Why Chavez Scares Bush (And Conservatives Everywhere)

This excellent Guardian piece lays it all out. Short version: Chavez frightens the élite precisely because, friendship with Castro aside, he can't be dismissed as a wild-eyed ultralefty. Capitalism flourishes side-by-side with his "Bolivarian" efforts at aiding the poor.

Why?

I really dont know. They are soooo similar, they should be good pals instead.

Both are oil plutocrats, both think of themselves as on a god-driven mission, both hate the "arrogant liberals", both hate the media, both have a total disrespect for international law, and both have succeded on divising their countries "aither with me or against me".

Yes, PW. Drive-by posters would at least pass the laugh test if they would refrain from making unsustainable, unlinked, broad-brush allegations.

Chavez is an "oil plutocrat"?

So... what company does he own?

Chavez has a "total disrespect for international law"?

Like... what countries has he invaded lately?

Taking the time for a spell check also helps persuade the reader that one isn't posting while impaired. Or worse, not impaired but posting really, really silly things.
