Hugo Chavez

It's the well-known US propaganda to accuse every opposite regime as violating human rights. He brought up the most democratic constitution in the world. He's democratically elected several times and international observes accepted the fairness of the elections. The media oligopols conspired a coup against him and disonformed the people. They showed a scene as if his soldiers were firing the people but it was proved by the records of an amateur cameraman that some people dressed in soldier dresses opened fire to an empty street over a bridge and the TV cameramans were filming them. The media intentionally conspired against him; prepared a coup; collaborated with the USA agents (this is also proved; the US agent confused the general with whom he would contacted, because he had the same name with the conspiring general and the one he contacted was pro-Chavez!). Despite these faults and the continuing opposition of the media, he didn't censure it.

Dopey? Care to explain HOW, at least?  Do you mean dopey as in it was so obvious that I need not have pointed it out? The man is serving his people, your president is serving the shadowy corporations and lobbies who through him have placed your country in servitude of their vested interests, interests inconsistant with those of your nation and its well being.
