new television with the true face of the people, the face that was hidden, the face that they didn’t allow us to show,” said Roman Chalbaud, a pro-Chavez filmmaker appointed by the government to TVES’ board of directors.”

I think that just about says it all.

The reader who sent the link asks “When will the AP be totally discredited?”

Not soon enough.

You mean they’re not discredited already?!?

Could’ve fooled me!!

… especially after this article. There is an overwhelming majority of Venezualans that are in dissent against this move by Chavez, and the AP is making it look like it’s some kind of grand public works project.

That being said, I more or less agree with Mario Loyola’s post on the Corner - the people of Venezuala brougth this on themselves by voting in this clown in the first place.

But don’t call him a dictator. Bryan makes a good point about the AP here- that’s an awfully happy headline for the forced takeover of a television station…….
