Unreal Shit

This is "Reverend" Pat Robertson saying we should assassinate a democratically-elected chief executive of a foreign country.
Read it again. Go on.


Hugo Chavez has been put in power by poor, exploited, downtrodden people in Venezuela. The upper-middle and upper classes see Chavez as a threat to them, despite the miraculous fact that they are still upper-middle and upper class. The Poor (most Venezuelans) see Chavez as a good dude: He sends out milk to malnourished kids, helps people build homes. He was deposed momentarily in a US-sponsored coup attempt a few years back, and after a few million Venezuelas marched on the capitol building (I think it's called "Presidential Palace" in those places...weird!) and basically said to the sham "inauguration" going on inside: "You can leave by the stairs, or you can leave by the window. Or all of your bits can leave via discreet routes determined by mortar fire", Chavez was back in the seat he was democratically elected to serve in.
You might think to yourself "Venezuela? Who gives a flying fuck about Venezuela?" and you'd be right in reference to most Americans. Except for one thing almost all Americans care about: Oil. Venezuela sits on a shitload of oil. Hugo Chavez is the director of OPEC, or was recently, I forget. And he came to power on a wave of populist demand for land and economic reform to lessen the crushing poverty in Venezuela. He's not perfect, by any means (sound familiar?). But he was elected, and that means our government should NOT be sending in hitmen, our people should NOT be talking shit like that, and creeps like Robertson should go back to rolling around in the fucking billions they've lifted off of fucking morons for their entire lives.
I was going to go on but I just about blew a fucking gasket reading about Robertson. What a vile piece of absolute human scum.

Note: In an effort to prove how little of a shit Americans give about counties populated with poor brown people, I several times typo'd Venezuela to "Valenzuela" in the original post. Jesus! Stupid baseball is even more forward in my brain that poor brown people. I'm one of the assholes I'm writing about! I'm going to go jump into traffic.
