:wtf: @ Belarus
so-called left wing sympathies run deep
No one said anything about that which again goes to be point that Welfare was implemented years and years before Chavez making your argument irrelevant. It's like you mentioning something in the present and all my arguments are from past tense.

ok breh we're past the point of you comprehending what's actually being discussed. cheers

Seems like they had close relations.

On your initial post, I'm not sure about the conclusions you've reached on Lula. As far as I know economic growth and FDI have increased in Brazil for a better part of a decade. How exactly do his wealth transfer policies make him a faux leftist? Brazil, along with Chile appear to have had even more success than Venezuela as far as inequality, healthcare, and literacy goes while keeping their economy in better standing. Why is that a terrible legacy?

What did he say about Lula? I missed it.

i'm not completely anti-lula, i just think many of the good he has done is more tenuous than it appears. he's not so much of a faux leftist as an incomplete one that wants to take credit for things that might happen. if all continues to go well, i will be happy to give lula and his counterparts credit. shyt as an american with business and social interests in brazil, i'm thankful for lula in a way. i'm just not ready to declare victory, and i can't stand hero worship, which chavez, morales, lula, and their friends thrive(d) on.
regardless if you agree or not @horse. kills is one of the most well spoken people here.

Chavez haters on the same intellectual wave length as TMZ

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has died ... this according to Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro.

Maduro -- who was fighting back tears during the announcement -- said Chavez died today at 4:25 PM.

Chavez had been in Cuba for months, where he was receiving treatment for a mystery illness that turned out to be cancer.

Chavez hated America ... and blamed all of the world's problems on the United States.

To paraphrase Ben Affleck ... Hugo f**k yourself.

He was 58.

don't forget about Obama.

I'm sure you save some of that vitriol for the millions of African-Americans that live vicariously through the president and view him as a source of personal pride.

When all else fails attack America and Obama.
