CARACAS, Venezuela – President Hugo Chavez, the fiery populist who declared a socialist revolution in Venezuela, crusaded against U.S. influence and championed a leftist revival across Latin America, died Tuesday at age 58 after a nearly two-year bout with cancer. Vice President Nicolas Maduro, surrounded by other government officials, announced the death in a national television broadcast. He said Chavez died at 4:25 p.m. local time. During more than 14 years in office, Chavez routinely challenged the status quo at home and internationally. He polarized Venezuelans with his confrontational and domineering style, yet was also a masterful communicator and strategist who tapped into Venezuelan nationalism to win broad support, particularly among the poor. Chavez repeatedly proved himself a political survivor. As an army paratroop commander, he led a failed coup in 1992, then was pardoned and elected president in 1998. He survived a coup against his own presidency in 2002 and won re-election two more times. The burly president electrified crowds with his booming voice, often wearing the bright red of his United Socialist Party of Venezuela or the fatigues and red beret of his army days. Before his struggle with cancer, he appeared on television almost daily, talking for hours at a time and often breaking into song of philosophical discourse. Chavez used his country's vast oil wealth to launch social programs that include state-run food markets, new public housing, free health clinics and education programs. Poverty declined during Chavez's presidency amid a historic boom in oil earnings, but critics said he failed to use the windfall of hundreds of billions of dollars to develop the country's economy. Inflation soared and the homicide rate rose to among the highest in the world. Chavez underwent surgery in Cuba in June 2011 to remove what he said was a baseball-size tumor from his pelvic region, and the cancer returned repeatedly over the next 18 months despite more surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He kept secret key details of his illness, including the type of cancer and the precise location of the tumors. Read more: www.foxnews.com/world/201...ad-vp-says/#ixzz2MhsI7B5p

Satan's probably raping him with rusty barb wire right now. Go Satan Go!!!!!!!!!!
The Leftards will probably give him a posthumous Nobel Peace Prize!!
When some dumb bastard hates you for no good reason then give them one, tell them what your political affiliation is!!
Go Satan Go!!!!!!!!!! LOL!
"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave." Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
No. We save the Nobel for folks who like to have 'kill lists' and give themselves the authority to kill their own citizens in their own beds for any reason they deem fit......;} chavez does not qualfy.
Go Satan Go!!!!!!!!!! Wow! what does bush41, cheney, rabbi dov zakheim have to look forward to.....
Actually, he gerrymandered his way to a win the last two elections, and Democrats don't reward people who act like Rethugs. Think again.
Go Satan Go!!!!!!!!!! Wow! what does bush41, cheney, rabbi dov zakheim have to look forward to..... Hopefully the same. Along with Obama, Biden, Holder, etc.

chavez does not qualfy. So what if he had lived longer and we supplied him drones?

They have to do something to help prop up their Ideology, for if they didn't nobody would listen to what they say.. (and wouldn't care for that matter)... Kinda like when they gave it to Obozo, for all his "nobel intentions"!!

How can you gerrymand when the election is for the leader of the whole nation and everyone can vote. You make no sense Mike.
Why do you think the USSA is the only source of drones? Chavez got Venezuela's gold back from the USSA.

Yes. In continuing to believe that NORAD was outwitted by 19 arabs with box cutters who were able to bring down the WTC 7 w/o even hitting it with a plane..... There's a place for them..... ;}
Good question...
I don't, but figured since he was one of Obozo's butt buddies that's where he would get some...

First off.....by nOt doing thiS: March 6, 2013 - There are fears for the life of the last Egyptian detained in the US Guantanamo Bay facility. His health appears to be deteriorating, even as developments in his legal case provide hope that he may one day be released. Authorities are refusing specialist medical treatment, or even to allow his lawyer to view his medical records. Tariq al-Sawah, born in Alexandria in 1957, is not charged with any crime. A previous Egypt Independent investigation told Sawah’s story and pointed to the errors and inconsistencies in leaked US government documents recording allegations against him....
Second: Transferring Venezuelan Gold out of the USSA and back to Venezuela.
The Meaning of Venezuela's Bolivarian Revolution — Greg Albo A FEATURE OF revolutions is that they keep coming around in unexpected ways and in unexpected places. Who would have dared predict the eruption that was Seattle in November 1999, when the powers behind neoliberal globalization seemed completely incontestable? And who would have then predicted—certainly not those sages of the global social justice movement who quite consciously moved to the margins the issue of winning state power as another "failed blueprint"—that Venezuela under Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias would emerge as the key zone insisting that alternatives to neoliberalism must not only be asserted, but tried? Chavez got rid of the CITGO fiasco.....;}
Go Satan Go!!!!!!!!!! Is Satan your hit man? I thought that was God's job, at least on behalf of the Self Chosen Ones.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

Single Payer. Everyone in the village gets a pap smear. no exceptions. Like that. See Cuba infant mortality lowest in the Western Hemi. for details.....;} Another publicity stunt by the Left to show the world how great their ideology isn't!! Wonder how many people in Cuba aren't getting any treatment because all the doctors have gone to Venezuela?? Also wondering if their Healthcare has progressed past the quack stage since I was there last?? (I somehow doubt it)..
When some dumb bastard hates you for no good reason then give them one, tell them what your political affiliation is!!
Child Mortality is a stunt? whoa....Wonder how many people in Cuba aren't getting any treatment because all the doctors have gone to Venezuela?? Excuse me? You really haven't heard that Cuba has sent more Doctors out to the World than the USSA.....;} And that Chavez WENT to Cuba for Treatment.....;}
You support murdering children in the womb. So don't even pretend you care about the well being of children. You don't.
JFC No one murders a fetus in the womb, unless you're talking about drone strikes on wedding Parties.....didn't think so. And BTW. Just exactly WHY would a woman be interested in terminating a pregnancy.... Looking forward to your ignoring this......;} Health Care in the USSA for Neo Natals Non Existant? No, but it's close......8D
And Notice it's ALWAYS men getting on the 'Murder in the Womb' High horse.....;} So let's talk about Health Care for Neo Natals in the Afghans...... how about Iraq. You Do realize that if the USSA had it's way, bush43/Clinton would be doing Fund Raisers ( keeping 90% of the cash;) for Cuba, which would be looking Exactly like Honduras/Haiti now.....;}
Another publicity stunt by the Left to show the world how great their ideology isn't!! Child Mortality is a stunt? You said that I didn't...

Excuse me? You really haven't heard that Cuba has sent more Doctors out to the World than the USSA.....;} Sending "taxpayer paid for doctors" all over the place is nothing but a stunt to "try" to get the sheeple of the world to believe that Communism is a good thing (when anybody with half a brain knows it sux)!! You know I really wonder what the "tax slaves" of Cuba feel about paying for their doctors to treat others instead of their own??
When some dumb bastard hates you for no good reason then give them one, tell them what your political affiliation is!!
Now why in the hell would Chavez go to Cuba to get HealthCare when Castro chased all of the good doctors out of his country back in the 90s??? (Didn't do him much good now did it, he's phucking dead as a doornail)!!
When some dumb bastard hates you for no good reason then give them one, tell them what your political affiliation is!!
