#1 while at work, one of my patients was watching a spanish news channel.
On this newscast they were showing Chavez being well received by the Mexicans during his speech. They also switched over to the Brazil deal.
All this being broadcast in the United States, showing President Bush in a bad light. With the most of the folks watching this broadcast being illegals with some legal residents thrown in. I don't know how well tempered this newscast is being.
Yes, let's get them all fired up against our country now.

#3 Hell, Jan, why would you expect the Mexes to be any better than our homegrown MSM? At least the Mexes have the excuse of being criminal foreigners.

#4 "I've got a bad feelin' about this" (forgive me I've been watching Star Wars reruns lol)
It's just so discouraging.
When you mix uneducated folks in our country that speak primarily spanish with this type of hype it's not going to be a good outcome.

#9 Chavez: Bush is symbol of domination

No one has forced the world to adopt the American dollar as a standard. The market did because idiots running their own governments keep tanking their economies.

No one has forced the world to listen to or adopt American pop culture. The 'masses' have because, like millions of their neighbors who've pulled stakes and headed to the promised land, it represents vitality, opportunity, and hope that has for generations been ground out of their own culture by dictators, oligarchs, and petty bureaucrats.

If you have something to sell, you'll have buyers. That includes 'ideas' as well as oil.

#11 Oh yeah...
If we're an empire then where's Chavez's tribute money for being allowed to occupy space on our extended landmass? Huh? Oh... nice hat. Very French.

#12 Maybe he thinks he's Che... thus the hat.

Now that I think of it... has anyone seen Skerry's lucky hat?

#13 Seeing how this particular bit of news is being accepted by those watching a spanish speaking channel is very worrisome.
I see our country being saturated with illegals that follow the beat of this drum. It's very scary to think that many actually agree with Chavez and his beliefs. That we Americans are to blame for their poverty, and how they deserve more.
I just foresee a very explosive end to all of this.
I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it. Pretty soon a fence won't be enough, as we're being corroded from within too.

#14 calling him a "symbol of domination"

That's really rich coming from someone who just got "Dictator by Decree" powers from his "Congress."

#15 Has anyone publicly criticized this assclown for shipping Venezuela's oil abroad for a pittance to buy influence for "la revolucion" while millions are starving in his own country?
