Well yes you are.

Calling that fucking sorry clown in the white house 'el diablo' (hey and he called him a stupid burro too) is not anti-american, it is anti-dumbass. I applaud Chavez noting that not only does the chimperor have no clothes, he is a stupid arrogant idiot too.

Chavez didn't inflame anti-american sentiment in the region - we did that all on our own. For example in Bolivia we put Bechtel in charge of water, and required Bolivia to make collecting rain water in barrels illegal so that Bechtel could collect their rent. In Argentina we forced an economic program on them that completely wrecked their economy: total economic collapse. Our history of massive and disastrous interference in the region is long and bloody. Chavez is not 'inflaming anti american sentiment' he is bringing hope to the people of the region that there is another way.

But lets talk about Democracy and Venezuela. Venezueala has open transparent verified elections. We don't. Chavez is overwhelmingly popular with the people of Venezuela, which is why they keep voting him back into office. He is not a dictator. In fact one of the many democratic reforms he and his Bolivarian Party instituted was an amendment to the constitution providing for a direct recall election to remove the president from office at any time.
