Thom Hartmann: Vaya con Dios, Hugo Chāvez, mi Amigo



Greg Palast, "Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps," joins Thom Hartmann. The man who famously called George W. Bush the devil and a donkey is dead. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez passed away yesterday - after a long battle with cancer. So how will history look back at the man that the Bush Administration loved to hate?

paying attention. This man truly put his people first, an untenable concept to the 1% used to having their way with world resources.

So disgusted that I sent her a tweet, educating her to the fact that he was NO dictator,

having been democratically elected FOUR times, and, to another friend, that while he

may have been, in her words -- "no saint" -- He had much to contend with, such

as the fact of his "opposition" -- aided and abetted by the US, I hear --trying to kill him TWICE.

I admired this man, and I'm pissed off at how he's being portrayed in the media.

Button above ain't workin' so I "copy video URL" on right click, top, and "paste" into my facebook. This way some may also see the truth that hadn't yet viewed it.
