Reply #113: I have less to worry about Chavez .... [View All]

I take the other DU Defenders of him at their solemn word that Chavez is mischaracterized by the MSM, and that he is not a dictator-in-training, as depicted .....

It should be noted, however, that those defenders should be held to account if Chavez becomes a bona fide 'Papa Doc' Chavez ..... I see him doing some good for his people, but I am ever wary of any claim to greatness on anyone's behalf ....

As far as the 'Two Minutes Hate' thingy: I have always disliked religious conservatives ... Not just in the last two minutes ..... The fact that the issue is current in the news brings it to the fore, not a desire to participate in a public display of hatred ....

Perhaps someone might be inclined to ignore his 'problems' because the media have made a spectacle of the whole affair, through a concern of being associated with the frenzied mob of declamation ... But would that purposeful ignorance be proper ? .... I don't think it would be proper ....

One could sidestep the mob and STILL recognize the significance of the problem ....
