Wow, it must be nice to have a president that gives a shit about the little people.

No wonder the RW hates him.

1. Chavez is far more "Christian" than Pat Robertson could ever be

What a tremendous difference between the two.

2. Proof that we're now a 3rd world country via W

Our poor, who have an unreasonable minimum wage can no longer afford the basics, not even the gas to get to work.

Thanks Bush, you have redistributed the wealth efficiently. You have taken the wealth of the working class and given it to the rich elite.

3. It's just sad that they are trying to smear Chavez

they are just mad that a South American can be so inspirational, they hate it when colored folks speak up for themselves.

4. Chavez, Actually gets JC's teaching

He is a true Christian, lets watch the DEMONS, Demonize him. This is gonna get Good!

Let's see how, someone, who actually LOVES Jesus Christ and HIS teachings, get torn down by HIS teachings. This is the Alpha and the Omega of the Repukes Christianity. Hey, Hey, Bye, Bye!!

No wonder why Robertson is melting, melting, melting...........

5. Is Chavez Catholic?

[K8-EEE]

6. Chavez Is REALLY Getting Under Their Skin & I Love It!

I think it was brilliant of him to say this, as it immediately invokes this "who does he think he is?" attitude from people who feel it's their God-given right to go and bomb & occupy other lands to "liberate" them.

7. And the barb at the end: Free health care and medical training!

Amazing that this made it to CNN, as it does not reinforce the dear myth of the egalitarian America, rather than this weird neo-feudal state we seem to be. Countries many Americans would dismiss as insignificant are offering to help our poor, like some famine-stricken third-world country Sally Struthers would talk about. Sweet.

<<Chavez and Castro offered to give poor Americans free health care and train doctors free of charge>>
