Chavez-Venezuela: Protests starting to show backlash
Big question: How does the loudmouth handle these protests - note that the banners call for DEMOCRATIZATION. What a novel concept...Venezuelan university students march protesting a proposed legislation they fear will curtail the autonomy of public universities and reduce budget in Caracas, Venezuela, Tuesday, July 19, 2005. Another shows that Chavez has doen something you dont do in Latin America: piss on the Catholic Church. His usual loudmouthed bullying will not work. Venezuela's Roman Catholic Church told President Hugo Chavez on Monday he had failed to behave like a head of state by using a state television broadcast to berate a cardinal who called him a dictator. I think 'ol Tubby has bitten off more than he can chew this time. Of course you heard nothign of the large protests the past few days in the MSM. God forbid they show a socialist in bad light.
