w00t Chavez....
" Chavez, a self-described revolutionary, is mounting an aggressive land reform campaign and funneling profits from Venezuela's oil riches to the poor as part of a political movement loosely based on the ideas of South American independence hero Simon Bolivar."

2. caring for the poor over the rich
is it any wonder our media and politicians hate him, and refer to him as a 'strongman' and other such insulting terms?

4. Land reform...
Giving land to the poor? Jeeez...it's a wonder this guy hasn't made the CIA most wanted list yet.

On the contrary, how much private land does the US gov. handover to multinational corporations under Eminent Domain?

--------Sporting a red shirt embossed with a picture of the revolutionary Che Guevera, Chavez received a hero's welcome Sunday in southern Brazil, where activists greeted him with cries of "Here comes the boss!"----- love it!
