1. Unjust government?

Are you trying to argue that there was a more legitimate government, a safer atmosphere in Venezuela, and more economic fairness before the Chavez regime? Maybe for the top 1%, but certainly not for the bottom 99%

I'm not saying this is a good, smart, ethical, effective government today. Clearly it is not. But this video sounds a lot like the right wing propaganda the 1% shoves down our throats here.

3. Well

We have a president who was born in Cucuta (Colombia), military that was brought to Venezuela from Cuba. Is you think that is legit... then, nothing else to say. I am not here to change minds. I am here, to share what is going on in my country. I am grateful for those who seem to be helping, at least denouncing what is going on there and asking for resolution. The green gas , expired tear gas, that the police threw several days ago , is a "bunch of crap" too, right? I have family who lives in the area, and they were affected by that gas. So , is that legit? Believe what you want to believe. As a Venezuelan, I feel the pain that my country is experiencing and as the regimen has silenced the press, then I will use whatever means are available to let the world know what is going on.

4. I repeat, what a load of crap !!!!

You sound like the lying teabaggers that have infested the U.S government.

You are not trying to let the world know what is going on.

You are spreading lies and right wing propaganda.

The party you support LOST the election.

Now you want to overthrow the government.

5. I'd say a load of crap

is promoting venezuelanalysis.com -- a known Venezuelan government propaganda site -- as an unbiased reporting source.

7. So you think Maduro was born in Colombia ?

So you think the election was stolen ?

Are you also one of those people who think Obama was born in Kenya ?

Are you also one of those people that didn't know Hawaii was part of the United States ?

You right wingers are really something else.

Did you even watch the interview I posted ?

I guess you hate Al Jazeera America too ????

Let me take a guess, NO.

9. I guess you didn't know venezuelanalysis is a Venezuelan government propaganda site

and I suggest in the future you refrain from the hysterical namecalling.

10. so, you posted from a government funded website, with Al Jazheera interviewing a chavista

It would be like interviewing one of the DU chavistas on what they think of chavez. stupid

11. What makes you so sure?

Have you ever been to Venezuela? Do you ever speak to people that actually live there?

... than someone who is actually Venezuelan and has actually lived in the country and has friends and family still living there. I should introduce you to some of my friends who aren't rich at all and have actually been participating non-stop in the protests. I'm sure you're curious to know what they have to say about the whole situation and what they think about being labeled "CIA funded right-wing fascists" by the boligarchs in charge of the government, who are the real 1% of Venezuela now.

8. Didn't watch the interview did you ?
