http://en.mercopress.com/2016/04/13/rousseff-brands-vice-president-temer-a-traitor-and-coup-plotter-with-no-respect-for-democracyReferring to the leak Monday of a recording in which her vice president, Michel Temer, practices the speech he would make if Rousseff is impeached, the president said: The mask of the conspirators has fallen.
We are living in strange and worrying times, times of a coup and pretending and treachery, she said. Yesterday they used the pretense of a leak to give the order for the conspiracy.
Yesterday it became clear that there are two leaders of the coup who work together in a premeditated way, she said, without naming names, although the context clearly referred to Temer and the speaker of the lower house, Eduardo Cunha.
They are coup plotters, without respect for democracy, she said.

Why do you insist in satanizing all leftist leaders?

(14,732 posts)is the height of hypocrisy. Being progressive doesn't mean that you have to support incompetents.

You may not like her government, but incompetence is not a reason for impeachment or inventing stories about blaming CIA out of nowhere.
If incompetence was a reason for impeachment, I believe no American president would have finished his term.

(14,732 posts)this post) commented on Dilma. But whether her government is incompetent is immaterial to me. It is not however immaterial to millions of your compatriots who want to see her out (and, please no tel"Right Wing Fascist Golpistas" response). Time will tell if she (and Lula) survive politically.
Funny, because I've seen several posts of yours accusing her, without any reason, of being someone who victimizes herself and blames everything on CIA. When in fact she never even criticized the US government for anything - except when her government was spied - and that's one of the reasons why progressive sectors of Brazil labeled her as a neoliberal. But, for some reason, you continue stereotyping her as a if she was a Brazilian Fidel Castro or something, when in fact her rhetoric has always been quite friendly towards the US.
Some examples:
1 - "That's because the CIA is controlling the polling"

You also made linked Dilma to a supposed CIA paranoia (which you're the only one who sees, since Dilma has never even pronounced the expression "CIA" during her entire government, much less blamed the US for anything - except spying, which is, of course, more than justified).
2 - "Looks like the CIA is going to have to be hiring. Soon - they can't keep up with the workload of destabilizing Venezuela and now Brazil's economy, even with Alvaro Uribe's help. (just in case"
Here, another ironic comment as an answer to another poster's stereotyped statement about "sheblamesCIAforeverything"
3 - "Nah, obviously they're a minority of right-wingers paid by the CIA to protest against Rousseff"
- "...or tools of the Brazilian Oligarchy.

You do the same here, again as an answer to another poster's comment:
4 - "$20 says DUers will be referring to "the CIA-backed coup in Brazil" in a year"
- In a year? Hell, I expect it within a month or two.

Here, you are stereotyping her as a chavista
5 - "She, Cristina and Maduro can form a club..."

I don't know what this is, if ignorance or bad faith. Anyway, you should work on that.
