Chomsky = Coffee-table intellectual
Bush = Not worth wasting your time on, unless you happen to have serious problems at home, because Bush is an easy target and we all know that policy or decision does not flow from him...
Ever spend any time wandering Caracas people? I have.
I'd suggest Senor Chavez would do well to actually concentrate on the homefront...
attack them at their core dogmas
why is this wrong?
why are you the power that passes judgement?
how high and wide will this wave of revolt reach?
grow your own and avoid capitalism
Congressman Charles Rangel who for 35 years has represented Harlem in the U.S. house of representatives said of Chavez:
I want to express my extreme displeasure with statements by the President of Venezuela attacking U.S. President George Bush in such a personal and disparaging way during his remarks at the United Nations General Assembly.
It should be clear to all heads of government that criticism of Bush Administration policies, either domestic or foreign, does not entitle them to attack the President personally.
George Bush is the president of the United States and represents the entire country. Any demeaning or public attacks against him are viewed by Republicans, Democrats, and all Americans as an attack on all of us.
I feel that I must speak out now since the Venezuelan government has been instrumental in providing oil at discounted prices to people in low income communities who have suffered increases in rent as heating oil prices have risen sharply. By offering this benefit to people in need, Venezuela has won many friends in poor communities of New York and other states. I am surprised that American oil companies have not stepped up to provide that kind of assistance to the poor.
