Hugo Chavez........DEAD

[tsm]

As we used to say many years ago: Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish!

The man who called Bush 43 the devil probably knows different by now.

I've never killed anyone - but I've read a few obituaries with a great degree of satisfaction... His would make that list.

I did not personally like his political ideas. However to die of cancer is , especially since he was only 58. Way too young to die of a disease we can not win against.

Old age I'm okay with as it's natural and there is no way to fight that.
But cancer, altimers ((??when you lose you mind??), etc. how do you fight that.

 

[No2rdame]

Good riddance. Now I wonder if the next dung heap in control down there will be anti-American???

Short answer - yes. I just heard on the radio that the VP is already verbally lashing out at us. Right, as if we killed the sorry bast@rd.

Since Venezuela is now without a communist dictator, I propose that we send Obama and Biden to take Chavez's place.

That A-hole in Iran is still alive.

It certainly is a bad day for a number of Hollywood leftists for sure.

Somewhere right now Oliver Stone is crying his eyes out.

Well, the praise from a dem didn't take long.

Rep. Jose Serrano on Hugo Chavez: "a leader that understood the needs of the poor." - Hit & Run : Reason.com

I'm sure Obama will give Chavez a sad farewell...more than he did for an American Hero.

"To those who can hear me, I say “Do not despair.”

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish." -Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator
