This Is Who They Want To Emulate...

TV channel critical of Chavez is dropped

Caracas, Venezuela (CNN) -- Venezuelan cable television providers dropped a channel Sunday that has been critical of President Hugo Chavez, citing violation of broadcast laws.

Radio Caracas Television, which lost its broadcasting license in 2007 and became a cable-only channel, disappeared shortly after midnight on Saturday.

Isn't Venezuela one of those countries the Progressives are always telling us we should aspire to become more like? They've got national health care, government-controlled banks; and governmental oversight of big business, three things the liberals are constantly pushing for here in the US. Hugo Chavez is widely supported by Democrats, pointing to Citgo's support of Citizen's Energy as evidence of Venezuela's largesse. Jimmy Carter fell over himself rubber-stamping Chavez's win over being recalled in spite of evidence there was vote-rigging by Chavez.

Funny how the suppression of dissent tends to get overlooked in the glowing reviews of the Chavez regime...

That is all.

It's envy. All those things are what the Democrats would like to do here, but can't because we still have elections.

And guns.

Which is why they want to steal the former and, well, come to think of it, steal the latter too.

For the Left Suppression of dissent is a feature not a bug jay. Remember, Fox isn't "real news" according to the Obama administration.

Chavez needs to stop a bullet with his face. (pretty much like all evil commies. Barry being the exception to the rule)
