(164,155 posts)Anyone can smell the difference a mile away between Democrats and progressives, and the right-wingers who try to infest this place to disrupt any communications among progressives regarding ANY and ALL Latin American politics. They despise and attempt to attack ALL Latin American leftists, except for those who attempted to make room for Inacio Lula da Silva, the former President of Brazil, whom they tried to claim was the "good" leftist as opposed to the others.
They had a hard time explaining why Lula was a staunch aly of Hugo Chavez. They always changed the subject when it was pointed out to them.
Every slur, every dirty, unworthy thing they've said about Maduro, they already said, with the exception he was a bus driver as a young man, about Chavez. They also went out of their way during the later part of Hugo Chavez's horrendous suffering to make fun of Chavez' appearance as he was being overtaken by his fatal illness.
Real class acts, all of them.
