Reply #9: this isnt a pirate radio station [View All]

[sabbat hunter]

this is a TV station that dared to voice opposition to Chavez and in his word "support capitalism"

they were accused of supporting (not being involved or participating in) a coup against Chavez in 2002. because they dared to air the opposition not because they aired programs saying people should support the coup.

supporting the opposition does not equal participating in a coup attempt.

first chavez gets dictatorial powers from the venzuelan congress, now he shuts down a TV/Radio station that dares oppose him

what is next?


also i remind you that chavez himself tried to overthrow an elected government in a coup. so only he is allowed to get away with these things?

additionally since the opposition parties sat out the last elections, Chavez and his party ran unopposed so i really wouldnt call that democracy in action.

Finally Chavez is trying to change the constitution so he can run for office again and again (Right now he is prohibited by their constitution) if bush tried to do this there would be cries (and rightly so) of him trying to upsurp the constitution and make himself dictator. how is chavez doing htis any different? just because he calls himself a socialist?
